LED ZEPPELIN!
-
not if it's the rude things rock stars do
-
Pity - it's quite interesting!
-
i prefer the beatles' catchy/melodic tunes.
-
Then why even post here?
-
Yes, this is the 'other music' forum.

Okay, I'll try a top 10, although I'm not yet comfortable with numbering them. (This is quite the task) I'll "letter" them. A) In The Light B) Bron-Y-Aur Stomp C) The Rain Song D) Ten Years Gone E) Hey, Hey, What Can I Do F) Kashmir G) Your Time Is Gonna Come H) For Your Life I) Royal Orleans J) That's The Way
-
^ Not so keen on 'Stairway To Heaven' then? I think I've probably heard it too many times so I've switched to 'When The Levee Breaks'.
-
Nice selection. Mine would have Stairway, Babe I'm Gonna Leave You, and Thank You.

I think I can do it, though maybe not in order: Stairway to Heaven (okay, this one's at the VERY top) The Rain Song Ramble On Kashmir Over the Hills & Far Away The Battle of Evermore Ten Years Gone In the Light No Quarter Achilles' Last Stand

Well, that's your right - it's just your opinion after all - but the thread's kinda for Zeppelin fans, so if you don't like them, you don't have to complain about it here.

Plus, they do have more than one album . . .
-
Their album is a load of shit. I wonder which one. In my opinion all Led Zeppelin albums are great.

^ Hear hear!

Seconded! If it weren't for Led Zeppelin IV (which is at the VERY top for me), I'd have a hard time deciding which to like best!

Led Zeppelin is a very talented band which released some of the greatest music around.

Sorry to tell you but I totally hate Led Zeppelin Jimi Hendrix I like though. The Beatles music and John and Paul's music and George's for that matter is 100 times better and is the best music ever

- Led Zeppelin By Dave Grohl Heavy metal would not exist without Led Zeppelin, and if it did, it would suck. Led Zeppelin were more than just a band -- they were the perfect combination of the most intense elements: passion and mystery and expertise. It always seemed like Led Zeppelin were searching for something. They weren't content being in one place, and they were always trying something new. They could do anything, and I believe they would have done everything if they hadn't been cut short by John Bonham's death. Zeppelin served as a great escape from a lot of things. There was a fantasy element to everything they did, and it was such a major part of what made them important. Who knows if we'd all be watching Lord of the Rings movies right now if it wasn't for Zeppelin. They were never critically acclaimed in their day, because they were too experimental and they were too fringe. In 1968 and '69, there was some freaky shit going on, but Zeppelin were the freakiest. I consider Jimmy Page freakier than Jimi Hendrix. Hendrix was a genius on fire, whereas Page was a genius possessed. Zeppelin concerts and albums were like exorcisms for them. People had their asses blown out by Hendrix and Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton, but Page took it to a whole new level, and he did it in such a beautifully human and imperfect way. He plays the guitar like an old bluesman on acid. When I listen to Zeppelin bootlegs, his solos can make me laugh or they can make me tear up. Any live version of "Since I Been Loving You" will bring you to tears and fill you with joy all at once. Page doesn't just use his guitar as an instrument. For him, it's like some sort of emotional translator. John Bonham played the drums like someone who didn't know what was going to happen next -- like he was teetering on the edge of a cliff. No one has come close to that since, and I don't think anybody ever will. I think he will forever be the greatest drummer of all time. You have no idea how much he influenced me. I spent years in my bedroom -- literally f**king years -- listening to Bonham's drums and trying to emulate his swing or his behind-the-beat swagger or his speed or power. Not just memorizing what he did on those albums but getting myself into a place where I would have the same instinctual direction as he had. I have John Bonham tattoos all over my body -- on my wrists, my arms, my shoulders. I gave myself one when I was fifteen. It's the three circles that were his insignia on Zeppelin IV and on the front of his kick drum. "Black Dog," from Zeppelin IV, is what Led Zeppelin were all about in their most rocking moments, a perfect example of their true might. It didn't have to be really distorted or really fast, it just had to be Zeppelin and it was really heavy. Then there's Zeppelin's sensitive side -- something people overlook, because we think of them as rock beasts, but Zeppelin III was full of gentle beauty. That was the soundtrack to me dropping out of high school. I listened to it every single day in my VW bug, while I contemplated my direction in life. That album, for whatever reason, saved some light in me that I still have. I heard them for the first time on AM radio in the Seventies, right around the time that "Stairway to Heaven" was so popular. I was six or seven years old, which is when I'd just started discovering music. But it wasn't until I was a teenager that I discovered the first two Zeppelin records, which were handed down to me from the real stoners. We had a lot of those in the suburbs of Virginia, and a lot of muscle cars and keggers and Zeppelin and acid and weed. Somehow they all went hand in hand. To me, Zeppelin were spiritually inspirational. I was going to Catholic school and questioning God, but I believed in Led Zeppelin. I wasn't really buying into this Christianity thing, but I had faith in Led Zeppelin as a spiritual entity. They showed me that human beings could channel this music somehow and that it was coming from somewhere. It wasn't coming from a songbook. It wasn't coming from a producer. It wasn't coming from an instructor. It was coming from somewhere else. I believe Zeppelin will come back and prove themselves to once again be the greatest rock band of all time. It will happen. They'll find someone to play the drums and I'll be right there, front row at every goddamn show. Then I could finally die a happy man.

Heavy metal would not exist if it wasn't for The Beatles Many people have said that Paul's song Helter Skelter from The Beatles 1968 White album was the first true heavy metal/punk rock song Other people have also pointed John's song I Want you She's So Heavy from Abbey Road too.
