pageluvva Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Misty Mountain. I remember the morning in my room. I played that song 1000 times that week. When those drums come in it still gives me chills. What's yours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedZep123 Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Whole Lotta Love My dad was playing like his rock and roll songs (At this time I liked disco music - Earth, Wind & Fire, Abba etc.) and then this one came on and I was like WHOAAAWHIHAIFHEIAEU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John M Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Here's a thread I started on a similar topic a few years ago.

JohnOsbourne Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Whole Lotta Love. I was already into hard rock like AC/DC and Van Halen, but after hearing WLL I instantly knew Zep was special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sister I implore you Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 What is and What Should Never Be. I wasn't too familiar with Led Zep 1, and Whole Lotta Love was already over played in LA, when, driving into Las Vegas at age 16, my buddy was debuting Led Zep II on his 8 track tape machine. We were just coming into town and blasting the volume when I heard the way cool speaker separation of the power chords at the end of What is, and that sound, and Jimmy's staccato pick scraping between the chords - was the coolest thing I had ever heart up to that point in my life. That song was my first favorite, though Heartbreaker was a close second about 5 minutes later. Damn, that lead is fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bozoso73 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 I'll never forget going through my mother's records with my friend back in 1986 when I was 13 and we found LZ I. . .She was like "you're gonna love this. . put on ICQYB!". . I've been obsessed ever since:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aitch58 Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 I remember hearing Rock and Roll and Stairway when I was about 14.years old, and thinking how cool they were. But it was buying Houses Of The Holy album that really got me hooked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrunotheMagnificent Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 It is Dazed and Confused for me. Belonging to the younger generation who grew up on all the classic rock radio stations they had back in the day, I/m sure i heard Stairway first but it was Dazed which woke me up and made me sit at attention. The middle section leading into the guitar solo just absolutely blew my mind. It was to me something more than just a song. I think I agree with Ray Davies who wrote that he doesn't think of Zeppelin's music as songs, sorry i don't recall the rest of what he wrote but for me Zeppelin is beyond calling their music 'songs'. Maybe that's why today i find alot of what i used to like boring and sometimes unlistenable even. What you ask, well i don't know how about the Who for example all those pop ditties Pete Townshend wrote during the 60s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedZep123 Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 I really enjoyed their third album, and I that album helped me get a wider range of music taste. From the hard-rock stompers of Immigrant Song and Out Of The Tiles, to the sort of pop tunes of Celebration Day, to blues of Since I've Been Loving You, to acoustic of Tangerine... one of my favourite albums of all time.

Nick MacRae Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 For me it was Dazed and Confused, easily. Although Communication Breakdown helped. I had heard a handful of Led Zep songs before checking out their first album (as everyone has), but the OG album definitely solidified me as a fan.

McSeven Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 (edited) Rock and Roll is the song I got into with Zep in 1988 when I started to dig into them when I was a teenager. All I heard was the ending part after Jimmy's solo. Edited October 15, 2021 by McSeven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1975NQ Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 I was kind of a fan before I knew it. As a little kid in the 70s, Led Zep was all over the radio, and grown-ups liked to take their radios EVERYWHERE back then 😂 Whenever "Kashmir" came on, I stopped whatever I was doing to listen. I was hypnotized by that Bonham-Page push-pull riff. I had no idea what I was listening or who it was and didn't think to ask. I became a conscious LZ fan in high school when some kid put on the fourth album in the art room during the lunch break. So, I guess the official answer for me is "Black Dog". Hearing that for the first time ever at age 15, I was like "where have you been all my life" lol. I had all of their albums by the end of that month. Discovering "Kashmir" in that new context was like being visited by an old friend. It was like ... "hey I know you ..!!" Sorry for novel 😂 (#coolstorybro) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
