Zeppelin 2

Last week, we listened to Led Zeppelin's second album, the appropriately titled: Zeppelin 2.
This album just has hit after hit on it, and it's pretty obvious why.
...Is 'cause the songs are gooooooood.
Despite the negative opinion from our own class (and it's not like they read this so who cares what I say) I like this album for pretty much all the reasons they think that it sucks.
They said it was repetitive, while I just think they have a short attention span. (oh snap)
It's really not that repetitive. You can't sit there and tell me that Whole Lotta Love is repetitive. It starts with the main riff leading into a verse going into a chorus with full band followed by the full band doing another verse and chorus leading up to what I call the "hippie jam" section, afterwards we go to a verse, then chorus, then it's the outro.
I think the problem with what the class had is what perhaps a lot of people have. That is that they don't care. They don't care, and they don't wanna expand their horizons. And because they don't give out the extra effort to spend some of their time to try something new, they just pray for the end. It's all about finishing things up and turning it in, rather than actually studying and taking the time to form whatever it is you're working on become really nice. In this case, they're working on a final opinion.
I'm not trying to demean anyone, because I have this problem too. Everyone does, I think. The only thing that really sets me apart from the rest is that I take the time to acknowledge this AND I can admit that I share the same issue, rather than what I would expect from the rest of the class if they were to read this (which they won't.) and that is that they'd probably instantly refuse any claim that I make, and insult me.
Eh. Sucks to suck.
ANYWAY, to get back on topic. Zep 2 was awesome.
