Do you even realize WHO were Led Zeppelin?
One well known guitarist who was a legend in his very young age, one very proffesional musician and arranger and two guys from the worst part of Birmingham that had nothing but soon became legends of their own.
Do you even realize Led Zeppelin were nobodies when they started in UK, that they refused TV play they refused talk to media for a decent while and their ONLY strategy was to play the hell on the stage, to crush all the bands they headlined to get their audience?
Do you realize it wasn't until they hit America that they started to rezonate with the audience and received somewhat a cult following among the "undisciplined and bad" youth, that their concerts started to fill by word of mouth more than anything else? and that they were hated and ignored by the music press of its time?
Is that the way how to become overrated? Of course there is a bunch of people who onlu know "Starway to heaven" but shouldn't they? if it's the most requested song on the radio of all time?
Jeez when I saw Page with Plant after all these years live on their tour and I was getting shivers and my heart stopped beating time from time, is that what the overrated bands do?
Those guys were, are and always will be legends, and they deserve it, I don't see any other view applicable.
