Re: The OFFICIAL Led Zeppelin Thread
Even though I've been listening to Led Zeppelin's recordings over the radio and elsewhere since I was probably five years old, thanks to my Dad, it seems like the older I get, the more I appreciate what Jimmy Page was doing all those years ago. Seriously. I heard this stuff in the 80s when everyone was copying him, or musicians like him. When I got older and got exposed to more of the music that was new then, LZ was revolutionary by comparison, pure and simple. Whether we want to talk about skill, technique, creativeness or his abilities as a composer, Jimmy Page was ahead of his time, period. Again, as a kid, I took these guys for granted--because by the time I was seeing their work, everyone had already taken their look, taken Robert Plants vocal style and lyrical approach... John Bonham's technique. But they were definitely among the first and everytime I listen their records, I end up hearing something new about them that makes me go, "whoa, these guys were geniuses."
I've never been able to really take the grand tour of all their work; the boxed sets I've come across are easily more than $100 but some day, I'm gonna get myself an LZ collection. The fantastic part about their legacy to me is how the critics totally hated these guys. I notice that whether it's the 70s, the 80s or really any decade, it seems like all the critics like is whatever processed, bland, dull calibration tones the record labels try to market as music. The same holds true today. There ARE new records being made that I like, but nobody writing on Facebook, Twitter, in blogs or in music magazines seems to much care for them. And the same thing was the case back then for LZ (a big reason why it is I almost LIKE it when I get a bad review from a music critic).
LZ's influence is so far reaching that you can even hear it in new JAZZ music. There is this new song by a 16 year old Prodigy singer, Nikki Yanofski, called "Sunny Side of the Street" that is brilliant--but kicks off with "Fool in the Rain" for its intro. Now how about that?

i don't know if it has been posted here before.. i tried searching for it, but couldn't find it.
So, in celebration of the lawsuit...presenting a could-not-be-any-more-diffferent 10 minutes of musical madness (aka:Jimmy Page) by Led Zeppelin:

Multi talented,,I will play anything you put in front of me "Jones" nails the synth on this great track.
I think John Paul Jones composed the bulk of this track.

Here's a few clips I found that I thought a lot of you Zep Heads would enjoy.
They're from the album 'Lord Sutch and Heavy Friends', which was recorded in Sept. 69 and released in 1970. It was produced by Jimmy Page, and he co-wrote half the songs on it (As well as playing guitar on the album).
Other musicians include John Bonham, Noel Redding, Nicky Hopkins, plus Jeff Beck played on one track.
Incredibly, this record was voted in a 1998 BBC poll as the worst album of all time!
Here's some songs from it, see if you agree.
Here's the track with Jeff Beck on guitar...you can hear Nicky Hopkins a little on this one too

The 7th studio album released in March 76 a brilliant album IMO but the critics had a party with this one and sales dipped.

Man, I LOVE that song ,Sox.
Presence and Physical Graffiti are my favorite Zepp LP's . The first 7 are so awesome I almost feel like I don't need to even come into this thread and pay homage just because it's so obvious how great they are .

I can only say DKWolf, that I get a massive hit off the music even after all these years. I've been playing their records since I was a kid and listening to my older brothers copies before that. That has to be the sign of a great band when the music still feels fresh after years of play.
