105: Led Zeppelin: Overview

Since analogies are usually the easiest way to explain two things which are similar, think of LED ZEPPELIN as the Metallica of the 60s and 70s…kind of.

As Metallica did with so many obscure NWOBHM bands and songs, similarly, LED ZEPPELIN co-opted the sound of their favorite obscure Blues artists to help forge a new, heavier brand of cockrockian sonic bliss never heard before in Rock’n’roll.

Let the “Dogs of Doom” out to play, roll another bowl of Valhalla relaxers to celebrate Ragnarök Eve and JOIN US as we marvel at the legendary proto-metal behemoth comprised of Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones, and John Bonham and known collectively throughout the pantheon of Rock and Metal as LED ZEPPELIN.
