Miss you so much, Cynaera...

love this song...

There's often an irony when someone claims Led Zeppelin has been plagiarized.  This song was written by Anne Bredon in the 1950s, not by anyone from Led Zeppelin.  However, the band did not even credit her for writing the song until fairly recently.

Probably the best Led Zep song ever. I also reckon it sums up the end of the 60's somewhat perfectly.

Stops me dead in my tracks at work.  Lean back, slow grin emerging, letting the waves of 1969 wash over me, remembering listening this in my bedroom as high school senior at max volume.  My poor parents never understood.

Don't worry, not all people like LZ.. Perhaps you are one of those that prefers to listen to say ... Engelbert Humperdinck ?

Indeed there is.  It seems you feel your taste in music is fact and not your own opinion.

There are a few songs that I remember hearing for the first time because of their immediate impact.  This is one: my friend's dad's turntable, in a den, October, 13 YO.  Incredible.

One of the best Zep tunes, and was the model for Stairway to Heaven, according to JP Jones.  Easy chord progression too.  It stands up well even 43 years later.

Both are excellent songs, but for personal reasons, this one hurts today.
 

there's only a few sets of chord progressions - with some limited variations - that actually sound good.

I wonder whether over the years, major contemporary songs will gain this sort of legendary status among old timers?!
Or maybe this song and many from its age are so revered for their what they pioneered?

Led Zepplin released this LP and Led Zepplin II in this same year - 1969.

Hilarious.  I still like this song, No quarter and a few others but LZ was so overplayed when I was growing up in the late 1960s and early 1970s.  I suffered major fatigue.

That and in the bombastic category, LZ surprassed all peers of the period.

Holy crap, Bill.  Awesome setlist this morning.  Just what I needed for my walk to work!
 
Haha, you posted that on October 28, 2009 and now I'm hearing the exact same set in the middle of the night on December 13, 2010!

When Bill recycles the sets, at least he recycles the best ones!

Summer of 75 June to August, 18 yrs. old, hitchiked from NY to CA and back.  My first true love played this all the time while i was gone - she was beautiful.  Know it sounds corny as hell, but it sure evokes a lot of bittersweet memories
