Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Bonham, John Paul Jones
Only one of the greatest rock bands of all time. Yikes, where do I start? You're sure to find at least one Zeppelin song on every great 70s style movie soundtrack, because they are, undeniably, the epitome of pure rock and the sound of a generation. As the influence of many greats like Jeff Buckley, Black Sabbath, Nirvana, Rush, and so many more, they are a staple of any true music lover's music collection.
12 albums... Awesome cover art
Lyrically magical...
"Fool In The Rain"
Well there's a light in your eye that keeps shining
Like a star that can't wait for the night
I hate to think I've been blinded baby
Why can't I see you tonight?
And the warmth of your smile starts a-burnin'
And the thrill of your touch gives me fright
And I'm shaking so much, really yearning
Why don't you show up, make it all right?
Yeah, it's all right.
And if you promised you'd love so completely
and you said you would always be true
You swore that you would never leave me, baby:
What ever happened to you?
And you thought it was only in movies
As you wish all your dreams would come true
It ain't the first time believe me, baby
I'm standin here feeling blue
Yeah I'm blue
Now I will stand in the rain on the corner
I'll watch the people go shuffling downtown
Another ten minutes no longer
And then I'm turning around
The clock on the wall's moving slower
My heart it sinks to the ground
And the storm that I thought would blow over
Clouds the light of the love that I found
Now my body is starting to quiver
And the palms of my hands getting wet
I've got no reason to doubt you baby,
It's all a terrible mess
I'll run in the rain till I'm breathless
When I'm breathless I'll run till I drop, hey
The thoughts of a fool's kind of careless
I'm just a fool waiting on the wrong block, oh yeah
Light of the love that I found...
"What Is And What Should Never Be"
And if I say to you tomorrow. Take my hand, child, come with me.
It's to a castle I will take you, where what's to be, they say will be.
Catch the wind, see us spin, sail away, leave today, way up high in the sky.
But the wind won't blow, you really shouldn't go, it only goes to show
That you will be mine, by takin' our time.
And if you say to me tomorrow, oh what fun it all would be.
Then what's to stop us, pretty baby. But What Is And What Should Never Be.
So if you wake up with the sunrise, and all your dreams are still as new,
And happiness is what you need so bad, girl, the answer lies with you.
Oh the wind won't blow and we really shouldn't go and it only goes to show.
Catch the wind, we're gonna see it spin, we're gonna...sail, little girl
Everybody I know seems to know me well
but they're never gonna know that I move like hell.
You know a Zeppelin song when you hear one. Face melting guitar riffs, intense vocals, and purposefully placed drums. Man, they're definitely in the top ten reasons I was born in the wrong era. Rock on.
