      @@kenttaylor9238 Perhaps you were a little young to remember. But I remember hearing it when I first started listening to rock stations in 1976. I asked my older sisters who it was and without hesitation they said Led Zeppelin. They didn't have any Zep albums nor did their girlfriends (they were all about Chicago, ELO, America, Bread, and Carpenters), but said they loved the song, as much as Stairway (which they also knew from the radio). So they must've been hearing it on the rock stations for the few years prior to that. Then from '76 'til '82 when you first heard it, I remember hearing it frequently and IDing the band for many of my friends who were collecting all the Zep albums, but didn't know it was them because it wasn't on any of the LPs. I actually won quite a few bets on the question. Lol

    "Balling" as a reference for having sex used to be somewhat of a popular term back in the day but I think it had more prevalent usage in England so for the band, they probably assumed it was a common term in the US (which it sort of was back in the day).

    LZ played the blues in almost every song they wrote, just in different styles from around the world - Fool in the Rain is a shuffle beat, The Crunge is an homage to James Brown's funk, Dazed and Confused is a waltz macabre, Kashmir uses Islamic tonalities, Ramble On references Lord of the Rings, Friends has a decided Hindi sound -- and they played with time signatures all the time, really a most creative rock band

      That's a bigtime exaggeration. They're my favorite band but even I wouldn't say that "nearly every song in their catalog is great". A more realistic breakdown would be:
      *Masterpiece = 10%*
      *Great = 20%*
      *Very Good = 30%*
      *Good = 20%*
      *Fair = 17%*
      *Poor = 3%*

For me, back then, there were only a couple of handfuls of songs I wasn't crazy about. But that still puts the number of "good" songs by them, for me, in the 90's of their 108.

    "Ballin'" is a reference to indiscriminate sex. 😉

    I'm still upset that they didn't include this song on Led Zeppelin III, it would have made the (vinyl) album even more incredible that it already was. I remember the radio station was the only way to hear it (no one could find the 45 single with Immigrant Song on the A side) so I had to tape it onto a blank cassette off my tuner
