Acrylic Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 This is the official LucasForums Led Zeppelin thread. I'd like to hear your thoughts on them. They are my favorite band. In the mail today, arrived their Boxed set #2. (I still have yet to recieve Boxed Set #1) Some (or should I say almost all) of the songs on these CD's (2 CD's total) are the more "unpopular" songs, since these are the songs that weren't included in the 1st boxed Set. 32 songs, one which was previously unreleased. The song's title is Baby Come on Home. Its a really good bluesy type song which makes you wanna sing along! I wanna hear what you heard of them and what your favorites are. My favorites are: The Lemon Song Baby Come on Home Night Flight Good Times Bad Times Battle of Evermore Black Dog Rock and Roll Stairway to Heaven Whole Lotta Love Babe I'm Gonna Leave You The Ocean and OH SO MUCH MORE. I personally think all of their songs are great, but I just wanted to name a few... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

txa1265 Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 Do they still play Stairway to Heaven at school dances? I remember swaying like an idiot in a room full of sweaty 9th graders during the fast section of that song, with Plant screeching and Page wailing ... but then, that was 1982 ... They were never one of my fave rock bands, they were fairly solid, but didn't have anything that sparked for me ... but then I was already on my path towards fusion and avante-garde jazz ... besides, back then most of the people who were into them were spacer pot-heads "dude, floyd, sabbath, zepplin ..." A question - if they were already 'classic rock' in 1982 (actually, the term hadn't been coined yet), what are they now? Given that their music now is about the same vintage as Rosemary Clooney and Doris Day were for me in high school ... have they started calling it oldies yet? Or does that offend the middle-aged radio managers too much Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miko Reglia Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 unfortunately i havent heard stairway to heaven at any of my dances, although i did hear you shook me all night long at the last one:D and about the classic rock thing...well...the radio station that plays em a lot has the phrase "Classic rock that rocks" so eh, i guess their Classic Rock still...

Or does that offend the middle-aged radio managers too much Mike Well, they split up in 1980 because their drummer died. They started as a band in 1968 and had their first album out in 1969, so they ARE classic rock, but not at the 1982 era. They did release an album in '82, bt it was a bunch of leftover songs...

Miko Reglia Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 CODA was the name of the album if i am correct:D and poor John Bonham... I think Robert Plant, John Paul Jones, and Jimmy Paige should all go on a small tour or something with John's son on drums...but like Robert's voice is pretty much gone now and stuff...oh well... sometimes i wish i was born in a different time period:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think John Paul Jones is one of the most underrated musicians of all time. He can play like over 10 instruments. And thats AMAZING. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XERXES Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 Originally posted by obi-wan13 I like their Lord of the Rings songs master of the obvious.

Oh, I'm familiar with their history ... it is just that in ~82 they were already part of the dinosaur rock era, later called classic rock. They were still on the radio - and their pre-Coda album got some pop radio airplay. I am just saying that the time between their heyday (early 70's) and now is 30 years ... and for me, as a teenager in ~82, that would equate with music from the early 50's - the pre-rock era. It is just interesting, that's all. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|GG|Carl Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 Led zeppelin is ok, deep purple is better. However, I guess stairway to heaven is pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miko Reglia Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 yeah deep purple and led zeppelin are both very good bands, however it just seems like "smoke on the water" is their only really good song to my ears:( however, although led zeppelin to me is very good, pink floyd in my eyes is a bit better... i mean, they have two of the top selling records of all time, dark side of the moon and the wall, thats at least gotta say something about them:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acrylic Posted January 23, 2004 Author Share Posted January 23, 2004 But Led Zeppelin is one of the four best selling (album wise) bands in America. (As seen on "Greed", a gameshow) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acrylic Posted January 23, 2004 Author Share Posted January 23, 2004 Which Led Zeppelin Song are You? You're Stairway to Heaven! You must ****ing own. People love to be around you, because you're so interesting and mysterious, and make people feel like there's a point to their existence after all. You're intelligent, popular, and very talented. I envy you, dude! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jed Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 Which Song are You?
