Which version of "Whole Lotta Love" is better?

Oh, god, emoviolence is even worse than I imagined it would be.

For the record "Whole Lotta Love" is one of the worst songs Led Zeppelin ever recorded, and I'm a fan of them generally.  I guess I probably ought to like that they were experimenting with the weirdness of theremin, but it doesn't really mesh with the riff-heavy nature of the rest of the song, and said rest of the song is just a little too inane and dumb (not that a little bit of inanity is a bad thing in the context of Led Zeppelin, but they way overdo it here).

Emoviolence is a pretty extreme example of "acquired taste", I didn't like it at all the first time I heard it either. This kind of makes sense considering it's an offshoot of an offshoot of an offshoot and often makes use of techniques that would simply be considered objectively bad in most mainstream musical genres, such as intentionally playing out of tune or using more distorted recording.

But Orchid is probably one of the most accessible bands of the genre. On the other end of the spectrum you have this.

The main problem is the death-metal-esque vocals, of course.
