McSeven Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 In your own mind, Does LZ have Soul in thier music? If so what songs do you hear soul? I think that LZ have soul. Soul to me are authentic lyrics and feel. An example of this would be certain songs. Good Times/Bad Times, Your time is gonna come, The Lemon Song, Ramble On, Bring it on home. Just to name a few. Some bands do not have Soul in my mind. Like Van Halen/Rush. I think they are great, but Zep have a groove to thier music that makes it funky to my ears. When I hear Robert sing, I have to belive him when he talks about women. So when he talks about getting it on. When I look at him, I belive it. If MeatLoaf was Zeps lead singer, I would not really belive it. Mc7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melanie_72 Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 They certainly do. Just listen to "Trampled Under Foot" and "The Crunge" and the songs you've already mentioned. Alot of their influences were soul artists as well, so you can tell it was a huge influence on alot of their music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
040879 Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 also try Royal Orleans,Wanton Song and Fool In The Rain.Maybe Custard Pie,too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4urlife Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 I think their cover of We're Gonna Groove is a good example too, along with all of the other examples mentioned above. Their is also an early version of The Wanton Song out there that is a really good example. Also worth mentioning that none of them appeared to have big legs, so it must mean they gotta have a little soul in em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoso2112 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Why do people post ridiculous topics like this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Masson Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Why do people post ridiculous topics like this? Why do you say that? I think it's an excellent topic. Apart from the banter in the thread it's a very interesting question, because there are soul influences in LZ's music, and yet they are not really obvious - or much talked about. Seems like an ideal topic, and one to which I will return, methinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I belive what he is singing about really happend for him. Thats why I say that LZ have Soul in thier music.

Actually that's an interesting description, because to me that describes the blues, whereas soul is something much more subtle (no less real, of course), which is why it's a less obvious influence.
