I think it may have something to do with the title.... and lyrics about a woman who drives him insane.   Just saying.

My second girlfriend, back in high school, loved Led Zeppelin, and gave me a bunch of tapes (1991) to listen to. I did, 'cause she was hot. But I still don't get Zeppelin. They're annoying. I know I'm in the minority, and I'm sorry to interrupt your enjoyment as you read the otherwise doubtless glowing comments. But I can't stand 'em. I think that's why she dumped me...
 

Sorry Harlan, she put the writing on the wall right in front of you 30 years ago. It was your chance, you blew it but it's never too late to come around and let your mind enjoy rock and roll for what it is!

Have had collection twice....1st, all cassettes....then, with modern tech, all CD's!! And, btw, what Plant is doing now with A. Krauss...nearly as good as the Zep of days gone by!!! Good pair up, those 2!!

The most overrated? Probably not because they were pretty damn good. Overplayed? YES, YES, YES, totally. I wish there was a Led Zeppelin filter button because I get tired of hitting PSD.
