Led Zeppelin is objectively the best band since the 70s. Fact. I strongly question this notion.
They were brilliant performance artists but they weren't the most original, interesting or creative bunch.
They appealed the best to everyone though. Common listeners loved them because of their catchy music and laid back style, and musicians adore them because of everyone in the band is considered one of the best in rock at their particular instrument. They found the perfect balance between making music for "casuals" and keeping it engaging for "hardcores".
Not to mention that pretty much every genre they touched, they turned it to gold. You think they aren't original? Just listen to The Rain Song or Stairway to Heaven. I know it might not impress you that much, but it takes a special kind of musician to appreciate the pure and utter genius it takes to create something like that.
