Led Zeppelin (Official Thread)

[TheYoungMan]

I don't know if this happens to many other people, but I like very much their first album, Led Zeppelin I. Their version of 'I can't quit you babe' or 'you shook me'..., 'How many more times' it's amazing! I like 'Black Mountain Side' too.

Obviously I like other albums of Led Zep, the second one is great too, and the fourth one have some masterpieces! But with the first one, I don't know, I hace a special feeling.

Not just ALL Zep...

Man, led zeppelin is so cool. In a way that doesn't feel forced, like with ac/dc and kiss.

I happen to like both AC/DC and KISS. Both are fun to listen to. Each band has a fanbase that is loyal and are a large number.

So You Ask Me What's New? Oh This is a Good One...

YES, this is rock legend, Robert Plant from Led Zeppelin!

He and very talented musician partner Patty Griffin stayed with us at The Pomegranate Inn over Christmas. Patty is from Maine and they visited some of her family while here. She has a beautiful voice and has written countless songs for various artists, more than I realized. And Led Zeppelin was just honored at the 35 Annual Kennedy Center Honors! And I just kept thinking and they're staying with us? Surreal...

Having grown up listening to Led Zeppelin: picture me, about 12 years old, sitting in front of my stereo (possibly 8 track, but might have just moved to vinyl) in the rec room with giant headphones on, top volume, listening over and over again to all of my favorite songs on all of their albums. My parents had to flicker the light for me to turn the volume down to talk to me! This was my daily after school ritual. So naturally, I was thrilled when my husband realized who he was (I would have if given more time but he was on that in no time!) What a nice couple too; he had some funny commentary as I'm sure you're not surprised. I asked Robert to sign my chef coat - I wrote on the sleeve: "I cooked for rock legend Robert Plant!" He added the "very well" and "thanks Dana" and signed beneath.

I asked Robert this morning as they were checking out if I could disclose that they stayed here. Graciously he said "of course!". We snapped a picture and they were on their way.

The right place at the right time...

aw crap, hope I didn't create a flame war here, any way. I just think they seem cool in a more genuine way than the '80s glam rock. three different styles.

I'm not dissing the music of ac/dc/kiss though

Hide for cover young man

My enjoyment of Kiss was never forced. But then, I started liking them in 74 or 75 when they were still very much a gritty rock band literally from the streets.

AC/DC took me a lot longer to get into because when I first really heard them I was into stuff like Rush and Maiden. They seemed a little amateurish by comparison. I always liked songs like Whole Lotta Rosie but it took being in a few bands playing their stuff for me to really get into them.

I like them quite a bit now (well, the Bon Scott stuff anyway) and it's never felt forced.
