Curious about your thoughts on the Greta Van Fleet “they’re a Zeppelin ripoff” stuff. I like their music and I’m hoping they are able to shake that reputation a bit. Also, apparently I’ve only listened to From The Fires and Anthem of the Peaceful Army, so apparently I’ve got some catching up to do.
Also, first post on lemmy, lets gooooooooo!
I’ve heard abit about this too. At the time I heard of it I’d actually never listened to a single Zeppelin track, it made me curious (who could come close to the genius of Greta!!??) . I’ve been listening to their albums and there is definitely a resemblance in their music styles.
At this point I can’t really say that Greta “ripped off” of Led Zeppelin since I’m new to their music. But I like it so far, definitely my kind of sound.
Hah! It didn’t even occur to me that someone would not have listened to Zeppelin before. They’re so foundational in classic rock. Incidentally, a lot of people accused Zeppelin of ripping off earlier blues and blues rock acts when they first blew up. To me, all art is just people riffing on what came before, and you’re bound to encounter artists across space and time that have very similar aesthetics to each other. No one owns an aesthetic.
Am I the only who thinks they sound more like Rush than Zeppelin?? To me their singer sounds like a dead ringer for Geddy Lee
Happy to see Tiny Moving Parts getting mentioned. I actually just listened to Celebrate for the first time a week ago, and while I think it’s great, Pleasant Living still edges it out. I just love Always Focused, I wish there were a lot more super-positive emo songs like that.
A fellow neck deep enjoyer? Saving this and having a listen later haha
Hell Yeah, I love neck deep. Their music is some of the best I’ve ever heard, made me fall for rock. Enjoy.
