unwatchable it's just like a whole schizophrenic chopped up mess sorry bro... you could have made one reaction video for each song and let us enjoy it but it's all chopped up so sorry I'm out
@@fredtello he's almost certainly chopped it up to avoid being blocked by Warner music group. Not his fault
You wait till you get to Led Zeppelin version of "When the Levee Breaks" a cover of the 1929 song by Memphis Mini & Joe McCoy
It doesn't get any more MOBO and now it's nearly 100 years old. 😂😂😂
This is one of the best debuts of all time. But all their albums are fire. One in a billion.
It is the GOAT debuts
@@jeffreykabik Debut of de-butt.
“What is wrong with Jimmy Page?” lol ain’t that the truth.
We’ve been trying to figure that out since 69’. He’s (they all were) masters, but Jimmy’s vision is awe inspiring.
I’m so glad you saw how “black” this album is, every member of this band loved the American folk, blues/R&B artists .
Enjoying your well thought out reactions, enjoy & love this music my friend and new Led Zeppelin fan, it will likely be with you forever. 🎉
The Beatles are my favorite band ever, but Led Zeppelin sent rock music into a brand new dimension
**Luv** THIS!!! **RockON!!**
The Beatles lasted 8 yrs. They were a Pop Rock commercial successful band. Led Zeppelin was the four greatest musicians in Rock and Roll / Blues history. The Beatles couldn't stand on the same stage with Zepp
@@peterbartolomeo5542 The Beatles were NOT just a “ Pop Rock commercial“ band. They defied any particular genre. Plus, their ability to experiment in the studio made it possible for virtually every band that followed them (including LZ) to follow suit. That should NEVER be underestimated. As for live performances, I don’t claim that The Beatles were as virtuosic in terms of featuring solo, standout performances by the individual members but, that was not their forte. They operated more as a single unit, in service to their songs. Totally different approach to playing. Besides, the only time most of the general public got to hear them at their best (or nearly their best, for all we know) was at their short rooftop concert in 1969. John Lennon once said that their best live shows occurred in Hamburg before they even became famous.
@@peterbartolomeo5542 The Beatles remain the best band of all time imho. They revolutionized pop and rock music. No other band evolved and reinvented themselves as much as they did, and no other band released as many great songs as they did or such a variety of music. For sure, Led Zeppelin is a great band, with amazing guitarwork and drumming, and so many epic, complex tracks. Ultimately it's probably like comparing apples and oranges!
@@peterbartolomeo5542The point is that they always have to include the Beatles in any comparison to praise other artists, like in this case the subject of the main comment who knows that there is no band bigger than the Beatles who necessarily compares them to Led Zeppelin to give them more prominence, that says a lot, don't you think?
After watching your reaction to The Beatles, I'm positive you'll really like Led Zeppelin.
Lyrically, many of these songs are basically blues covers. For the most part, these songs are Zeppelin reinterpreting the blues.
But they are the greatest pumped up blues band ever!on Zeppelin 1,as they progressed and matued,they got more experimental and brought in Celtic,old English folk,middle eastern tunings and sounds ,they were not just a blues band but their songs even their covers don't resemble the originals in feeling and sound ,to me they are the greatest ever and they created the slow start then kick ass crescendos,!!!
Lyrically, yes. But LZ songs are "covers" like Shakespeare is a cover of the Bible.
@@dudermcdudeface3674 I was referring to this album specifically
Man you just went down one of the greatest rabbit holes to ever fall into!! In my opinion, Led Zeppelin is 2nd, right behind The Beatles in terms of their influence, relevance and impact on music as a whole. Robert Plant is one of the greatest rock vocalist, frontman and most badass, sexy mofos to ever grace the stage!! Jimmy Page! Easily considered one of the greatest and most influential guitarist ever to pick up the axe! John Paul Jones!! Not just a genius bass player, but synth/keyboard and one of the greatest composers in rock history! And John Bonham!! Considered the “greatest drummer of all time!” Changed the game entirely with his style, his use of polyrhythms and triplets was far ahead of its time! You will remember this day for the rest of your life my guy! Excited to see you embark on this journey!
YAY **Luv** this **ALL** especially **MyJimmyPageMusicalGeniusWizardBabe** **RockON!!!**
Zeppelin is amazing, never before heard tempos, wow vocals, a master guitarist (Jimmy Page) and oh those drums. Genius.
"It sounds like paranoia." He gets it!
Speaking of paranoia, I hope he checks out Paranoid by Black Sabbath at some point too
Led Zeppelin is such an amazing band... their fifth album "houses of the holy" is, in my humble opinion, the greatest they've done and one of the greatest albums ever recorded. Those 4 guys were/are just so insanely talented and devoted to their music and instruments. It's crazy
My new favourite pastime is to watch people react to music I loved when I was in my teens.Saw them at Knebworth in 79 .GOAT.
Robert Plant uses his voice as an instrument and Jimmy Page uses his instrument as a voice and they work so well together.
Amen
jeff buckley did this by himself too... and robert plant and jimmy page LOVED him, vice versa. RIP Jeff
One of the greatest debut albums in rock history!!!!!!!! Perfection!
Can't compare Beatles to Zep except both bands have 4 EXTREMELY talented fellows
How about this: the Beatles dominated the 1960's, and Zeppelin dominated the 1970's, and no other rock bands came close to either of them, since
@@tektoniks_architects I kinda tell myself that I "get around it" by saying The Beatles were The Greatest band ever, and/but Led Zeppelin was the BEST, if that makes sense, lol. In any case, Zep's my favorite band, with love enough to spare for Beatles and Stones and Floyds and Ramones...
There are so many great great bands. My top 5 are Beatles, Zep, Stones, Who and Skynyrd, but I love Sabbath, Purple, Floyd, Rush, Cream, Hendrix, Yes, Rush, and hundreds of others. I just put the Beatles and Zep in their own category.
@@tektoniks_architects Yeah, I think that's valid. Especially when I reflect at how many personnel changes the Stones and The Who went thru, and the fact that many bands have "bad" albums or "classic" periods, when they were hitting on all cylinders, etc (Stones with Mick Taylor, for ex.), but I don't think, despite my obvious bias, you can really say that about The Beatles or Zeppelin. Same members thruout their career, every album quite damned good!
Both bands very musically diverse as well (as were the Stones and the Whoo, too). All those bands could play blues, rock, acoustic, hard rock, ballads, prog, country, reggae....they were all such gifted musicians there was no limit to where they could go. That set them above other bands who were locked into a specific genre only, IMO.
The entire album was recorded in 7 days. Crazy.
Imagine this came out while they were already on tour, and the Beatles and Beach Boys were the biggest bands on the planet. These guys brought it, nothing like it before or since.
The absolute Kings.
So after the Beatles we had a Yin and Yang thing going down.
Led Zeppelin vs Pink Floyd
But Pink Floyd really hit their sound after the transition album Meddle they created the monster album:-
"The Dark Side of the Moon"
This album will take you stratospheric!
THE BEATLES - LED ZEPPELIN - PINK FLOYD. And that's ALL she wrote!
deep purple and black sabbath as well
As someone said, Led Zeppelin is the last band of the 60s and the first band of the 70s.
yessss! led zeppelin is awesome!!! i subscribed after seeing your beatles reactions bc im a huge fan of them, led zeppelin is my second favorite band so i was really excited seeing this! glad u love them
If Crazy Train by Ozzy Osborne is what got you into liking rock music then you have to check out Black Sabbath next, especially their first album. They were Ozzy’s original band from the 60’s that invented Heavy metal and music has never been the same since
If you listen carefully, you’ll find out that “Babe I’m Gonna Leave You” sounds like “While My Guitar Gently Weeps”. They are both in the same key and share a really similar chord progression.
George can't play like Page i don't hear it
@@geetarman their styles are so different, you can't compare.
Joan Baez had a minor hit with the same song before Zeppelin or White Album, an old traditional folk blues. Her version has no rock in it whatsoever but I think the key is still the same.
I don’t think Harrison or Clapton were copying that tune either fwiw. There was just a lot of rock borrowing from blues in the late 60s
@@JJJJJVVVVVLLLLL that kind of descending chord progressions have been used since probably music exists so I can't blame em.
I've heard it compared to "25 or 6 to 4" by Chicago, which came out soon after.
What a ride you are on... thanks for letting us all share it with you! I came to Zeppelin in the 90s. Every generation must pass down their legacy!
Beatles might be kings of pop but Zeppelin are the gods of rock. Plant and Page jump out at you now but with more listens you will appreciate the GOAT of drummers, John Bonham, and JPJ who plays bass, percussion and keys. Zeppelin 2 is similar to this album but a bit more funky...you won't be disappointed ,,,again. If you want an experience in between, listen to "Moby Dick" (an epic drum solo)from their Albert Hall performance...it will blow you away.
Beatles are not just kings of pop, they are gods at everything they did. From the vast amount of genres they performed/created, to the innovative studio techniques, and their musical and cultural impact that still lives on today.
Led Zeppelin are the gods of hard rock for sure, even if many late 60s bands, including the Beatles, influenced it greatly, as well as the rest of the unholy trinity, Black Sabbath and Deep Purple. They took blues and made it louder, eventually becoming hard rock as we know it today. Both bands are like in the top 5 best bands of all times, Beatles are obviously number one for me, but I love them both ❤️.
Can't go wrong with the first 3 albums. They went on growing, exploring, and maturing. IMO their peak works (my favorites) are LZ IV, Houses Of The Holy, and Physical Graffiti. For laughs you should hear the Dread Zeppelin version of "Your Time is Gonna Come."
You crack me up, this was a great ride with you. And i grew up with Zepplin...❣️ Listening through you and your insights allows for new ears on ours, thank you!
At some moments, your reactions brought me to tears.
When this album was released, I was in college. A friend of mine got the album and told a bunch of us, "You have to come and listen to this". We all went into his room, and our jaws dropped as we listened to this album. We thought we had died and gone to music heaven.
When Led Zeppelin II came out, the same friend bought it and told us all, "You won't believe me, but this one is even BETTER". We all laughed at him, but soon we realized that he wasn't lying. And so it went with all first four albums. It was just incredibly good music with a heavy blues influence. Just listen to Robert Plant's voice. He is a blues singer. And John Bonham was one of the greatest drummers of the 20th century. Everyone in that group was an extraordinary talent.
Just wait and see how Robert Plant owns a stage.
Amazing!! The Mighty Led Zeppelin!! Definitely gotta do Zeppelin 2. They have some of the greatest classic rock albums of all time! Whereas the Beatles kept evolving from album to album (Abbey Road is way different from Please Please Me)..IMO I feel Zeps sound and album just continues to build off of the sound and vibe of their first album. They still grow and explore their sound and they have different types of bangers later in their catalog (like Kashmir and Nobody’s Fault But Mine) their overall vibe always kept that tension sound! Which personally I love!
"You Shook Me" is another one that I really loved after hearing the BBC sessions version.
Like the Beatles, LZ have a deep rabbit hole. You are in for a ride. They were part of the British blues movement some of that influence can also be heard on Beatles' tracks like 'Yer Blues' and 'I Want You (She's So Heavy)'. LZep were four individuals that were arguably the masters at what they did at the time. Like the Beatles, another perfect wave. Great music every album.
I was born 2 years later but i have to imagine if you were alive at the time and mourning the loss of the Beatles breaking up or on the verge of breaking up and you heard this album you had to say to yourself “things are gonna be ok…”
This was a fabulous reaction!! Definitely got what you were saying about Your Time Is Gonna Come and the Beatles. Been a Zep fan since their beginning - hope you do all their catalog - it's worth the journey - particularly the way you do the album reaction. One of their later albums - Physical Graffiti - that will be an experience 😁Thanks - looking forward to LZII. ☮
24:50 You’re so fukking right, the best white music comes from black music influences. Led Zeppelin is an amazing band tough
100% right. Rock was pioneered by black artists. Made mainstream by acts like Elvis Presley who had many black artists writing his songs and giving him songs because radios wouldnt give airtime to black artists, and giving them to Elvis was the only way they could make real money out of them. The Beatles were always open about how much they got from artists like Chuck Berry and Little Richard
@@HBMediaFilmsbut just as many black artists had white people writing their songs. Hound dog by sister Rosetta Thorpe for example, one of the most famous rock songs ever written by 2 white guys. And into the 60’s and 70’s white artists were widely covered by black artists and had some of their biggest hits- all along the watchtower by Hendrix, proud Mary by Tina turner to name a few. Further, it’s true that Elvis had an advantage because of his race in the 50’s, but it’s really not why he was such a next level cultural force and continues to be now. He has one of the greatest most instantly recognizable voices ever and was an incredible song interpreter and had amazing charisma. There were plenty of other genius white rock artists of that era (buddy holly, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins) who aren’t nearly as culturally ubiquitous now. So his legacy can’t just be chalked up to his race, or those other dudes would be just as famous as well. Elvis had something truly unique and special.
You could argue the same for black music, considering 20th century black American music was based almost entirely on white European instruments - piano, saxophone, guitar, trumpet, etc.
@@456012 That's really interesting I never knew that about Hound Dog! Oh yeah Elvis was a star for so many reasons would never deny that. The man was born for it! And that's the same thing even now with so many of the big artists of the day have songs written for them, not every great songwriter has the stage presence to sell the songs they write I suppose
Jimmy page the greatest guitarist ever
The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Traffic (hope you check them out too). The main British bands that came out in the 60's, definitely influenced by blues/R&B. Let's not forget the great Jimi Hendrix who went to England in order to become famous. Love your thoughtful reactions, Darius.
I Luv this! & Oh yes I so do Hope Darius will check out Traffic at some point in the future RockON!!!
Yeah, the Brits especially revered the American blues artists. Zeppelin really embraced them and blended the power of power rock to make a new type of music.
Loving your reactions mad. Gotta keep working chronologically through Led Zeppelin and more Beatles! Also Dark Side of the Moon should be soon!
Great reaction Dariius. You have now opened that can of worms that is Led Zep, you will never be able to put the lid back on the can! Please work through their catalog, some you may dislike but some will alter your life! :)
29:37 > got a taste there of one of greatest riffs ever created by man.
Zeppelin 2 is so varied compared to this. You’ll love it.
Very thoughtful guy you are.
I get bored of these reactors who just do it for views. You seem to care and put effort in, which is great to see.
Genuine comes to mind.
New sub from 🇬🇧
Seriously the guitars on this album can't be described as anything else but menacing. My only small issue was the lack of variety and that's not even much of an issue after subsequent listens, so i'm really excited to check out Zeppelin II tomorrow!
lifeofdariius - you have big ears. You have excellent insight and good hearing.
Great review.
THE MIGHTY ZEP...... there will never be a better band. pure amazement 🤟
Glad you enjoyed it, though it's not the most critically acclaimed, this album is definitely my favorite of theirs
YEEEHA!! It's the goats!! These guys could play music under water and still sound incredible.
Indeed! Luvit!
Fortunately, we have The Beatles AND Led Zeppelin! And Pink Floyd, and many others who have had an amazing career, an amazing album, or an amazing song. Your journey is just beginning!
Yo you should check out The Doors dude, they also got some heavy inspiration on blues (tho they have a more psychedelic vibe). My dad LOVED Zeppelin and The Doors so these were the first rock bands I got into after The Beatles
Love the Beatles, but I listen to LZ every day...for 60 frickin years.
❤😊
Right ON!!! Me TOO!!! RockON!!!
I really have listened to The Beatles for 60 years. Led Zeppelin did not even form until 1968. That would be 56 years.
@@MsAppassionata close enough...we do round up. 😘
@@Linda-y9h Uh uh. Fairly close, but no cigar. You can’t just, arbitrarily, add 4 more years to their existence. Sorry Pal, but It doesn’t work that way. The Beatles, on the other hand, showed up on my personal radar in 1964, even though they were already popular before that in the U.K.
@@MsAppassionata geez...chill sweetie. It's OK. Love is all you need. 😘😘😘😘
GO ON TO ZEPPELIN II!!!!!
You gotta check out some pink floyd and jimi Hendrix. Maybe even watch some live performances of Hendrix cause he is just so wild on stage
I was digging through my older cousins album, found this album, and played it over and over again during one summer. I was hooked on Zep.
You totally underrated the magnificent drumming of John Bonham. The driving force behind this band.
Keep it up man I love these videos
Robert plant was 19 when this album was recorded.... Zeppelin recorded this album in only 36 hours total and before they had a record contract
Check out the negative side of love with Five Long Years Steve Marriott live 1985 and his work with Humble Pie song suggestion Black Coffee
Most talented band ever. All 4 memmbers were top 3 EVER at what they did. And the chemistry they had together was simply unmatched
THIS is the greatest band to ever grace the planet! They did every genre...they were 4 greatest musicians...nobody better!
Great reaction video!! The most notable reaction I took from you was how wild Jimmy page kept getting in this album. The best way I can explain this is that Jimmy was so much more talented on the guitar than any body who came before him and he wanted to show case his talents on this album, and what a job he did. That “sound” you heard on “Dazed and Confused” was actually a violin bow on his guitar. It was amazing what he was able to do on both electric and acoustic.
Another thing that I want to point out is the area where they grew up in in England had a major musical influence from American Blues. Albums where brought back from shipping routes by Long shore man during the American jazz/blues period. That area of England feel in love with American Blues/jazz. From that Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Bonham, and John Paul Jones grew up playing and listening to that type of music. When they formed their own band, their love for Blues/Jazz continued. That’s why you have Songs like “You Shook Me” “I Can’t Quit You Baby” and “How Many More Times” sound similar to Blues music with added heavy focus on guitar because they wanted to give what they grew up loving a new Rock and Roll Twist. As you listen to more albums you will notice a Pattern.
watch them live..have fun with Led Z
You must watch some of their live stuff, Madison square garden 1973 is probably their best,it will show you just how amazing and talented all four of these boys were,best rock band ever!!😊😊
most songs on this album are blues classics reimagined (they actually got sued for plagiarism cause they did not credit the authors)
Next check out their second album Led Zeppelin II and this time don't use genius, because it can take away some of the surprises the tracks sometimes have in them in tempo changes. I would say that for Led Zeppelin the experience is not primarily in the lyrics; it's in the music. Another tip: Try to pick up on how amazingly well John Bonham is on the drums. It may take a second listen, but in the realm of drumming he is as impressive as Jimmy Page is on the guitar and Robert Plant is with singing :)
That's kind of how I felt after listening I'm glad somebody else confirmed it 😂 This is a lot more about the feeling the surprises the build up. I've been listening to this since the reaction and the drumming definitely jumped out at me today I can't wait to hear II
I remember being blown away the first time I heard Babe I’m Gonna Leave You, just grinning and laughing throughout because it was so intense. Your reaction was genuinely so similar, it made me laugh.
There were more than a few Zep songs like ( " Babe I'm gonna leave you) about living life on tour and on the road. He really doesn't want to leave her but he's going on tour. Touring was tough back in those days , and Bonzo was often very home sick.
So happy you took my advice Darius and started your Led Zeppelin journey!!! Jimmy Page's riffs are legendary! And great comparison... Loved Juice WRLD, may he Rest In Peace. Zeppelin were most influenced by the early black R&B and Blues artists of the 1930's, 40's, 50's and then into the Motown era of the 60's. I can't wait for you to hear Led Zeppelin II, the album that went to #1 and knocked the Beatles Abbey Road from the top spot on the Billboard Charts!
Peace
Yessir I was prepared to do Pet Sounds first but your comment swayed me for some reason 😂 Felt like a genuine warning I see exactly what you mean now
WoW YAY Thank *You* so very very MUCH for bringing this Magical Journey to fruition! *Luv* your name i call Jimmy Page *MyBeautifulMusicalGeniusWizardBabe* heh anyway ya **Rock!**
Thanks Pixie! I dig your name too! I'm a guitarist as well. I spent a lot of time putting together a professional recording studio here in Western New York. Had a few setbacks but my band will be recording soon. If we can ever get our stuff out there, I think you'll dig us as well. But thank you for the wonderful comment :) Darius is awesome! He articulates so well about the music he's listening to, and he truly loves great music! I'm really excited for him to take this amazing journey!
Peace@@CosmicVagabondPixie
First time listening to a reaction of yours - enjoyed it! Being a big Beatles fan, I'm going to check out your Beatles reactions too. Re Led Zeppelin I: it's a stunning debut album and one of LZ's best.
Great choice for introduction to the greatest band of all time.
Zeppelin the GREATEST ROCK BLUES band ever !
Oh my goodness! You are in for quite a ride with Led Zeppelin. The Beatles were the band that started it, Led Zeppelin changed it. Love them both.
i hope to see your reaction to the other zeppelin albums and other bands, so i subbed, keep it up
Try REO Speed wagon golden country government protest song and Gary Richraft flying turkey trot live REO Speed wagon guitar solo best ever early 70snot well known mind blowing
That’s only their first album 😂 keep going man you will only regret not doing it sooner!
My top 10 list.
Dylan
The Beatles
2pac
Eminem
Paul Simon (Simon & Garfunkel)
Sam Cooke
Led Zeppelin
Pink Floyd
Prince
The Rolling Stones
Our generation loves the Beatles AND Led Zeppelin and so many more classic bands. Really can't compare the two bands because they're so different.
Great reaction!
Zeppelin's next album, Led Zeppelin II, might as well be a "Greatest Hits" album. Just banger after banger.
concerning lyrics of '60s rock songs: most of the time we couldn't understand most of them and we never knew for sure (no internet/no google) until/unless the lyrics were printed somewhere on the album cover, so not knowing what they're about is actually truer to the '60s experience
You must check out Stairway to Heaven live from MSG in 1973.Epic❤
24:25 (R&B/blues/black influence) Very perceptive! You got it exactly right - and that's the significance of the British Invasion. The white kids in the segregated 1950s weren't exposed to the essential music of black artists (blues, R&B, etc such as Robert Johnson) due to middle class racism. Meanwhile British kids in the 50's could more easily hear those artists and were heavily influenced by the blues/R&B. As young adults in the 60's, that whole generation of Brits had a very different, more soulful vibe, which they exported back to the US as the British Invasion. That was fortunate, but at the same time it was sad that Led Zeppelin, the Beatles, the Stones, etc. had to reintroduce white middle America to its own rich heritage.
Don’t sleep on John Paul johns. He’s the secret magic in zeppelin. A studio musician like jimmy but a multi-instrumentalist. He’s on bass and keyboards.
If you like guitar you gotta listen to Jimi Hendrix the most influential guitarist ever
The unusual highlights guitar sounds are slide guitar work... But the greatest guitarist composer performer from the period is .. Rory Gallagher, master of slide guitar, rocker master from Ireland. First albums are magic, did many more amazing albums, and basically one of the best LIVE albums of any rock collection: The Irish Tour (double). No one performs as spectacular versions both in studio and live recordings than Rory❤
For others reaction i suggest to listen to pink floyd's album
they are def a blues based band the lyrics are largely recycled from older blues tunes on this album especially.
So many rip-offs
I love in the first few seconds of the album how John Bonham made it crystal clear that he was not here to fuck around
If u dig this album before u get into the 2nd one check out “we’re gonna groove” they recorded it at the same time but it didn’t come out until 1980 on their last album
And when it comes to hearing them “just make a song” you’ll hear a lot of that later on…
Best Band EVERRRRR!!!!
You need to watch their concert film, the song remains the same....love to see your reaction to that.
White artists (Rock) was influenced by black artists (blues) then black artists (Rap) was influenced by Rock.
Zeppelin remains one of the most sampled acts ever.
All goes round in a circle in some way…but it’s the music that matters most. Not the colour of someones skin or background.
beautifully said
Crazy Train, then you gotta listen to Black sabbath Paranoid and Master of Reality
This is one of the best debut albums from the greatest band of all time! You’re going to love it, no doubting it!
You nailed it...this is the blues, fuzzed up, cranked up, and sped up. 😂😂😂
They do progress as their career moves along (more varied influences, but still guitar-based with Plant wailing away).
But this album is a tour de force for the time. It pretty much kicked everybody's ass. 😂😂😂 Def on my "deserted island" list. LZII is as well. As is IV, and "Physical Graffiti." The others are still good albums, but these rise above other bands.
I've had their albums in possibly every media format (vinyl, cassette, CD, mp3) since they were released.
I genuinely wasn't ready. I'm excited to get into Zeppelin II because if i didn't know any better i'd assume Zeppelin I was their best work... but apparently it only gets better 😅
My man…set up a Patreon.
Would love to see the full reaction.
Loving your journey
Zep II & every future reaction will be up in full on Patreon! Just set up a page yesterday actually
I’ve probably heard Dazed And Confused a thousand times, and I still have to stop and catch my breath after every listen. 🎸🔥
And yes, many of their songs are about the same thing. Zeppelin’s lyrical content is largely limited to Vikings, hobbits and 🦫
LZ2 is gonna be further development of the “hard blues rock, which is wonderful, If you looking for the more laidback zep, LZ3 is gonna be where you find that except for the first track, LZ 4 has a more muddled vibe due to a transition phase but is full of bangers, I would describe it as “intriguing and interesting”, HotH is beautiful, just beautiful, and then you get to Physical Graffiti, if I’m to make a prediction your gonna really fall in love with this band, once someone does a deep dive of the, it’s hard to come back out the same, cheers bro
Excited to see this series of reactions, Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, and Rush are my Top 3 bands and youve been listened to 2 of those, so as I said, excited to see and hear what you have to se
I recommend their first 6 albums but if you're only gonna do a couple I highly recommend Led Zeppelin IV and Physical Grafitti, they're both absolutely incredible!
If Zeppelin II builds on the momentum like these comments say, I'll definitely get to every project! I'm actually planning to get the rest of my Beatles reactions out the way next week so I can focus on other bands more give them 100% the ear they deserve. But Zeppelin II will be coming before that most likely Monday
@lifeofdariius looking forward to it dude, hope you enjoy them as much as the rest of us. Make sure you got Jimi Hendrix on your plans too!

Your order is exactly mine. My no. 5 is Skynyrd. But my top 4 is the same as yours.
I say: Zepp, Beatles, Stones, Queen, Pink Floyd.
he wasn't ready.
listen to The Doors first album! you will not regret it and will want to hear more!
got it!✅
Really appreciating your reactions - learning who the players are, appreciating how novel these songs were for their time. Keep it up!
Great reaction. Keep going with Led Zep. Then, try Jimi Hendrix - Purple Haze, All Along the Watchtower and Voodoo Chile. Then, Rolling Stones Gimmie Shelter, etc....
Heavy blues influenced album both instrumental and lyrical. An amazing band. Love for you to check out SUPERTRAMP - Crime of the Century
An Amazing prog rock band.
Oh & remember **Robert Plant** was 19-20 yrs old when they recorded this album which they recorded in 36 hours heh & as **Jack Black** said at the Kennedy Center Honors Tribute to Led Zeppelin: "Led Zeppelin is THE greatest Rock N Roll band of ALL time better than the Beatles better than the Stones even better than Tenacious D" (heh) "The jams of Led Zeppelin are second to none just ask anyone from Oliver Stone to Paul Ryan and EVERYone in between They sang songs about Love about Vikings about Vikings making Love! (heh) Ya know they say that Led Zeppelin sold their souls to Satan come on guys ya know ya did! (heh) there's no other way to explain your ungodly TALENTS I just want to say Thank You because while you're in hell the Human Race will CHERISH your Heavenly Jams until the end of TIME a small price to pay (heh) We Love You. Best Band EVER!" Ha YAY **Luvit** **Edit** Oh & also when they 1st started out the Love of his life made him choose between her & **Music** & Thank the freakin **Universe** Mr Robert Plant chose **Music**
Fico tão feliz de ver pessoas escutando led zeppelin pela primeira vez.
Would love to see you react to JanisJoplin's 'Cheap Thrills' album (1968). One of the greatest female vocalists/rock/blues stars of all time. Tragically died at the age of 27.
