The bass track on this is amazing. I can listen to any one aspect of this band on it's own bass, drums, guitar, vocals, keyboards, and be happy. All of it together makes the greatest rock sound ever.
Page and John Paul Jones knew each other well at this point, they were two of the top session players in London, and had been for a few years. They played on many British hits together, and Jones was often the arranger on those sessions as well, so you’re not wrong, Jones was absolutely Zeppelin’s secret weapon - he plays most of the keyboards on the Zeppelin albums, and arranges the strings and orchestral parts, and wrote some of the iconic riffs to boot. His feel is part of why Bonham is so celebrated, he locks in with Bonham in an almost supernatural way. I had the distinct pleasure of seeing Jones play with Dave Grohl, and you could see how utterly thrilled Grohl was, because Jones made him sound incredible on the drums, better than he actually is, which I don’t say lightly. Oh, and, if you haven’t seen Andre 3000 play Jimi Hendrix in All Is By My Side, you absolutely must, it’s one of the best music biopics imo, written and directed by the guy who wrote 12 Years a Slave. Andre is incredible in it, he really captures Hendrix’s essence.
They all say the same thing. Each band member says that the very first time they actually played together ..they started playing an old Yardbirds jam..Train Kept a Rollin' and after five seconds they all stopped...and each one was astonished ..scared a little ...amazed . At their sound together Bass Keyboard artist Jones and Drummer Bonham are the most incredible foundations for this juggernaught
Nailed it, Bruv!! Awesome reaction, I just smashed that subscribe button. One note if it hasn't been mentioned before, all that sick bass drum work that Bonham is firing off was from a single pedal, his Ludwig Speedking! Just ridiculous.
I’ve watching a lot of younger people reacting to Led Zeppelin lately and you’re the first one to pickup on the connection between Bonham and Page. You’re also the first one to notice John Paul Jones’ talent. You’re doing a great job.
My first big rock concert was Jimmy Page and the Yardbirds during their last tour. They did some of Led Zep I including, 'Dazed and Confused' and 'How Many More Times.' It was blisteringly loud and crazily exciting. When Led Zep I came out, we were staggered.
John Bonham and Robert Plant were barely 20 when this album was recorded. John Paul Jones and Jimmy Page, who were not much older, already had careers as in-demand session musicians in London behind them. Page had also been part of The Yardbirds, an influential 60's band. The 4 of them joined together was magic. The members have said the first time they rehearsed together - they knew instantly it was something very powerful. And it still is. Thank you for the thoughtful reaction. ☮
First time I saw them, stage is dark with all the little amp lights glowing, they walk on in the dark and hit "Good Times, Bad Times" full blast at lights come on, on the first drum beats Awesome!!!!
I was in my late teens when this album exploded like an atomic bomb on the music scene. This is the 1st song of the 1st album. Nobody had done anything even close to it before. Nobody has done anything close to it since. Led Zeppelin has it's music influences, but the band is in it's own genre, alone, at the top forever.
Just a little fun fact, while everyone who was anyone was trying to get into and play Woodstock in August of 1969 Led Zeppelin opted out. Their manager decided against it after Zeppelin played a number of festivals during that summer. Instead they played a small, 2,000 seat, venue on the boardwalk in Asbury Park, New Jersey called Convention Hall for a couple of nights that weekend.
Don't know if anyone's mentioned her yet but there's an amazing female drummer from Japan whose name is Yoyoka. One of her earliest videos on YT is her incredible cover of Good Times Bad Times, triplets, cowbell, and everything, when she was only 8 years old! Even Plante complimented her when he first heard it. Loving your reactions!
This album came out when I was in college and every time I put it on the turntable guys would come from up and down the hall to my room to listen to every track. No one (including me) had ever heard anything like Led Zeppelin and we were hooked for life.
It's so cool that you like them too. I' vs been into them since my college days since 1969. I really appreciate the musical expertise of your analysis. An old hippy.
This was our introduction to Zeppelin. The drums with those bass drum triplets just slayed. You can understand why they became a sensation on their first tour.
Yup, John Paul Jones is the quiet guy of the band, he like Jimmy page cut his teeth as a session man where you had to learn fast, and be top notch and versatile. He would often cross paths with Page at recording studios in the 60's, during the pre-Zepp days. Jones also has great arranging and producing skills, and he plays keyboards as well as bass guitar. A real asset to Zeppelin as they progressed into wider areas of music outside of their staple blues/ rock foundations.
Read this: To quote from the special edition Guitar Legends Feb. of 2004, "To be fair, Led Zeppelin's greatness is genuinely complex. Like a Japanese puzzle box whose mysterious contents are revealed only after one acquires a deep knowledge of how each piece works together, the group defies easy analysis." This my seem a bit floral or snobby, but it really sums it up. I would listen to all in sequence, and have some companion books like Hammer of the Gods (I've read SEVERAL TIMES) to give you context and the sequence of underlying events.
I can go on and on with recommendations for led zepp but ,foru,I think ,"in my time of dying ." Reaction from u would truly bring so many things for u to say . Funking crazy
In the first verse, listen carefully to the drums. Bonham is using the foot pedals to create those very low tone drum rolls. I am not versed in the phrase for it but a drummer friend of mine says this is such a crazy sound that he creates!!
Love your reaction style. Will sub with the hope that you continue on with regular reactions to LZ. I recommend continuing on with album 1 and going right through their catalogue in order, studio versions first, then live if you can find good video. Best rock band ever, and for a lot of reasons. Rock on! :)
You hit the nail on the head with their chemistry. And it's interesting how they all formed. I believe Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones found Robert Plant and he turned them onto John Bonham and it just worked! Bonham is a big reason why I started playing drums. Keith Moon of the Who, and Neil Pert of Rush as well, but Bonham to be sure. One thing about this band that I always found amazing. On almost every song they've ever recorded, you could tell it was Zeppelin from the first measure, but no two songs sound the same. Not even close really.
Jimmy Page wrote most of the lyrics on the first album, Plant only really got started writing on their second album. In my opinion John Paul Jones' bass lines on Led Zeppelin II are his best, especially on the blues laden "The Lemon Song". Alternately, if you would like to hear a top notch band with more up front bass, perhaps check out Yes. Songs like Roundabout, Yours Is No Disgrace, and Heart Of The Sunrise, are good introductory songs from that prog-rock enigma.
Actually, Page didn't write all the lyrics on the first album. Plant, for contractual reasons, could not be named as a writer on the first album because the band would've got stiffed by the record label he was signed to and got out of when he joined Zep. Page spoke about it briefly in an interview a couple of years ago. He got credit years later though.
@@jakeenan Plant's CBS contract turned out to be moot in the long run. My point was Plant didn't actually "write" anything original on LZ. Aside from rearranging already established lyrics from already previously established songs. Plant was always dropping in lyrics from other songs in their live performances. Scattering your set with someone else's lines, verses, or tongue in cheek alterations of said lyrics, doesn't constitute "writing", IMHO. Even though Page is guilty of this as well, he actually tried to change/update his parts to what he wanted LZ to sound like. As we all know Plant's first "real" song writing contribution came on LZ2 with WIASNB, and Thank You.
John Paul Jones, I think, is revered as a prodigy. He plays all kinds of instruments. He does arrangements for orchestras and a lot of different things at expert level genius level..
You gotta listen to Kashmir. It puts you in a trance. These guys were prolific in writing top tier songs in the 11 years they were around and I could probably say they had maybe 2 bad songs... tops.
I remember wearing this album out and I got to see them live back in 1970 when I was 16. Dazed and Confused and You Shook Me are two I would suggest. Also, I have mentioned Rush to you Neil Peart from Rush along with John Bonham are two of the best drummers in rock. Rush were also inspired by Zeppelin when they first started out then went more Prog. I suggested some songs before but here are two more. Bastille Day and Tom Sawyer. Rush and Led Zeppelin are my two favourite bands. Cheers Cheers
Hey Syed ! Just found your channel and subscribed. The ancient Greeks popularized, "The 7 Wonders of the World." If I was to write a list of 7 wonders of modern music, Zeppelin One would be at the top. It is said they took less than 40 hours of studio time (over a few weeks), to record it. Hello from Connecticut U.S.A.
Zeppelin was brilliant and epic most of the time… You need to check out Yes. Another key Prog Daddy….. musicianship on an even other level “Roundabout” for a sample start…”Close to the Edge” for a true paradigm bender… Your ability to sense out emotion and intent of the music you’re reacting to is admirable !!! Got a million other recommendations….alas …only so much time….Thanks for your efforts!!!
But David - It's really only the first TWO beats of triplets on Bonham's kick drum: Boom-boom... boom-boom... boom-boom-BAH - a snare hit completes the triplet! Bonzo had OTHERWORLDLY tone, power, and talent! I think it's STUNNING that TWO unknowns like Robert Plant and John Bonham were laboring along in relative obscurity and that two LONG-ESTABLISHED first-call London studio musicians like JP and JPJ were creative and resourceful enough to FIND them!!! And the rest, as they say, is HISTORY!!!
thanks for your invitation to listen to hip-hop and rap personally it makes me physically ill. I don't even classify it as music. I'll just keep listening to Led Zeppelin, thank you..
These are some profound insights that only took you a couple songs to realize. Keep the rock reactions coming! You should check out Zeppelin's live performances. They were masters in the studio but an even bigger beast live. Filmed live performance suggestions - How Many More Times 1969 Stairway to Heaven live at MSG 1973 In My Time of Dying live at Earls Court 1975 Kashmir live at Knebworth 1979
Jimmy Page in John Paul Jones were seasons session musicians on so many songs in the 60s Jimmy Page was part of the Yardbirds at one stage so they were seasoned and ready to go
Interesting comparison! Bombs over Bagdad got quite a bit of airplay on the radio station 99X in Atlanta, (the home of Outkast as I am sure you know ;) ) 99X was an alternative station, that played some Outkast and Eminem as well.
plenty of great songs by them Tangerine' Immigrant Song” Kashmir” Ramble On Over The Hills And Far Away When The Levee Breaks houses of the holy trivia their name comes from the whos drummer who said they would go over in America like a lead balloon.
The whole band is amazing. Robert Plant is easily considered one of the top two or three rock n roll voices & has had an amazing post Zeppelin career, Jimmy Paige was a top notch studio guitarist before starting Led Zepplin, John Bonham, the best of his era and John Paul Jone was really under rated.
I see Led Zeppelin, I like and subscribe. John Paul Jones doesnt get enough credit tbh. But you liking Bonzo's drumming this much, i can't wait to hear you react to Kashmir, Moby Dick, In My Time of Dying, Fool in the Rain, Achilles Last Stand etc. You will really going to blow your top off. Cant wait for the next reacting :D
Yes they knew they had lightning in a bottle when they first played together. All members are very good musicians. For their best performance in my opinion it has to be Dazed and Confused live at Madison Square Garden in 1973. This piece is many years old by this point. Apparently first played by Jimmy in its infancy when he was a teenager. Its 28 mins of music I have seen bo other band even come close to matching. The nearest I feel is Rush with a song called 2112. Their drummer, a man called Neil Pert who passed away sadly recently is also on the same level as Bonham. Rush are amazing too I highly recommend them. Along with and in no particular order are The Who, Qeen, AC-DC, Pink Floyd of course can't forget them. And if you want to try bands from Britain from the 90s which is when I got into music who are also first class musically I reccomend The Stone Roses, Blur, Oasis, Ocean Colour Scene and The Charlatans. Welcome to the club my friend enjoy yourself.
If you like John as a drummer, then you should try some prog rock from Porcupine Tree in particular Hatesong, you can show one of the live recordings from this as others have done either Tilberg or Chicago. This band are awesome, the musicioanship is at the highest level and I am sure this is a rabbit hole you will enjoy going down.
So I listened to bombs over baghdad n tbh I wasn't expecting much but after a the minute or 2 mark I actually kinda got into not bad at all. Try react to You Shook Me. Again from the first album it is EXTREMELY bluesy, if u want a little more rock bluesy type thing tho listen to The Lemom Song, have a great day mate!
I am subbed. The lack of constantly interjecting throughout the song is much appreciated this time. I understand that you need to cut in to give your reaction though. You might as well go right down the line of songs on the album and then go to the next and you will see an increase in your viewership for sure. another great band for your channel might be Pink Floyd. Just Saying.
Okay. Just had a listen to Outkast and Bombs over Bagdad. I like it. Hip hop not really my thing, but good is good and BOB seems to combine elements of many things to produce a hypnotically engaging piece. I have heard Hey ya of course which was very catchy. I enjoyed that a lot. BOB a great suggestion. Thanks very much. On the subject of Good times bad times: have you heard Yoyoka, the Japanese girl who played the drum part at the age of EIGHT years old! She was amazing. A radio station played it for Robert Plant to react to. He loved it. She's 12 now and an outstanding drummer. World class musicians are lining up to collaborate with her. She recently covered Good times again with mussos from around the world for the David Z foundation (they raise money for music education scholarships). Here's a link to that performance. ua-cam.com/video/0b5hdiOjupo/v-deo.html
Love Led Zep. That said. Early on. This album for sure. The lyrics are not theirs / originals. They reworked old blues tunes. From the 20s, 30s, & early 40s.
Led Zeppelin is the greatest rock band of all time, imo. And your initial reaction sort of, kind of, covers it. So much power right out of the gate. But it's not really THAT. What it is, imo, is this. You can classify Led Zeppelin as a Blues Rock/Hard Rock/Folk Rock band first and foremost. it's a unique combination. Secondly, they perfected their own formula IMMEDIATELY. Like, before even recording. They perfected it. Which is why they put out 8 consistent albums over the course of a decade.
thanks for the great reaction. I think you would like "Helter Skelter" by the Beatles. Or "Tomorrow Never Knows". Or "And Your Bird Can Sing". I'm off to listen to your Outkast suggestion.
Keep doing the entire catalog in order 1 song daily and I will follow along with thousands of others. Guaranteed to grow your channel because your reactions seem authentic.
Thanks for the kind words mate, would love to keep making zeppelin reactions the music is just so good!
@@SyedRewinds 👍
i second this
👆🏻
I'm there too✌🏼
Plant and Bonham were 19 years old when this was recorded. Page and Jones were very experienced studio musicians at this point.
20
Each member of the band are the best at what they do. They were unique and masterful from the beginning. So much more greatness to come.
I've heard a lot about led zeppelin but never thought to listen. Thanks for introducing me to new music!
No problem!
song 1 side 1 album 1 WELCOME TO LED ZEPPELIN!!! they EXPLODED right out of the gate
Definitely one of the better reactors on You Tube. Great, unique analysis of a great, unique song and band! Keep up the great work!
The bass track on this is amazing. I can listen to any one aspect of this band on it's own bass, drums, guitar, vocals, keyboards, and be happy. All of it together makes the greatest rock sound ever.
The bass is just so good on this song
I subscribed after watching your When the Levee Breaks reaction. I hope you keep doing Led Zeppelin. I'll watch them all.
Same here!
Page and John Paul Jones knew each other well at this point, they were two of the top session players in London, and had been for a few years. They played on many British hits together, and Jones was often the arranger on those sessions as well, so you’re not wrong, Jones was absolutely Zeppelin’s secret weapon - he plays most of the keyboards on the Zeppelin albums, and arranges the strings and orchestral parts, and wrote some of the iconic riffs to boot. His feel is part of why Bonham is so celebrated, he locks in with Bonham in an almost supernatural way.

Keep doing Zeppelin, I just subscribed.
Simply Great!! The whole band!!
This Album BLEW EVERYONE AWAY when it rolled out in '69! EVERY song was instantly a classic! Keep them coming!😀
Exactly, we had heard nothing like this before and the quality of every song was fantastic!
It’s not just that they were professional level musicians, but they all had that “it factor” that differentiates a great player from a great musician.
This band was like the Police... the perfect separate pieces (great vocals, guitar, bass, drums) coming together as a whole. Bonzo owned this song.
This band was pure genius from the start ❤
Gotta love those "triplets" on this song.
Nailed it, Bruv!! Awesome reaction, I just smashed that subscribe button. One note if it hasn't been mentioned before, all that sick bass drum work that Bonham is firing off was from a single pedal, his Ludwig Speedking! Just ridiculous.
This man had a machine gun foot stomp!
I’ve watching a lot of younger people reacting to Led Zeppelin lately and you’re the first one to pickup on the connection between Bonham and Page. You’re also the first one to notice John Paul Jones’ talent. You’re doing a great job.
My first big rock concert was Jimmy Page and the Yardbirds during their last tour. They did some of Led Zep I including, 'Dazed and Confused' and 'How Many More Times.' It was blisteringly loud and crazily exciting. When Led Zep I came out, we were staggered.

First time I saw them, stage is dark with all the little amp lights glowing, they walk on in the dark and hit "Good Times, Bad Times" full blast at lights come on, on the first drum beats Awesome!!!!

What an incredible opener for a new album and a new band!! This is an announcement of intent lol
Just a little fun fact, while everyone who was anyone was trying to get into and play Woodstock in August of 1969 Led Zeppelin opted out.

You seem to know you're stuff mate. Keep going with Led Zeppelin and you'll be blown away. Nothing else comes close.
Oh hell yes! Great reaction again! Keep it coming sir - I am subscribed- I need to go to the patron next - bring it!!!
You should check out their song “Kashmir” next, it’s one of their best!
the original recording of THE BONHAM TRIPLET
At their VERY first rehearsal, the FIRST song, they realized they really really had something.
Subscribed after your Zep listen. Appreciating your point of view on their 'real' music
This album came out when I was in college and every time I put it on the turntable guys would come from up and down the hall to my room to listen to every track. No one (including me) had ever heard anything like Led Zeppelin and we were hooked for life.

Zeppelin didn't do evolution, they were a finished product on arrival.
dude...70 years old here and I'm loving it that you are experiencing Zep with the same emotional reaction as I did back in the day (and still do!)
Hey what's up Thomas! Thanks for the comment , its awesome we can connect over this music its honestly so cool to me. Have a great day mate!
Catch the triplets on the single pedal bass drum.

Another great video, your reactions are genuine, love seeing the passion you show and all in one take aswell. 1 mil subs soon keep it up 👏👏
Jimmy Page, man. Pure genius.
What we all are forgoting is that both Plant n Bohnam were just a 20 yr olds when this song is recorded. Just imagine the talent of them...
B.O.B.!!!! Nice! Outkast is FIRE! Love your breakdowns. I'm going back through older videos.
Thanks for doing this. I'm lovin' it.
I can go on and on with recommendations for led zepp but ,foru,I think ,"in my time of dying ." Reaction from u would truly bring so many things for u to say . Funking crazy
Another banger! I love watching these reactions after I get out of work. Keep it up bro
Haha thanks man glad you're enjoying em

Guitar solo played thru a Leslie speaker (rotating "tweeter").. commonly used with organ.
Im up for the ride! Lets rock!

From the beginning...atta boy...they never sold singles.
Agree with the others... experience them chronologically...
Don't listen to much hip hop but just listened to Bombs over Baghdad, sounds good.
You should see Jimmy play on Dazed and Confused live .
It was amazing what Jimmy Page did to create a band out of the defunct Yardbirds that changed the history of rock forever. Hats off to him. 👍🏻
I agree with your take on J.P.J. bassists (other than Cliff Burton) usually don’t get the love!
Signature Bonham triplets :-)
But David - It's really only the first TWO beats of triplets on Bonham's kick drum: Boom-boom... boom-boom... boom-boom-BAH - a snare hit completes the triplet! Bonzo had OTHERWORLDLY tone, power, and talent! I think it's STUNNING that TWO unknowns like Robert Plant and John Bonham were laboring along in relative obscurity and that two LONG-ESTABLISHED first-call London studio musicians like JP and JPJ were creative and resourceful enough to FIND them!!! And the rest, as they say, is HISTORY!!!
I love your reviews - so thoughtful and intelligent and honest. I'd highly recommend Dazed and Confused from the same album.
Not bad for their first song
thanks for your invitation to listen to hip-hop and rap personally it makes me physically ill. I don't even classify it as music. I'll just keep listening to Led Zeppelin, thank you..
The greatest movie trailer of all time imo is American Hustle and this song is one of the reasons. Check it out if you have not already
the double drum kick
These are some profound insights that only took you a couple songs to realize. Keep the rock reactions coming! You should check out Zeppelin's live performances. They were masters in the studio but an even bigger beast live.
Filmed live performance suggestions -
How Many More Times 1969
Stairway to Heaven live at MSG 1973
In My Time of Dying live at Earls Court 1975
Kashmir live at Knebworth 1979
Jimmy Page in John Paul Jones were seasons session musicians on so many songs in the 60s Jimmy Page was part of the Yardbirds at one stage so they were seasoned and ready to go
Interesting comparison! Bombs over Bagdad got quite a bit of airplay on the radio station 99X in Atlanta, (the home of Outkast as I am sure you know ;) ) 99X was an alternative station, that played some Outkast and Eminem as well.
plenty of great songs by them
Tangerine'
Immigrant Song”
Kashmir”
Ramble On
Over The Hills And Far Away
When The Levee Breaks
houses of the holy
trivia their name comes from the whos drummer who said they would go over in America like a lead balloon.
The whole band is amazing. Robert Plant is easily considered one of the top two or three rock n roll voices & has had an amazing post Zeppelin career, Jimmy Paige was a top notch studio guitarist before starting Led Zepplin, John Bonham, the best of his era and John Paul Jone was really under rated.
No, their master piece to me is "In Through The Out Door" the last album they did as a band. 7 songs and all are different aspects of music.
I see Led Zeppelin, I like and subscribe.
John Paul Jones doesnt get enough credit tbh. But you liking Bonzo's drumming this much, i can't wait to hear you react to Kashmir, Moby Dick, In My Time of Dying, Fool in the Rain, Achilles Last Stand etc. You will really going to blow your top off.
Cant wait for the next reacting :D
Yes they knew they had lightning in a bottle when they first played together. All members are very good musicians. For their best performance in my opinion it has to be Dazed and Confused live at Madison Square Garden in 1973. This piece is many years old by this point. Apparently first played by Jimmy in its infancy when he was a teenager. Its 28 mins of music I have seen bo other band even come close to matching. The nearest I feel is Rush with a song called 2112. Their drummer, a man called Neil Pert who passed away sadly recently is also on the same level as Bonham. Rush are amazing too I highly recommend them. Along with and in no particular order are The Who, Qeen, AC-DC, Pink Floyd of course can't forget them. And if you want to try bands from Britain from the 90s which is when I got into music who are also first class musically I reccomend The Stone Roses, Blur, Oasis, Ocean Colour Scene and The Charlatans. Welcome to the club my friend enjoy yourself.
Since Ive Been Loving You next…
If you like John as a drummer, then you should try some prog rock from Porcupine Tree in particular Hatesong, you can show one of the live recordings from this as others have done either Tilberg or Chicago. This band are awesome, the musicioanship is at the highest level and I am sure this is a rabbit hole you will enjoy going down.
Love your analyses. Check out Kashmir, the song they considered to be their best.
So I listened to bombs over baghdad n tbh I wasn't expecting much but after a the minute or 2 mark I actually kinda got into not bad at all.
Try react to You Shook Me. Again from the first album it is EXTREMELY bluesy, if u want a little more rock bluesy type thing tho listen to The Lemom Song, have a great day mate!
You have great comments
check out Frank Marino "Ain't Dead Yet
You need to catch up young man, I was listening to this 50 years ago.
You should react to "rock and roll" by the same band.
I am subbed. The lack of constantly interjecting throughout the song is much appreciated this time. I understand that you need to cut in to give your reaction though. You might as well go right down the line of songs on the album and then go to the next and you will see an increase in your viewership for sure. another great band for your channel might be Pink Floyd. Just Saying.
I subscribed.😁
Great reaction, Do some Rush! Spirit of Radio, Tom Sawyer, or if you have time the epic 2112
Added to the list my man!
Okay. Just had a listen to Outkast and Bombs over Bagdad. I like it. Hip hop not really my thing, but good is good and BOB seems to combine elements of many things to produce a hypnotically engaging piece. I have heard Hey ya of course which was very catchy. I enjoyed that a lot. BOB a great suggestion. Thanks very much.
On the subject of Good times bad times: have you heard Yoyoka, the Japanese girl who played the drum part at the age of EIGHT years old! She was amazing. A radio station played it for Robert Plant to react to. He loved it. She's 12 now and an outstanding drummer. World class musicians are lining up to collaborate with her. She recently covered Good times again with mussos from around the world for the David Z foundation (they raise money for music education scholarships).
Here's a link to that performance. ua-cam.com/video/0b5hdiOjupo/v-deo.html
Love Led Zep. That said. Early on. This album for sure. The lyrics are not theirs / originals. They reworked old blues tunes. From the 20s, 30s, & early 40s.
John Paul Jones can play anything.... and, produce
Them Crooked Vultures …
Led Zeppelin is the greatest rock band of all time, imo. And your initial reaction sort of, kind of, covers it. So much power right out of the gate.
But it's not really THAT. What it is, imo, is this. You can classify Led Zeppelin as a Blues Rock/Hard Rock/Folk Rock band first and foremost. it's a unique combination.
Secondly, they perfected their own formula IMMEDIATELY. Like, before even recording. They perfected it. Which is why they put out 8 consistent albums over the course of a decade.
Plant was 19.
listen to CAMUNICATION BREAK DOWN LED ZEP
thanks for the great reaction. I think you would like "Helter Skelter" by the Beatles. Or "Tomorrow Never Knows". Or "And Your Bird Can Sing". I'm off to listen to your Outkast suggestion.
