Out of touch? I thought I was the one who was out of touch for liking
Led Zeppelin. That song, Dazed and Confused, was released in 1969. That
was fifty-two years ago. I find myself being made fun of for listening
to that old fashioned stuff.

Irvin D. Yalom “Truth," Nietzsche continued, "is arrived at through
disbelief and skepticism, not through a childlike wishing something were
so! Your patient's wish to be in God's hands is not truth. It is simply
a child's wish—and nothing more! It is a wish not to die, a wish for the
eveastingly bloated nipple we have labeled 'God'! Evolutionary theory
scientifically demonstrates God's redundancy—though Darwin himself had
not the courage to follow his evidence to its true conclusion. Surely,
you must realize that we created God, and that all of us together now
have killed him.” ― Irvin D. Yalom, When Nietzsche Wept

Yikes!!!
I had to go to the link. Just as I hit enter, the "music" knocked me
over and the sky opened up. It's raining cows and elephants. But to
answer your question, misogynistic or not, I'm not the one to judge,
since I only lasted about 21 seconds. Frankly, with apologies. this
reminds me that I am somewhat out of touch, musically speaking. I
still think of Neil Diamond as being current. I quickly turn off the
radio when my son drops around, entering the house and instantly
getting that Deer in the Headlights look when he hears what I'm
listening to
But actually I do have an answer to your question. The answer is, Who
Cares? I mean, if you like it, and you said you thought it is their
greatest song, then simply enjoyit. I've been laughed at or hooted at
for most of the music I enjoy. If the groans or yucks get too loud, I
simply turn up the volume or put on headphones. Question resolved.

Opinions please. Someone tells me that my favorite Led Zeppelin song is
misogynistic. I differ. I say that if it was about women in general then
it would be misogynistic, but it is about one specific and no doubt
fictional woman and that exonerates it from being misogynistic. By the
way, it is my favorite Led Zeppelin song because of its sound. I went
for years without even bothering to pay attention to the words. But now
that I have paid attention to the words I don't think it is
misogynistic. Let me know what you think. Here is a link to it:
