I've seen these guys a few times a couple of years ago, before they got so big.

They're a great live band, it was a very entertaining show.

They're much softer than the music i usually listen to, but they're a good Australian band.

They're songs are good for drunken party jamming.

Disagree. I cringe any time anything they've done comes on the radio. Thank god I hardly ever listen to the radio anymore.

Yeah, they're definately not anything original.

what genre of music is it?

Listen to The Who, that'll explain Zeppelin's "sound".

Inclined to agree. the band itself sounds ok. I can hear infulences of several other bands
Not real impressed with the vocalist. Just somethign about it that just doesnt quite fit right

Still overall better then about 90% of anything I've heard recently
Doesnt sound like hes trying to scream through a tracheotomy or trying to sing as though he just gargled with battery acid which is how alot of these copycat bands sound these days
But then again it doesnt take a whole lot of talent to scream does it?

Not a great band. but not totally terrible either

Listen for yourself

Wolfmother ripped off Led Zeppelin just as much as Led Zeppelin ripped off The Who.

Wow...usually you and I agree on music, but I gotta say I see no relation with Zeppelin and the Who. I love both, but they are not very similar IMO. If Page took anything from anyone's book, I'd say it was Cream. I'd say Page had LOTS of influences before he formed Zeppelin, The Who would be on the list maybe, but way far down that list.

Also, let me say this, I said Page had lots of influences before he formed Zep, and I think there were many greats before them. But he took all those little things and turned it into something else. To me, Led Zeppelin is "perfect" Rock and Roll. They are still evident in anything you hear today. So to say they are Led Zeppelin ripoffs is unfair. I think everyne that came after them has ripped them off in some way or another. I honestly think music CANNOT get "better" than the mighty Zep.
