No Quarter transports me to a different place in a way that few other songs can do. I love the mood of that song so much.
Spent some quality time with Physical Graffiti in the car and damn is it good. "Trampled Underfoot" is still thrilling in how totally unexpected it is from them, even this many spins in.
I always remember "All of My Love" as a kinda mushy ballad, and then I hear it again and realize I'm a moron and it has some of John's best drums and some of the most tasteful Page licks in their catalog.
I've never actively listened to Led Zeppelin before in my life (I'm 32), and yet finally now, thanks to Spotify, I'm taking the plunge into their entire catalog. Let's see how this goes!
You should watch The Song Remains the Same at some point as well. Seeing them in their element on stage cements their legendary status and gives you a deeper appreciation for what they brought to music.
I've always been a bit of a heretic in that I don't think the debut holds a candle to the next 5 albums that followed it. And honestly there are days where I don't even know how I feel about including II in that run.
Yeah it's either III or IV for me. Last few albums are kinda s*** Also, tried going through Pink Floyd as well, but couldn't do it; just too out there for my ears.
I still haven’t taken the plunge into early Floyd, but Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You Were Here are great.
This a great song written by Steve Vai as a tribute to Jimi Hendrix. Do the last 15 seconds or so remind anyone of the ending of a particular song?
If you guys want a modern-day blues rock band inspired by Zeppelin while still bringing their own creativity and style, listen to Rival Sons. Their new album “Feral Roots” is genuinely a blast.
