    They were steeped in The Blues, it was their foundation, but then they pushed the music into a whole other stratosphere. Mixing Blues, Rock, Funk, Folk and progressing with every album, you need to experience a bunch of tracks to get any perspective on their range. Each member of the band was so talented and worked together like a machine, which is clearer when you see live footage. They would extend album tracks into long improvised jams, with vocals and lead guitar trading riffs, the drums and bass a total powerhouse. Best to start with tracks from their debut album and work through songs chronologically, check out 'Dazed and confused' next for a slower swampy track. A lot of their stuff has been sampled and often imitated, but no one has come close to matching these guys.

    • @dbdeg88
      @dbdeg88 Před 10 měsíci +3

      The thing about Led Zeppelin is that they don't fit so neatly into any one genre. The closest summations I can think of would maybe be "blues rock" or "hard rock", the latter of which is general enough to describe at least half of their output, but ignores the many acoustic songs that, in my opinion, are some of the best stuff they did. I'm a sucker for "That's the Way" and "The Rain Song" in particular. As for "blues rock", that's what they started out as and describes most of the stuff on their first album or two and is something they never really gave up completely throughout their time as a band, but as time went on they put out more and more stuff that went completely outside that box. They did quite a bit of folk inspired stuff and even dabbled in funk and reggae.
      They also predate the genre of heavy metal, although were one of its most major influences. They're "proto-metal", as I like to put it. They laid a good deal of the foundation without ever really fitting neatly into that mold themselves. The fact that they have a literal heavy metal in their name probably doesn't help with that confusion.

    A little history lesson. Back in the 60s, there was a band called The Yardbirds, featuring guitarists Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck. When Clapton left, Beck recruited studio musician Jimmy Page. In time, the band broke up, but they still had contractual obligations, so Page called in another studio musician by the name of John Paul Jones to play bass. They rounded out the band with Band of Joy singer Robert Plant, and his drummer, John Bonham, and they went under the name the New Yardbirds. Sometime around 1968, The Who drummer, Keith Moon, made a remark that any band formed by Jimmy Page would go over like a lead balloon, thus the band Led Zeppelin was born.
    Sadly, in 1980, John Bonham died, and Led Zeppelin came to an end. But with it came a new sense of respect for the band, when Robert Plant said that if the remaining members were to continue to tour and record together, they would never do so under the name Led Zeppelin ever again (except special occasions such as Live Aid), because without any member of the original band, it was no longer the same band.

      "like a lead balloon" is an old saying to mean something that's sure to fail, so a lead zeppelin (dirigible) would be an even bigger failure. They varied the spelling to be sure people would pronounce it like lead, the heavy metal, not like "leed" meaning "in front".

They then recruited session bassist John Paul Jones and Band of Joy members Robert Plant and John Bonham to fulfill the contracts under the name The New Yardbirds, which was eventually changed to Led Zeppelin.

    Something you need to know.
    Music from this time has come full circle. In 1940s and 50s US white people didn’t get to listen to black music but the British did. The British bands would listen to the blues. They loved it. They took blues songs and played in rock. The Rolling Stones came to Chicago Chess Records to learn they went back UK made their version then went to US to play.
    The music unites us over time
    Before writing their own songs, they, The Rolling Stones, played mostly blues and rock and roll - artists like Jimmy Reed, Muddy Waters, Bo Diddley and Chuck Berry. The band's name itself comes from a Muddy Waters song called “Rolling Stone”.

    Younger folks today go back and want to reclassify the classic hard rock groups as metal. So yeah….younger people will say that Zeppelin was like the first heavy metal band. But they were not. They were a group that was based first and foremost in American Delta and Chicago blues and rockabilly. All the British rock bands of the 60’s and 70’s (except the progressive rock genre) were steeped in blues. Zeppelins first two albums leaned heavily on blues…and then they brought in folk, funk, psychedelia, even reggae and Middle Eastern sounds. To those who really know their catalogue, they are revered for their diversity of genres, for their immense improvisational skills onstage, their great use of dynamics in their music. Add all that to their talent and skills…each one a master….and their incredible stage presence…..and you have the top hard rock band of the 70’s………who also did beautiful acoustic ballads. 😁
