Why is Led Zeppelin's Nobody's Fault But Mine not on classic
rock radio's playlist?
It's got it all: a blues base under a hard driving rock tune, vintage Page guitar riffs, an exotic melodic hook that hints at somewhere either south or east of the Mediterranean, pounding syncopation from Bonzo ...
No, the hook isn't as instantly gripping as Whole Lotta Love, the blues isn't as hypnotic as When The Levee Breaks, it isn't as exotic as Kashmir, and the grandeur doesn't sweep as much as Stairway To Heaven. But it's got bits of all that and more.
Another example of how corporate radio narrows our taste and numbs our brains.
Try to save your soul tonight.
