Jimmy's A Legend Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Classically mine was STH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stargroves Tangie Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 It was STH for me too- and I hated it. Thought it was so long & boring. Of course, I wasn't into rock yet, only Top 40 . The station was called 99X, and it was a popular Top 40 station in New York City in the mid 70s. One time 99X had a charity rock star auction where you could bid on stuff from your favorite artists: they had stuff from Kiss, Stevie Nicks, Foreigner, Rod Stewart, and yes, a pair of Bic lighters signed by Jimmy & Robert. I wasn't in the least bit interested in bidding for them, because I didn't like this Led Zeppelin band & their horrible song. 2 years later I ditched 99X for a rock station. I heard Kashmir, and fell in love with Led Zeppelin...forever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlanetPage Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Classically mine was STH. '75 Or '76 (Probably '76) STH...I will bill STH as "the most" exceptional song I ever heard in that time period. Prior to this I had no experience in listening to Western Music...

Aquamarine Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Dazed and Confused. That bass line, followed by those unearthly guitar notes--hooked me instantly too. Yup, my heart belongs to Jonesy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timothy5151 Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 At at time when I was into hair-bands and glam rock, one of my best friends put on Led Zeppelin IV and blasted Rock And Roll one night at a college party after most everyone had left for the clubs. It blew my mind and turned musical world upside down. Thousands of CDs, hundreds of bands, and numerous music genres later, no other band comes close to the musical genus of Zeppelin. After being at the O2 last December, I have not been to another concert since. Partially because I am still paying that one off and partly because I know nothing else will come close when you see a kick-ass show by your musical idols. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternal light Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 My sweet, kind, loving, wonderful boyfriend and I were listening to Led Zeppelin I when we first met. It was love at first sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melanie_72 Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 The Zep song I remember hearing for the very first time was Bonzo's Montreaux. My older brother is a drummer and he was listening to it one day and I thought it was so cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
euro Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 "Immigrant Song" my sister bought the single when it came out. I never realized it was Zeppelin until about 1976 when i first got into the band when i heard Black Dog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMAZONIC Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 WHOLE LOTTA LOVE!! Aww...It was like an electro shock when I first heard it!! That brutal and ferocious metallic guitar riff, the powerful drumming, the "in your face" sensuality, the climactic mid section with Roberts' screaming, well..it was too much. I felt "raped" by that song Still my number one along D&C.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longdistancewinner Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 In terms of sitting down and listening with the conscious knowledge that it was Led Zeppelin: Trampled Underfoot. When it came to subconsciously hearing them (as was the case every Friday on Top of the Pops): Whole Lotta Love. I also remember we had a quiz show (more like piss take) that would play Black Dog as in intro every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leddy Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 A mate lent me LZ II who he had borrowed off another mate, he said it was ok lol....I will give him ok !!!

Anarchy2Howard Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Immigrant Song was the first Zep song I remember hearing, but when I heard Whole Lotta Love for the first time I recognised the way Plant sings "wanna whole lotta love.." So I dunno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roxie Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Must have been either STH or Immigrant Song sometime in the 80's. Can't remember where or what year exactly, but I know it was either one of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adi Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 mine was WHOLE LOTTA LOVE.. and i fell in love instantly with the explosive riff, sexy lyrics and the anazing vocal appeariance by Robert (my favourite part is the you need love scream right in the end of it..). it was and still is one of the greatest rock songs of all times (and i think one of the sexiest as well...) so i fell in love with Led Zeppelin immidiatley after hearing this song...

mordor_maiden Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 The first one I heard and knew it was LZ was Stairway....although I'd still swear by all that's holy that I heard Your Time is Gonna Come and For Your Life on the jukebox in Pizza Hut.

LoveIsTheGateway Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Ah, like many, mine was Stairway To Heaven. I loved the way it provokes you to loose yourself in a tranquil field, and then it rocks you into a vortex of heavy rock back to reality, only to begin longing to hear the journey again. With Jimmy's legendary guitar playing, Robert's shrill but unmatched voice, Bonzo's thunderous drums, and Jonesy's rythmic bass all brought it together at the end when it completely sweeps you off your feet. It's as if, you had no idea what has happened. Once I heard it for the first time, I had no idea what the name of the song was. I also felt as though it was so great, I didn't expect how epic the feel of it was, so I just needed to hear it again, expecting it all. And boy, that first time was just a journey.
