The Led Zeppelin Thread

[Silent Majority]

Stairway to Heaven is okay in context

[Dr. Medulla]

Gonna read a book on 'em now. Officially no longer able to call myself a punk rocker.

Which book? I've never really read anything about them, might be interested in taking a deeper dive.

Dunno yet. There's one, I'm sure.

Hammer of the Gods is the big one from the 80s. Their manager sued or threatened to sue over it. Very readable, salacious.

Yeah, it works much better on the album than on classic rock radio. I don't skip it when I'm listening to IV.

Yeah, that's the one I've walked past.

Opinion: Coda is an essential Zep LP. Very obvious when you consume immediately after Presence and In Through The Out Door.

Hideous song in any context but hey each to their own.

You have to be in a hobbit and magic fife frame of mind.

I like Coda

Eh, it makes a good argument for them not having a lot of treasured outtakes. "Poor Tom" is great. The live tracks that they pretended were studio tracks are good. Everything else is pretty meh. I'll take the difficult Presence and the qualitatively disparate Out Door over Coda pretty easily.

I've read a lot about its veracity being fairly dubious. Could be a fun read if you take it with a major grain of salt. I don't know that there is a VERY good book on them. This one has some good reviews, but it looks like it leans pretty heavily on Page's obsession with the occult:

Didn't you and I get drinks at the hotel where they did whatever involving a fish and a groupie?

[Flex]

Those both sound awesome, I'm picking up used copies of each.

[Dr. Medulla]

Fun novel about an attempted heist at a Zep concert:

Hello,

More...or less hideous in this context?



Entertaining for a while, but like the original, it drags on too long.
