 Topic: Led Zeppelin members poll!
Posted: September 05 2010 at 08:55 |
Another poll like my previous one with The Beatles.
Similarities:
- Another great band creating a history of Rock
- Four more or less equivalent members
- Disbanded on the top of their popularity
(Bonzo is favourite of mine. One of best drummers ever, "Hendrix with sticks")

John Bonham, I am a drummer myself. so he's truly an inspiration.

I admit it was Jimmy Page that made them a legend, but my favourite is always Bonham. His solos are epic, as good as Cobham. Plus, he's a speed freak!

can't choose really; Robert Plant is one of my favourite vocalists, loved his vocals in LZ but i also like his solo work and the album he did with Jimmy Page - Walking into Clarksdale.
Jimmy Page is an amazing guitarist, another favourite  of mine. Even Coverdale Page was great, underrated I'd say.
John Bonham - what to say, what to say - indeed the driving force as it's been previously said, great drummer. There's a Dazed and Confused live version on the BBC Sessions, the drumming there is jaw dropping for me.
Last but not least, John Paul Jones's bass work in LZ was great; his keyboard work as well; I absolutely love the live version of No Quarter on The Song Remains the Same. Outstanding!

I must agree with Cristi.
Led Zeppelin, like many great bands. was greater than the sum of its parts.

I like Jones for his post Zep solo albums.

I believed in Bonzo´s victory, but I´m surprised to Plant´s weak result.

Wonder what would have happened if R.A.P. had not been Page's winning third choice and BJ Wilson had been drumming and not Bonzo. Were it not for Jimmy none of the rest would have been possible. They probably would have been well noted but it was Page's vision.... JPJ does make a great solo album. So does Plant. Except for Shaken an' Stirred.... Unlike Jimmy who really needs to put some of his unreleased stuff he occasionally hypes to the press. The Outrider album just didn't... quite... hit the spot. The electric bit on that movie It Might Get Loud and his Domino track from Net Aid are good indications that he's got some fantastic material waiting for the light of day. Come on Jimmy. While we're still young. Ofr at least alive FFS! Bonzo made Zeppelin sound great though. Made drum solos even I could listen to as well. He actually structure them unlike everyone else who just hit everything. I do not include Neil Peart or Bruford there. Vote for Zeppelin...

Bonzo is the devil, Plant is the demon, John Paul Jones is the angel, and Page is God.

A very difficult question  because Page is maybe the best guitarist of the world, Plant one of my favorite singers (Moreover I have not heard his last album yet, which appears to be very good), Bonzo a great drummer and John Paul Jones an excellent keyboard/bass player and composer. In fact, I hesitate especially between Page (even if his second album with Plant is without interest compared to the first one) and JPJ (who also realized a very good album and a beautiful one out of Led Zeppelin : The Tunderthief and Them Crooked Vultures  ) My classification: 1. Page/ JPJ 1,1. Plant 1,2. Bonham

Don't forget Zooma. That is how bass and drums should be done. It roars like most other metal releases whimper in comparison. Saw JPJ on that tour and that was a real highlight of that year. Oddly I've not yet heard the new Plant album, first time ever I've not got his new release on the day it did... dunno why... The key to the Zeppelin sound is Bonham. Page's ideas are great and JPJ is also arranging the harmonies to suit the drums but were it not for that sound and precision, that almighty power then the band that became the wolrd's greatest rock band ever on the back of a mere 8 studio albums a live / best of / soundtrack/ and 550 concerts might have had to cede to the Who. Still it is difficult as it was Pages vision from 1 to 4 and then the rest having their crrative freedom loose. Mind you the song loving public probably recognise the incomparable vocal of RP first and foremost.

I've changed in recent years to a Plant lover. I really like what he's done recently. Great to see someone acknowledging how his voice and abilities have changed and adapting to put out great material.
All the guys were great though.
