SuperDave Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 My first was Stairway, when growing up in the mid 70's when I was about 10. Just listening to AM Top 40 radio at that point. It wasn't until a few years later, when In Through The Out Door was released and In The Evening was the track that really started to get me into this phenomenal, unique band. Between Robert's vocals and Jimmy's solo during the song that was it. This was also helped by Dazed and Confused with the jam in the middle (this is the real wall of sound. Sorry Phil!) and the blending of the low and high end riff. Pretty amazing. At the time this was also aided by Babe I'm Gonna Leave You and hearing Kashmir for the first time. Wow! Never heard anything like it. Just an amazing band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McSeven Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 My first memory of Zeppelin is the ending of Rock and Roll. Then most of Zoso. I went back and then bought 1 to ITTOD. I love LZ. They are the best. Still to this day no one comes close to surpasing them as my favorite band. Mc7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ms_zeppelin94 Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Rock & Roll was probably the first song I heard - but Immigrant Song was the one that made me fall in love Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyV Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 I think it was either Whole Lotta Love or Rock and Roll on the radio sometime in '75 or '76. (I didn't notice the forum name until I posted. I'm curious- is "Led Zeppelin Newbies" supposed to mean a newbie on this site or a newbie to Led Zeppelin music?)

Dzldoc Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Although WLL is my Fav. this was the very first Zep song I remember hearing 68/69? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIwht4fw_C0 ...and it was on a 45 so it was a stand alone hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caroselambra~ Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Strangely enough mine was the SRTS version of *No Quarter* The organ, guitar work and drum effects had me hooked - instantly. I then went out and bought IV and have never looked back! My all time favourite has to be Physical Graffiti. It is Zeppelin's *White Album* caroselambra~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leddy Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Ramble On, liked the lyrics. Wonderfully melodic bass line my JPJ on that track, I could listen to that on its own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virginia Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 It's awful, but I can't remember It had to have been either Stairway to Heaven or Whole Lotta Love though; those 2 definitely made an impression! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucyinthesky Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Stairway to heaven in Madison Square, sitting on my dad's lap aged five, gazing at Roberts hair on the TVscreen in awe...still is a very clear and beloved picture in my head.

Matt Harris Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 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...
ZOSOGIRL93 Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 I was driving home from softball practice with my dad I think? And on KLOS, Dancing Days came on and I was like, "WHAT IS THIS GLORIOUS SOUND?!" XD I think thats why my dad is deaf now, cause I cranked the radio all the way up. No, thats just because he is old! But yeah, ever since I loved them! And once they went to Virgin Megastore, and my dad got me some awesome Led Zeppelin buttons, that I refuse to let anyone touch.

BUCK'EYE' DOC Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 My first Zep song was "The Lemon Song". I was in elementary school and my friend snuck away her teenage brother's LZ II album. She said "listen to this song!". We were young and innocent and didn't really know what the song was about, but we knew that it was naughty. He caught us playing it and he told us what it was about. Then he told us to listen to "Whole Lotta Love". We didn't have to guess what "Every inch of my love" was about. So I grew up thinking that Led Zeppelin was too sexy for me. Then when "Stairway to Heaven" came out in 1971, I fell in love with Led Zeppelin. In my opinion, it is the best rock song of all time without any equal. Robert's lyrics and Jimmy's twelve string guitar are so wonderful and that's what changed my mind about Led Zeppelin. I also had grown up a bit and wasn't afraid of "sexy" any more.

Kali Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 I think it was Whole Lotta Love but I also knew Kashmir at that time (when I was 6 or 7 years old). Then I bought LZ II and IV on vinyl years later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
