A faithful reader of mine asked me to do a piece on Led Zeppelin. Thinking about this amazing artist made it a quick and simple yes I will. I created a playlist of Zeppelins best songs available on iTunes. Because after all, Led Zeppelin wrote and performed one of the greatest songs of all times and an all time favorite of mine as well. It is a magical tune!
Led Zepplelin is a great with a unique and creative nature. Zeppelin’s stayed true to his craft through out his career. This has really kept the music pure and a beast all its own, one living on forever. When you here a Zeppelin tune you feel the truth in it as he puts his self into every song and never wavered to the political or media standards.
Zepplelin is truly an artist who talked the talk and walked the walk remaining constant and present in all his work. Hearing a Led Zeppelin song is like setting down and getting to know this musician.
I know you will enjoy hearing Led Zeppelin again or for the first time. I for one am someone who has always made the effort to learn about and enjoy music from era’s gone past. I’m really glad that I have as I’ve stumbled upon many a great music treasure. I feel 1969 was a really good year for Led finding most of my favorites to have come from this year.
First and foremost is ONE of my all time favorite songs EVER! If you’ve not heard stairway to heaven by Led Zeppelin you’ve not heard music. Coming in at number 1 is Stairway to heaven a must have for every iPod known to man! PERIOD!
Stairway to Heaven, 1975, A magical tune that can not be done justice with my mere words, JUST LISTEN, the video is at the bottom of this page! It’s a long song for good reason! Click the link at the bottom of this list to hear Stairway to Heaven.
Thank You, 1969, The acoustic guitar in this is magical and the support of the piano only adds to it. This is a gentle tune I admire greatly.
Your Time is Gonna Come, 1969, This is a dark song with a strong percussion presence, I love the drums as they beat your soul to awakening.
Heartbreaker, 1969, This is hands down got to be up on the list of rocks greatest riffs. You are going to be amazed.
Ten Years Gone, 1975, This makes me wonder about the times of this era, reflective of the hypnotic state.
Since I’ve Been Loving You, 1970, This is no doubt a white mans version of the blues.
In My Time of Dying, 1975, This song is so different from what I expected having read the title.
Nobody’s Fault but Mine, 1976, More blues with a psychedelic feel, if I could imagine what psychedelic really is as it is so far removed from my era.
Misty Mountain Hop, 1971, This one left me confused, I have no idea what it’s about maybe mental acer can catch me up to speed!
No Quarter, 1973, I have nothing to say about this other than just listen, it seems as if he was making a personal statement, but again not really clear.
What is and What Should Never Be, 1969, This is a vocal before it’s time, when I first heard it I instantly thought rap, I now Zeppelin rapping, well the vocals remind me of it and the riff is insane as if a rocket setting idle and then quickly launching. Listen and find out for yourself.
Okay so there you have it my Zeppelin playlist of favorites you can download onto your iPod and enjoy anywhere anytime.
Peace, Love and Joy, Katie
