There's more to the "hardcore" aspect than just being good at your instrument.[/quote]
They used interesting scales and intervals beyond pentatonic stuff, and Black Dog is still a freaking mystery as to what's going on with its counting. What do you mean? When I say hardcore, I mean people who need complex compositions to keep them from getting bored. Fair point, musically they did some interesting stuff.
Pretty interesting? That's all? Some of the things they did were -blam!- genius! If you don't really understand music and how it works, I think it's really hard to comprehend how intensely amazing Led Zeppelin was.I do understand music, I still don't find them to be the most interesting musicians on the block
Not sonically interesting however, but that's a different ballpark really.
This is a pretty ambiguous statement. Some people think that "sonically," dubstep is purely amazing. However, I think that sonically, it's a piece of crap. Stairway to Heaven has got to be one of the most sonically interesting pieces of work I have ever had the enjoyment of hearing. That might also stem from the fact that I understand what's really happening in the song.... what's happening is something that I could never even imagine myself creating.I'm talking about making music with interesting sounds and experimenting with sound in general. Zep songs all sound pretty conventional with the instrumentation used when lots of other bands in the progressive and psychedelic rock area used tons of unique and strange sounds in their music. Look at Barrett-era Pink Floyd and all the bands in the Krautrock genre, they had some weird stuff going on there.
