Still, something big was going on, and many people at the time didn’t get it. Robert Plant’s lyrics - an amalgam of stolen blues lyrics, random and confused references to Norse and Tolkien mythologies, sullen misogyny, and utter nonsense - didn’t help matters. All the old terms used to explain this still apply: Zeppelin were a sledgehammer, a steamroller, a juggernaut, a leviathan, picking the music up, turning it into a club, and wielding it unmercifully, often on innocent bystanders and any nearby baby seals. But the rock Establishment didn’t quite get the band at the time. Rock’s lumpenproletariat liked them a lot, and even those with finer sensibilities could not help respecting the band’s sonics, not to mention Page’s venturesome guitar chops. The Modern Man’s Dilemma: Which Led Zeppelin Ringtone to Choose?īelow is my list of all of the band’s original studio albums, ranked from worst to best. The sound sparkles, and the many early versions and mixes of some fabled tracks will thrill fans. The final group of three albums - including Presence, In Through the Out Door, and Coda - is out this week.
Now we have the latest (and definitive, we’re told) remastering of the band’s now-historic catalogue. Jimmy Page put an end to all of that with Led Zeppelin, the band that broke the blues and created something new - hard rock, heavy metal, whatever you want to call it. They were done with brio, but with probity and respect, too. Rock bands always fooled around with doing the blues louder and with less finesse, of course, but beyond that, folks like Eric Clapton were the models, with their sincere embarkations into the music. The blues were a serious matter, meant to be played a certain way. It’s difficult to remember now how precious the blues seemed to rockers in the 1960s.
