  How about people who think that Jimmy Page was a very good guitar player who
has been riding on his reputation for about 5 years?  Anyone who saw the Plant-
Page reunion (why wasn't JPJ there?) on Live Aid knows what I'm talking about.

  I do, however, feel that Led Zeppelin was one of the few bands who made the
seventies more than just fragments of the sixties (musically speaking of course)

  Their best songs (in my not-so-humble opinion) were "Fool in the Rain" and
"I'm Gonna Crawl" from "In Through the Out Door,"  "Dazed and Confused" from
the first album, and "Misty Mountain Hop" from the fourth.  Notice which song
is deliberately eliminated, due mostly to over-exposure.

  Something for LZ fans to think about:  To what extent do you agree with the
Rolling Stone Book of Rock Lists that the first album was "recycled Jeff Beck
Group"?
