And thus began the career of the greatest hard rock band there ever was or ever will be.January 12th, 2019 at 10:10 PM ^
Ten Years Gone and The Song Remains the Same are some of LZ great but underrated songs.

Agreed. Zeppelin is amazing. I wish I could have seen them live!

Nowadays I'm not really a fan of it, but for some reason D'yer Mak'er really got me in hike school. No idea why.

It was fall 1969. I was starting tenth grade at Mt. Pleasant HS. We had moved there from St. Clair Shores a year prior & I still had not adjusted or found my niche.
We had just moved to a new house & I struck up a friendship with a kid across the street who was my age. More importantly, he had an older brother who was a senior & was what passed for a hippie in Mt. Pleasant those days.
We were listening to his older brother's albums. I had a pretty decent record collection but it was primarily top 40 45's since I was weaned on WXYZ, WKNR & CKLW from growing up in Metro Detroit.
He recommended three albums which he let me borrow. I took them home & played them nonstop for the next week. Jimi Hendrix Experience Smash Hits, Best of Cream & Led Zeppelin 1. It literally changed my life. I can still put on that album, crank It up & still have my life altered by those opening crashing chords of Good Times Bad Times. Long Live Zep!
