9. Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_8OOyrPOs0&list=PL-klqSnloxXTS6WxYat3cGk5cuonVWm50 Track List: 1. Good Times Bad Times 2. Babe I'm Gonna Leave You 3. You Shook Me 4. Dazed and Confused 5. Your Time Is Gonna Come 6. Black Mountain Side 7. Communication Breakdown 8. I Can't Quit You Babe 9. How Many More Times Is it too much to argue that Led Zeppelin's debut was the album which truly heralded the arrival of the Hard Rock genre we know and love today? Released during a period when British Invasion bands such as The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and The Kinks ruled the world, Zeppelin cast their eyes back and embraced the Blues, plugged in their amps and unleashed a primal rock fury that shook the music world to its core . Containing such indisputable, heavyweight classics such as "Good Times, Bad Times", "Communication Breakdown€™€˜, "Babe, I€™m Gonna Leave You" and "Dazed and Confused", Led Zeppelin's colossal debut showcased Robert Plant€™s incredible range and soulful delivery, alternating between gentle croon and fevered Rock God, alongside Jimmy Page€™s radical guitar playing and riffs which re-wrote the rule book along with one of the tightest rhythm sections in rock history in bassist/multi-instrumentalist John Paul Jones and the greatest drummer of all time; John Bonham. Absolutely nothing new can be said about this all time classic and its inclusion speaks for itself. Do yourself a massive favour and just go and listen to it again; its timeless, flawless arrangements will floor you each and every time.

I love Heavy Metal, and generally anything that involves a guitar and loud noises, so I figured it was about time I put all the useless information in my head to good use and start writing a few things. Most of the time I'll be writing nonsense but occasionally I may surprise myself and appear half-way knowledgable.....but you can be the judge of that. Thanks for your fleeting attention!
