Led Zeppelin

I've listened to Zeppelin 1 and 2 and all of the "Best of" records when I was younger.... but I don't think I truly understood how awesome they are. This album is a game changer for sure. All elements of good rock. This is one of my few exceptions where I will take the sound over the substance in the lyrics. Which frankly, the lyrics aren't that bad.... they're not like Cream bad.
 My favorite song we listened to was definitely "Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You" I had deja vu when listening to it cause I remember my dad playing and singing that song in his own acoustic version of it. Regardless I love that song and Robert Plant's fucking voice.
That dude can whale while Jimmy shreds on the guitar. This band is awesome. The unique thing about Jimmy Pages' style of playing is it's not exactly extrememly complicated, he just finds a way to make a cool sound. He is an inovater. He's completely different from the rest. Hendrix has his divebombs and slides, Van Halen has his tapping, White has his pedal, Stevie has his bluesy rhythm, and Page has his innovative flavor. "Stairway to Heaven" isn't exactly a hard peice to play... it's just so awesome to hear that sound.

My favorite song so far by Zeppelin,
