I agree with this. I often find myself listening to Led Zepellin and wondering just what on earth Robert Plant is going on about. Perhaps it's just me but, although I admire the quality of his voice, I feel his diction is somewhat lacking (I said diction, you dirty bad boy!). However, despite struggling to make out the lyrics the sheer power, and occasionally the tenderness, of their music is undeniable.
