[Little Things You Don't Like About Led Zeppelin?]

Opinions are like rear ends:  Everyone's got one, and here's mine:

1. Inconsistency of Robert Plant's lyric writing.  His lyrics range from cosmic highs to generic school boy scribblings.  Too many of the songs are written about him losing his woman and/or love.  Not expecting him to be Bob Dylan, but he never really wrote anything meaningfully deep.  "We just want it to be about the music, maaaan."
2. Speaking of Percy, some of his lyrics were indecipherable anyway, especially later on.  Lockjaw from too much coca? 
3. The Companion Discs.  I understand a lot of the stuff was already out there illegally, but most of the songs sound 98% like the original release.  Would liked to have hear more songs in their embryonic stages (see The Beatles "Anthology" discs).
4. No audio releases of complete concerts, say from 1975 or even 1980.  Who cares if they weren't perfect sounding?
5. Not putting "The Rover" on the Houses of the Holy album instead of "D'yer Mak'er."

As far as Robert's lyrics, they didn't bother me, but what I can't stand are the shrill "push, push yeah!s" in latter day TSRTSs. And I hate the poorly-pronounced, lowered pitch versions of OTHAFA; I actually prefer the MSG '77 version where he goes for the high notes, but can't hit them.

[What live song do you skip or endure?]

I would skip some Moby Dicks and some D + Cs, but I actually like most noise solos pretty well, and I really can't see why most fans seem to despise them. I also wouldn't skip Hot Dog most shows, but I would consider skipping the related trio of slow tracks from the '80 shows.
