Actually, listening to the song again, most of it is quite decent, but the music (in the vocal and guitar) that accompanies the words "she's just a woman" is incredibly cheesy, but may be a concession to 50s and 60s style pop.
Well this is quite strange, I just finished listening to Led Zeppelin II for the first time, and Living Loving Maid struck me as the weakest song on the album by far. Could I ask if anyone has the orignal interview where Page said he disliked the song? Thanks in advance.
