Virginia Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 I've heard it a bazillion times on our classic rock station; although they don't play Zeppelin quite as often as they used to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggie29 Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 I reckon that since it was released on 8th November 1971, it has been played on average 13453 times, to date. That's if it was only played once a day, which I doubt. My calculation is based on: 36 years and 9 months (approx.) including 9 leap years. = 13453 days 37 years including 9 leap years. = 13514 days BTW this is only a guestimate.

Medhb Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Lots! But still not enough Yeah, you gotta find you a good classic rock station. We listen to Q104 here on the east coast. They play Zep ALL the time!! I hear Zep at least once a day and I'm not listening to the radio that much.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evster2012 Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Call me an idiot but i didn't know that they still played Zep on the radio, i just thought the stations only played new music. Songs heard daily on KLOS in Los Angeles: Rock and Roll Black Dog Heartbreaker Living Loving Maid Dazed and Confused Whole Lotta Love Ramble On Immigrant Song Misty Mountain Hop Going to California Stairway to Heaven Kashmir The Song Remains the Same The Ocean Dancin Days D'yer Maker Houses of the Holy Going to California All My Love In the Evening Fool in the Rain Southbound Suarez Not all of them every day, but those are what I recall hearing in recent months.

This. This. And This. It's not even in the Top 5 of songs they've done IMO, and people's unnatural obsession with the song causes some of their other, better songs to be completely forgotten. I don't hear WTLB on the radio, or Tea For One, or ALS, or In The Evening, or No Quarter.....you get my point. It's ridiculous. Led Zeppelin was more than just one song that everyone either fucked or got high to. And yes, I know people who've done either/or and sometimes, both.

Evster2012 Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Got a little more mileage out of Floyd, and oddly, EZO's first album. Hoooouse of a thousand pleeeasures! And Soungarden. Holy fuck! Literally! But upon reflection, it's about the partner. Those were just the albums that were playing when... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy's A Legend Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 So is it just an American radio station that plays rock songs? Unless if i can reach it from England? Incase you couldn't tell i don't usually listen to the radio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incase you couldn't tell i don't usually listen to the radio. You've got me confused here sweetie. They don't play Zeppelin in the UK???? What a shame! Sorry, wasn't trying to be snarky. I honestly don't know what they play across the pond. I guess I'm just lucky to get a shot of Zep when I jump in the truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electrophile Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 So is it just an American radio station that plays rock songs? "Classic rock" is a radio genre yes, and there are stations in basically all markets in this country have at least one. There's a difference between that station and modern rock, which plays rock music from current artists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longdistancewinner Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Here we only have a handful of national radio stations. The main one being Radio 1. That never plays Zeppelin - unless it's a rarity and they're interviewing one of the band, they'll probably play a 60 second clip. There are a few others, and they don't play Zeppelin (Radio 2 might, but I don't listen to it all that often). Then there's local radio, and they certainly don't play Zeppelin. So, unless you have Digital radio, and have a specific rock station, you don't have a cat in hells chance of hearing Zeppelin on the radio in UK. Now, when I was in Florida, it like was euphoria. They had several classic rock stations just for one city! I couldn't believe the amount of times I heard Zeppelin on the radio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved it although I just really seem to pass it by nowdays . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
