John Paul is definitely the least recognized, but I don’t know enough to know how good each one is individually, I just like the whole. I like the story of how John Paul joined the band where his wife said Jimmy was putting together a new band and he should go try out or whatever. He said he was doing pretty well as a studio musician, but thought what the hell. Something like that.
Plant, who I later met and talked to for about 30 minutes in Lexington and is an extremely nice person, has (had) a true 4 octave range with his voice, which is rare. Page was a highly paid studio guitarist who was one of the best guitarists to ever live when he wasn't high on heroin. Jones can play about any instrument out there, and arranged most of their music and still works as an arranger. They say Bonham's power came from his days as a bricklayer, but he had one of the fastest foots out there. His triplets are legendary still. He reportedly only drank that heavy when they toured, because he missed being home. Sad that he passed. Zeppelin was a perfect storm of talent.
