Because They Are The Greatest Band To Have Ever Played

I have often thought this without ever considering any other band, any other sound, any other opinion, but Led Zeppelin are the literal and figural gods of rock music.

Here are some tracks, some videos, some times that prove this.

Plant and Page: The Rain Song



There were many days when I would ride my bike around my county, dreaming of towns and cities away from where I grew up and where I had faultered. This song was consistantly in my walkman.



Some live at the Filmore East jams



White Summer / Black Moutainside : Paris 1969



Zeppelin in their infamous Danish TV special.



And some Plant solo action

It Might Get Awesome

I remember spending hours in my room with my janky electric guitar trying to figure out all of Jimmy Page's riffs. The Edge, not so much - though he is a fantastic artist. And as far as Jack White is concerned, he's a mad fucking genius.
