Interesting article from Gibson on 10 Led Zeppelin Songs That Deserve More
Attention. Given
corporate radio has reduced their canon to a handful of songs, the list should
be much longer, but no matter.
Even the most ardent Zeppelin fan would admit that some tunes are less
approachable than others, but the list serves as a great reminder that this
band had simply incredible range. They
covered pretty much every genre of music that was even remotely popular during
their day, and pushed us into a few new directions while they were at it. They covered more real estate than anyone
else.
Most bands find a sound and then hammer it into the ground. The best bands challenge themselves, explore,
experiment, investigate and instigate.
Sure, these guys always sounded like Led Zeppelin, but they had the
range of about 10 different bands.
