4. Glad

to hear they finally won a Grammy, although my favorite album by them is "The Song Remains The Same"

[GoCubsGo]

5. Yay!!!

There's really something wrong when it takes Led Zeppelin this long to win one, but Mush Mouth (Lorde) already has one, and possibly one or two more before this night is over. I really don't get it...

6. here's who accepted...

With Zeppelin as a no-show, their Grammy win was accepted by Cindy Lauper, who served as host for the Grammy Pre-Telecast. Although the Pre-Telecast segment of the Grammys is not televised, it is streamed online on Grammy.com

8. I has a jealous

I've seen Page with the Firm and with Page & Plant and seen Plant solo and Jones solo but never got to see the whole band.

[JI7]

9. Jones is amazing

[OriginalGeek]

10. Easily one of the top 5

best live shows I've ever seen. I think, if it has a string he can play it. Masterfully.

11. Were you in Denver?

That's where I saw them right after Christmas in 1968. They were absolutely amazing.

[Codeine]

12. Did they actually win one, or just steal one from an old black guy? nt

14. They deserve it.

But it's kind of a shame that the "Rock" genre has become so inconsequential in popular culture. Who are the Zeppelins of today? Imagine Dragons? The Black Keys? gulp ... fun.?

15. "Grammy! Bleeding hell! I like 'em much younger than that. Much much younger!" -Jimmy Page

[lame54]

17. Too Late...

The Grammy's are the worst of the awards shows
They never pick the right bands of the time - they always have to give a retro award in an attempt to redeem themselves - meanwhile they continue to celebrate the crap music of our time
Do they even know there is music apart from the top 40

[Tom Ripley]

19. +1000

18. corporate rock did me a big favor

in the days of free form radio, there was no other music in my world besides 60's - 70's rock.
When corporate radio bought every radio station in America and started playing 80's "music", I found myself adrift at sea. I knew there was something really wrong, it wasn't until it was too late that I figured outr what. It was Reagan and Meese's intentional destruction of the counterculture of the 60's - 70's.

They did me a favor because I then discovered the music they never played on the radio - jazz, blues, the often far higher quality music that rock and roll borrowed from.

I am grateful to bands like Led Zepplin for pointing me in the right direction.
