Led Zeppelin

The first album by Led Zeppelin, called "Led Zeppelin", was decent at best, in my opinion. I'm a fan of metal, or whatever category Led Zeppelin fits in to, but I'm not a huge fan of this album. I think most of the songs were way too long, with too many guitar solos and unneeded spots without vocals. I usually don't mind 6 or 7 minute songs, as long as they're that long for a good reason. Led Zeppelin seemed to make these songs so long just so they could show off their ability to slay on the guitar or drums. I respect their abilities, but I don't need to hear every bit of it in one album. A lot of music nowadays is similar to that, in the sense that producers just want to show off their producing abilities and don't care about the lyrics or content. This is definitely a problem, but hopefully Zeppelin figured it out within the next couple of years of recording.
