Honestly I've never been much of a Zeppelin fan 
Re: rockfacts on twitter
I'm with Faldor. I think they hit on a modern rock masterpiece with Hybrid Theory. But they were just never able to get back there. Since Hybrid, they've been a singles-band only.
And Bono, honest to God dude, I love the Stones, I love CCR, I love vintage Skynyrd, I get the southern, blues-inspired rock thing... and i've ALWAYS thought Zeppelin was overrated by miles. Still a great band. I just feel there are better.
