* ScrewedByTheLawyers: When "Stairway To Heaven" was released, many called attention to the fact that the opening chords sounded suspiciously similar to the opening notes of "Taurus" by the Californian band Spirit. Led Zeppelin had opened for Spirit very early in their career which meant Plant and Page would have definitely heard Spirit play Taurus. Led Zeppelin was then taken to court in for alleged copyright infringement and a trial began in 2016. The band ended up winning the case, but two years later in 2018, another judge ruled there were errors in the previous trial, and threw out the verdict. A new trial took place in 2020 and the original verdict was restored, and an attempted appeal failed when the US Supreme Court declined to hear it. So the case is now closed, and if anyone fits this trope, it's the people who brought the suit for Spirit in the first place. Randy California who wrote "Taurus" refused to sue, so it wasn't until after his death that his estate decided to sue. So yeah, it was the lawyers who won, no matter what side you are on.

** While "Stairway to Heaven".Heaven" is perhaps their most famous song, it is admittedly a pretty light song for the otherwise heavy-rocking band. Robert Plant once called it a "bloody wedding song".

* BuryYourArt: The band were hugely disappointed with their reunion performance at UsefulNotes/LiveAid. It was the first time they had played together since their dissolution, and the result was marred by faulty guitars, technical errors, Robert Plant's voice being shot, and Jimmy Page being higher than a kite. Consequently, they prevented their performance from being put on the official DVD release of the concert in 2004.

** That leaves John Bonham as the only member who had no dislike for something [[note]]except sobriety[[/note]]. Though one song which, while not a backlash, he and Page had reservations about, given its rather soft sound, was "All My Love" (which instead Plant considers as one of the band's finest songs).

* OldShame: The band would like to forget their reunion performances at [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TudbbVdz8os 1985's]] UsefulNotes/LiveAid and the 1988 [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vM2gw4iuUhE Atlantic Records 40th Anniversary concert]]. What were supposed to be epic reunion performances were made infamous by Jimmy Page's faulty guitars, poorly functioning monitors; and in the case of Live Aid, Robert Plant's voice was shot and Jimmy Page was higher than Music/SnoopDogg on April 20th. The band went as far as preventing their performance from being put on the official Live Aid DVD in 2004.

* CreatorBreakdown: ''Presence'' was rush-recorded in eighteen days just prior to the arrival of Music/TheRollingStones, who block-booked the studio Zeppelin were working in to record ''Black and Blue'', and in a period when Robert Plant was recovering from injuries sustained in a car accident in Rhodes, Greece which led to the him recording ''Presence'' in a wheelchair, and the band cancelling a major tour. The lyrics are filled with Plant's introspective lyrics on the rock and roll lifestyle, and his fears that the weirdness surrounding the band was jinxing him and his bandmates. He contemplated retiring from music at one point. This, along with the band's short time to record the album and the band's wishes to return to a harder-rocking sound gave the album a tension and desperation not present in any other album.
