Well he stabbed a friend/bandmate of his in the face over 10 times (this was fatal obvs.), he's racist, anti-semitic and all that good stuff, and he hasn't released good music in like for freaking ever.
Observe, the page for Taylor Swift, http://yourfaveisproblematic.tumblr.com/post/45761093757/taylor-swift in which it seemingly places the onus of the Madonna/Whore complex and the idea that virginity is super important for girls entirely on her rather than assuming the more likely option, that she's just not a good songwriter and defaults to old tropes. Granted, this may seem like the same point but the wording makes it clear the person hasn't thought it through very far.
Also it calls her a fake geek girl.
So, basically...
The content of Your Fave Is Problematic is highly problematic?

Man, are people in rock bands given diplomatic immunity?
DIdn't the guy from Led Zepplin kidnap a teenager or something?

I wasn't even thinking of the Euronymous murder, but yeah, that's... a thing, isn't it.

Yes, but something something statute of limitations

Vikernes went to jail for something like fifteen years. He just kept making albums in prison, because Sweden takes the whole rehabilitation thing very seriously.

Yeah, Jimmy Page did kidnap a teenager, so yeah, he's sketchy as all get out.
I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
Sometimes I feel guilty about Quick Draw McGraw because of Baba Looey, though the only legit problematic thing I can think of is his faux-Spanish swearing which he doesn't do very often
also some Native American stereotypes that show up from time to time
I think it's the general consensus that being a good or great artist does not render you immune to being a creeper or doing really lousy, horrible things.
also Led Zeppelin were themselves highly derivative of other acts (mostly black blues musicians).
even if you're a huge classic rock fan there are better bands.
I find that a somewhat unconvincing argument. Their later stuff is surely progressively less interesting, and occasionally execrable, but by the same token they used their influences as a springboard rather than a crutch and went some fairly interesting places with them.
Also, "classic rock" is a ridiculously vague term.

I have never been impressed by any of Led Zeppelin's music I've heard.
Whether that's them being overly derivative or later bands being overly derivative of them is hard for me to say as somebody who's largely outside that context, but I certainly don't care for Zeppelin as anything other than materials (the Levee Break is famous, of course).

I'm fine with you not liking them. I just think that your attitude is kind of condescending.

I'm sorry, I don't really mean it.
Anyway, I like some bands that are in vaguely similar genres, and even a couple "classic rock" bands too (The Doors for instance), I am not as resoundingly anti-guitar as I sometimes say I am, just mostly so.

Like Rob McElhenney is no one's "fave," for one thing, and also
have you ever seen It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
for one thing, even the utterly contemptible main characters realize how horrible it is that the guy wore blackface

Sorry. The concept behind it and its popularity really, really bother me.
Edit: Aaaaaaaaaaand Ninja'd.

he went to jail.
Either way, he went to jail for the murder and the arsons.
but Led Zeppelin are awesome so nobody cares
Zeppelin rules, yo!
Pretend real hard.

But I can think of very few bands I would even consider near their level.
Metallica exist, I don't think I've ever listened to their music at length.
Metallica are dicks but their early albums almost justify them being so.
