Former Led Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant ought to rejoice in the endless variety offered by the Internet. At one point during his sojourn to Austin, he pined over the narrowcasting of modern music, the Hollywood Reporter noted: "I hate the idea that the jukebox is based on five songs, mass popularity," Plant said. Yeah, Bob, and if they would just stop playing "The Immigrant Song" every time I go to the bar then they could make room for something else. Oh well, it would probably just be Billy Joel anyway.
Why do places play The Immigrant Song, anyway? Excepting that excellent crazy scream at the beginning (which is made better by Jack Black's imitation in School of Rock) that song is pretty pathetic by Zepp standards.
Ahem, That is a very good song. Not great, but good. You want to talk about bad Zeppelin songs? Listen to
Coda, one of their last albums. Absolutely bad compared to their genius repetoire that came before the end
