Who Has The Most Presence?
Led Zeppelin are the best (in my opinion) rock/hard rock band of all time. Each member brings their own personality and musicality to the band, and are equally important and amazing. Here's a rundown, album by album, song by song, of who carries the most presence for the song. It's whoever I gravitate to listening to during the song and who has the individual coolest part(s). I'm only basing it on released albums between 1969-1982, as well as released b-sides.
