Led Zeppelin

By Robert Benson(fonzie1957@charter.net) It was 1972 when he started working at Budget Tapes and Records in Denver. The poppy, rhythm and blues-inspired stylings of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones were giving way to bands such as Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin. The advent of FM radio allowed for longer, higher-quality broadcas...

By ryan Them Crooked Vultures is the new supergroup consisting of Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters and Nirvana (like you didn’t know that), Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age, and John Paul Jones.  Do I really even need to state where he’s from?  It’s John Paul Jones.  Alright, of Led Zeppelin.  I don’t t...

Jones is an interesting case - he's the one member of Led Zeppelin who didn't make questionable career moves post-Zep by, for examples, dying tragically (John Bonham), playing in the Firm (Jimmy Page) or naming an album "Now & Zen" (Robert Plant).

To me, this album represents everything i love in music. Absolutley mindblowing vocals and screams by Robert Plant, fantastic axe work by Jimmy Page, great bass playing by John Paul Jones and mad drumming by Bonham. 5 Stars, one of my favourites. More about LED ZEPPELIN at Progarchives.com

Over The Hills And Far Away' is also a great song, more loved than 'D'yer Maker' even. The one thing about it though is that it shines so much more live in concert (the 'How The West Was Won' concert specifically, and after listening to it live, my interest on the studio release weakens greatly....

And a half stars.In Through The Out Door turned out to be the last Led Zeppelin studio album baring of course Coda which was a posthumous release after the death of drummer John Bonham. It's also their worst having something in common with Houses Of The Holy 6 years previously. Not that it sound...

3.5 stars reallyI was in high school when I heard this record for the first time. I enjoyed Black Dog but my favorite song was Stairway To Heaven. I have to say one thing in here. I usually don't pay attention to what others call a classic and the best. But this time I must admit Stariway To Heaven is de...

Starting off with a grimy hard rock tune is tolerable when it is so good. Oh, yeah, this is a pretty popular album, too! Go figure.And indeed, keeping with the tradition, Black Dog storms the gates, and kicks serious portions of ass. That riff is superb, and the whole song is a classic. Oh, if only...

Bron-Y-Aur Stomp is Led Zeppelin does dueling banjos. It starts off soft and works its way slowly faster and harder until it turns into a good foot stomping tune, with those old time vocals. Not too impressive, but a dab of fun on a rather stuffy album. Sparse and shallow, but fun. Hats of To (Roy)...

The Lemon Song. Another metallic classic. the song thumps along without care for damage done. I am so damn tired of these brutally terrible lyrics, though. Although it grinds heavy, when it wants, and it always wants, baby. That solo is restrained and fine. Plant kind of screws it up for me, howev...

More pretty acoustic work from Black Mountain Slide, acting as almost an introduction of sorts to their very well known punching song Communication Breakdown. This doesn't do it for me, the vocals are great, and it kicks some tail, but not as much as the opening song. Still solid, and that so...

Those who truly aprecciate Led Zeppelin's studio album might give this a check without expectations.It's the kind of album I never take of the sleeve case for a listen,but contains some interesting stuff that would have otherwise been ommited(even presenting a very rewarding tune).

But Led Zeppelin was always a little hit and miss for me. Especially early on, Zeppelin was just as much blues as rock, if not more. You Shook Me and I Can't Quit You Baby tend to bore me. And then there's also Your Time Is Gonna Come... I don't know what that's all about.

By Peromyscus(noreply@blogger.com) Aha! Bass guitar! I am John Paul Jones! I appear to have lost the 20-year friendship of Jimmy Page (how dare I try and write a better book than the bog-awful Hammer Of The Gods), Robert Plant (he'll change his mind when he sees it) and related friends.

By SRP “The Immigrant Song” was typically how Led Zeppelin opened their concerts but, technically, it was not how they started their show. First came the anticipatory drone of all these speakers against a blackened stage -you know, to set the stage. It could last for 2 minutes. And then, Boom! The c...

Each of the ride's three trains has a built-in, 64-speaker, 1,200-watt sound system. While the ride itself only lasts 90 seconds, the "Led Zeppelin - The Ride" experience lasts the entire 5½ minutes of the band's 1969 hit song "Whole Lotta Love."

By Peter Chakerian It’s been over 20 years since mega-producer Frank Farian’s rock lab experiment Far Corporation had their wretched claim to 15 minutes of fame – a cover of Led Zeppelin’s classic “Stairway to Heaven.” With a roster that featured members of the band Toto, few paid any credence to the act and f...

By Lono It was quite puzzling how really accurate they were. I have seen Jimmy Page play, and few on earth can compare.
