I have been a fan of the best rock-n-roll band in the world for the past 39 years. Led Zeppelin is one of the most influential rock bands in the last half-century. Jimmy Page (guitar/producer/founder), Robert Plant (vocalist/harmonica/tambourine), John Paul Jones (bass guitar; key boards and more) and John Bonham (drums/percussion) were in their own right amazing musicians, but when they came together in 1968 first as the New Yardbirds and then as Led Zeppelin, the world of music was never going to be the same.
To listen to Robert Plant’s voice on Led I and then realize he was only 19-years old it blows one’s mind, he could sing with the depth and wisdom of blues artists twice his age. Best of all, Robert is still out there recording 42-years later. Jimmy Page, to me, remains the best guitarist of all time. Jimmy was/is innovative, his producing skills amazing, and his drive for perfection uncompromising. John Paul Jones was/is the consummate professional and can nail a rhythm section to the floor, sensational. Sadly, John Bonham, the world’s greatest rock-n-roll drummer died in 1980. In his short 32 years, he changed how drummers went about the art of drumming, forever.
I have a friend of often quips, 'Wow Kathy that’s a record, it’s been 23-minutes since your arrival before you referenced LZ…' Cute, but who do my friends come too when they want a quick reference on the band? Me. Why? Because I geek Led Zeppelin.
