I mean they didn't really start doing fantasy lyrics and stuff till their 4th album or so. And I mean the early Zeppelin records are straight blues rock, basically amplified, soulful sort of blues, with a lot of purity and raw sexual energy. I mean Exile on Main St (or going back even further to their 60s rock songs) is about as raw and unpolished as one could get in the '70s. You'd think though that John Lyndon or Sid Vicious would've listened to a Stones or a Zeppelin record growing up. There's a sly under-current of pisstaking in most write ups involving the Stones and it's been that way for decades.
They didn't hate The Stones or Zeppelin, they just found them ridiculous and ridiculed them and that don't really take much understanding does it, everybody does that, it's the general concensus about all them lot, just like when you open the papers and it's like "Wrinkley Rocker Ronnie Wood Has Tryst With Au Pair Girl' or some such bullshit, it's just the way of the world, isn't it? Thats how it began anyway, people in magazines asking John Lydon what he thought of such and such band and he just took the piss out of them and a lot of people agreed and some took that pisstaking to levels of like, hatred and attack etc but generally speaking they just took the piss out of them and considered them foolish and thats no news, thats always been that way.
