FYMS * How is this possible..

It is with great shame that I admit this....but it has taken me 25 years to listen to a Led Zeppelin album. For some reason, I thought I didn't/wouldn't like them. Who knows why. After watching that documentary "It Might Get Loud" featuring Jimmy Page, I felt it was getting a bit ridiculous that I hadn't really given them a proper introduction to my musicsoul, who I must say, has now reached a more mature age ever since moving to Chicago.  Obviously I had to stay true to my first album theory, so I started at the beginning with their 1969 self-titled debut album.

UM. Harmonica solo in "You Shook Me". "Dazed and Confused". Guitar solo in "Communication Breakdown". "I Can't Quit You Baby". I think I've found out what year my musicsoul was born.

What the hell have I been doing with my life?


"You Shook Me"

English rock band Led Zeppelin recorded "You Shook Me" for their 1969 debut album Led Zeppelin. It has been described as "a heavy, pummeling bit of post-psychedelic blues-rock, with healthy doses of vocal histrionics from Robert Plant and guitar fireworks from Jimmy Page".

"Dazed & Confused"

Led Zeppelin - Dazed and Confused Live Supershow 1969 Metalrocker77 - Robert Plant, voz, armónica y pandereta. - Jimmy Page, guitarra eléctrica y acústica. - John Paul Jones, bajo, teclados y mandolina. - John Bonham, batería y percusión.

I also have to include this one - the note at about the 3:07 mark is just insane.
"Since I've Been Loving You"

I know. I am so sorry. Please don't judge me too hard.

Words of advice? Don't knock something until you try it. Music selectivity should be a crime.
