I tried to like but just can’t do it. I don’t like my rock with so much cuteness and sex appeal. They blow

I like my rock to sound good and could give a shite what they look like, then again I am an old fart.

I work with a chick who apparently grew up next to some of those dudes, so I don't know what to think.

I prefer the real Led Zeppelin over the remake.

I listened to their album on a road trip. It sounded competent, sometimes interesting, sometimes a little bland. The Zeppelinisms didn't bother me much.

I know you're supposed to either be outraged by the plagiarism or dazzled by the retro rockness but it didn't strike me either way. I may listen to it again but if I don't, I'll find a way to survive without it.

It’s been discussed, and yes they suck. Unless we’re talkimg about Led Zeppelin cover bands, then they are pretty good.

I can't listen to them. I tried. It's like a dime store version of Led Zepplin. Its almost annoying to me.

The singer sucks and is a wanna-be Robert Plant. Replace him and it's probably a good rock band.

We have discussed them ad nauseum. Personally, I like them. They’re a real breath of fresh air on alt radio. It actually sounds like rock music. Which is admittedly a low bar, but sadly, FM radio seems determined to starve us of anything that remotely feels like rock. Even a cheap Zeppelin imitation is better than the overproduced computer band crap that passes for “alt rock” these days.

This. They are 1 notch above a cover band.

It's better than 95% of what's out there, but that's not really saying much. I haven't listened to them since earlier this year, and don't really feel the need to.

I prefer the old dead blues guys that Zeppelin ripped off.

I really like them, they're a pretty fresh sound given recent music despite sounding like Zeplin. People put Josh down for sounding like Plant but don't realize how talented one has to be to sound that similar. They're about to drop the first album hopefully they branch out in their sound they certainly got the talent to do it

This board reads like a Rolling Stone magazine review of early Zeppelin. The hatred of this band is comical. Also, not giving credit for genuine good music, whether it’s to your taste or not, is just short sighted.

The band is good. The new album has a much more original sound. To say they suck or the singer sucks just reeks of desperation to have an “original”/ edgey opinion. JMO

The singer is trying to sound like Robert Plant and it's clear. If he'd try to sound like Freddie Mercury, he'd get slammed for that as well. He needs to be original.

Nobody is saying they suck. They're just an extremely derivative band that really is just a step up from a straight cover band. They're not bad, but I'd rather just listen to Led Zeppelin if I'm listening to something trying to sound exactly like Led Zeppelin.

ETA - I do see a couple people say they suck. They don't suck, but they're nothing special.

They don't suck, but I'd rather listen to Zeppelin, not open mic Zeppelin.
