Led Zeppelin fan, you say?

I put together a Led Zeppelin playlist the other day. It came out to around 2 hours of my favorites.
To me, Zeppelin and Deep Purple brought heavy rock music to the forefront. Not as dark as Black Sabbath, more diverse than the Stones, more talented than pretty much every band before them, Zeppelin are a singularity that changed music forever.
Favorite song = Achilles Last Stand
Thoughts?

With my hearing, "music" is just cacophony. With the exception of a few bands of long ago who played actual chords and had real lyrics, CCR among them, I have not voluntarily listened to music in 20 years, but I could make an exception for LZ and a few Country songs.
Love me some CCR, too. Great songwriting. Lyrics that move you. 😊

Grew up in their hay day. They were on top of the world when I was a teenager. I'm not knocking their music or achievements, but just not my thing anymore.
I like anything, up to 1980. After that it all become the same,and not good.
What??? You're not a Duran Duran groupie???? 🤣

Oh lawd,,,
"The day the music died" was more than just a lyric. It was prophecy - and true.
Great band. From that era I put them right there with other English Bands like The Who and Pink Floyd.
I had him figured as a Flock of Seagulls kinda guy.
That would be from the 80s
An underrated Zeppelin song that I've always liked,
just doesn't seem like it should be a Zeppelin song
Six of my buddies were in the Marines in 'Nam. They got out in early 1970. I used to go over to David's apartment, March of 1970, and six NamVets and I would be up until 5am, playing Whole Lotta Love, and drinking Jack Daniels and consuming substances.
Hard to beat Stairway to heaven. Right up there as one of the greatest songs ever written,
Heart does a cover during Led Zep's induction to hall of fame. They knock it out of the park.
I thought they formed in the late 70s
Nope, 80's. Mid
curiosity got the best of me so I had to google it
A Flock of Seagulls are an English new wave band formed in Liverpool in 1979.
Same year Led Zeppelin released In Through the Out Door
Big fan of the early rock-and-roll
Even early bands
If I had to guess I would say early 80's was my limit
Head phones and moving grass or playing on the internet any mire
The days of just driving and cruising town while listing to the radio or tape player yeppre cd days lol sadly have passed
I've long had a liking for great movie/performance soundtracks.......such as Top Gun, Phantom Of The Opera, and Brigadoon.
Lately.......I've been listening to the soundtrack of How The West Was Won (the original movie).....while cruising the GunBroker auctions and forums.
Easy listening.......and then there's also Patsy Cline.😉
Good days indeed. Plenty of summer evenings spent driving slow and blasting AC/DC, Zeppelin, and old Aerosmith.

Three of my absolute favorite Sirius channels I listen to when I’m in the truck. 60’s, 70’s and 80’s
In the world I lived in, they were over played. I mean every radio station, every juke box , every turn table. They just got old for me. Don't get me wrong. They were great at what they did but, like I said, every where all the time.
I enjoyed L Z back in the day but agree with @notnow that many of their hits have been overplayed all through the years. My ears currently seem to favor tunes that the FREE airwaves seem to rarely play.
Moody Blues, ELO, Grand Funk Railroad, Jefferson Airplane, Jimi Hendrix, Cream, Pink Floyd, just to name a few. I know a few of these same groups do have top 10 songs that do air more often, but there is a treasury of great tunes that may have missed the charts and are truly music to my old ears!

Ok. What is this driving slow you speak of Lol
i had two speeds park and flat out
I donated so much money to the courts they should have least named a street after me
OK when I turned 60 or so, yrs old, I did start paying attention to speed limits for the most part even started wearing my seat belt.
But those were the days,
but American grafatie is one of my favorite movies Hits home so many ways
Still a big fan of the debut album Led Zeppelin from 1969, it had many blues based tunes.
Back then, I thought that the guitar solo in Dazed and Confused could not be beat, until I discovered Alvin Lee and Ten Years After and then Jan Ackerman with Focus . . .with those two guys there were alot of notes played very quickly.
Their deal with the devil seems to have paid off for them.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
I’ve always said, that we can say we lived when they had the best music and the best cars, and a buck was a buck, and a joint was a bad place to be in.
