Led Zeppelin - Gods of Rock?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Az-TuYb4h0&feature=related

     Any person who plays drums, guitar, bass, or sings knows about the rock legends that make up Led Zeppelin. Led Zeppelin was one of the most well known bands in the world during their career, and their presence in the history of rock is undeniable.  Hence the name of their 1976 release "Presence". Some of their other well know works include their fourth album nick named " the Four Symbols logo", Houses of the Holy, Physical Graffiti, and Led Zeppelin II.
      My personal favorite albums are Houses of the Holy, and Presence.
Robert Plant-Vocalist
           Robert Plant's howling vocals and the dreamy lyrics written by him and Jimmy Page make a mean formula of godly.
Guitarist- Jimmy Page
    "Jimmy Page" Nuff said.
Drummer- John Bonham
    John Bonham's ankle breaking triplets and solid beats are huge part of Led Zeppelins sound. When he died Led Zeppelin stopped producing albums and touring.

Bass player/mult instrumentalist- John Paul Jones
    John Paul Jones helped polish off some of Led Zeppelin's most popular songs. Such as All of my Love's keyboard solo, and Achilles Last Stand chunky bass line.

     Led Zeppelin had an undeniable effect on music. People have even said that they sold their souls to the devil for fame. I will post my feelings towards that on my next blog.


Stay Classy Franklin Heights.
