I pushed the volume all the way up for this one. After it was over I went to turn the volume down and the slider was missing. {#Eek}

I guess I turned it up and broke the knob off, as radio stations used to suggest? {#Stupid}

In my growing up years the Big 4 gods of rock and roll were of course The Beatles, The Stones, The Who & Zeppelin.

My being an American and them English meant nothing .

I've loved hundreds of bands and solo artists since then and a number have moved past Zep on my all time last.

But.....being immersed in this as so many of my generation, this song and other evoke so much in me.

Love hearing it when I'm not expecting it.

Awesome RP

GENIUS

But I can't decide which is my favorite: When The Levee Breaks or Ten Years Gone ?

Good lord, the way Bonzo plays just behind the beat.

Love it.

No one but no one drums like Bonham. It dominates this song.

He and Keith Moon were the freakin best.

Ask Bill Bruford, Clive Deamer (Plant Band) and at least 50 others!

I always thought Keith Moon was great - but....

The man is on his way home ready

What else - Ummagumma
is no longer an option for his generation.

Am I funny...?


a little funny.....this time.

I do a lot of mountain walking in Scotland, and in summer and autumn the mountains are snow-free - the torrents and burns are filled by the plentiful rain the region enjoys.


Now there is a man after my own heart.

Ran/mostly hiked 10km of rather wet trail in North Vancouver Sunday. We have both a good snow pack and lots of rain in the Coastal mountains this summer.

Plants Harmonica work is so underrated. I cant decide which I enjoy more between it and Bonzo's amazing drumming.

The question is: do you even make sense to yourself?
