> biggest band on the planet writes a GOAT song with hilariously silly lyrics meant to appeal to fellow D&D geeks at the height of that game's popularity
actually extremely based

that's not dnd, friend
its Tolkien.

robert plant was the supreme gentleman

I know that, but D&D is 90% based on LoTR, or at least it was back then

Squeeze my lemon, till the juice runs down my leg

This was written before Tolkien became a meme.

Ramble On is their 3rd best song

If Gollum dissing ya fly girl
give him one of these

COPE

That's unnecessary, I don't understand your aggression

literally all fantasy is

nah, Asian fantasy mostly goes back to a book called Journey to the West

British hippies were obsessed with Tolkien. Tolkien himself was not amused.

Its cringe to the max. Zepplin is basically the biggest overrated boomer meme band there is. Literally just biters and self indulgent garbage that has no sense of pacing and drag shit out forever.

Led Zeppelin IV [Atlantic, 1971]
More even than "Rock and Roll," which led me into the rest of the record (whose real title, as all adepts know, is signified by runes no Underwood can reproduce) months after I'd stupidly dismissed it, or "Stairway to Heaven," the platinum-plated album cut, I think the triumph here is "When the Levee Breaks." As if by sorcery, the quasi-parodic overstatement and oddly cerebral mood of Led Zep's blues recastings is at once transcended (that is, this really sounds like a blues), and apotheosized (that is, it has the grandeur of a symphonic crescendo) while John Bonham, as ham-handed as ever, pounds out a contrapuntal tattoo of heavy rhythm. As always, the band's medievalisms have their limits, but this is the definitive Led Zeppelin and hence heavy metal album. It proves that both are--or can be--very much a part of "Rock and Roll." A

>no sense of pacing
That's the silliest criticism imaginable.

You can feel how you want, but I like cheesy power metal bands like Blind Guardian, Rhapsody of Fire, and Uriah Heep.

Ramble On predates D&D by five years

Its not the silliest criticism imaginable. One of the most common mistakes artists make is dragging out a musical idea far longer than it needs to be to convey the point they were making and it waters down the impact. I'm not saying that everything that's long is bad I'm just saying that this band in particular does an exceptional job of dragging everything out to the point that it has less impact. Also Robert Plant sounds like a female cat in heat and is unintelligible half of the time.

THE QUEEN OF LIGHT TOOK HER BOW
AND THEN SHE TURNED TO GO
THE PRINCE OF PEACE EMBRACED THE GLOOM
AND WALKED THE NIGHT ALONE

I unironically thought Plant was the frontman of King Crimson until I heard someone mention Zeppelin.
Boomer music sucks t bh
