As a Brit, I have to say I'm proud of a lot of top bands have come out of our country. But really it's the US that started Rock n Roll, but British bands really took it to a new level. Great video sir..

[@AlexandraElorza]

I agree with you. The British bands had a deep appreciation of the pioneers of rock. 😊

[@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine]

Well said Mr-Wx! In my Top Bands list the majority are from your side of the pond brother! ❤❤❤

[@nicktherecordlover1969]

Thank you Mr Wx for sharing the British Invasion with America. So much great music to choose from and enjoy!

[@nicktherecordlover1969]

I have to say I enjoy Led Zeppelin's music more now than when I was in my early 20s. I bought the Grey and Black boxed set of all the albums on CD, and have a few early pressings of the LPs. Easier to hear it and study it on my own.

[@markastoforoff7838]

Imagine losing interest only to have the band become the biggest band of the 1970's? He must be kicking himself in the ass at that one.

[@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine]

4 Reasons: 1. Robert Plant 2. Jimmy Page 3. John Paul Jones 4. John Bonham (In No Particular Order) ❤

[@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine]

My point exactly BushCrafting! All four were co-equals! ❤❤❤

[@royceinthehouse842]

I was an immediate fan from the first moment I heard them play. They were a total game changer for me in 1969. The complete package.

[@diviningdragon]

As usual, you nailed it Michael. This was another case of the whole being greater than the sum of the parts. Each player was stellar, but when combined, magic could happen!

[@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine]

Spot on DiviningDragon! Them and the Beatles exemplified what you say here! Other too, but these 2 bands were prime examples of the sum of the parts were greater than the parts individually! ❤❤❤

[@luvbasses5487]

Zeppelin’s seed corn was Page and Plant’s love and understanding of blues and folk music. Fortunately for Jimmy, Robert knew of a drummer. Fortunately for ALL of em, John Paul decided that he’d be brought into the fold and work with them. It was an aligning of the planets to say the very least. With Jones came an extensive knowledge of how music operates and his love for Hammond Organ. It was like having two of the four Beatles in one man in your band. They had literally no competition. It was a unique entity, one that I tend to label as: the ultimate unit.

[@TigerRogers0660]

Great video Michael !! John Paul Jones is - & has always been my fave member of this band. Secret weapon indeed !!

[@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine]

Right Tiger??? I mean what an amazing musician AND composer! He blows my mind brother! ❤❤❤

[@michaelrochester48]

Definitely the most melodic of the hard rock bands of the 1970s along with deep purple. I like black Sabbath, but they were a distant third when it comes to making a great memorable tune.

[@clydekimsey7503]

Led Zeppelin never ruled the world. For this to happen, their songs would need to be appealing to everyone, regardless of age, culture and intellectual background. The only band that achieved universal consensus was the Beatles.

[@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine]

And that’s why The Beatles are #1 in my book, but LZ is #2! They owned the touring realm for over a decade, and. Took Rock into a new direction, this my choice Pedro! But yeah, The Beatles riled the world before them, and to a more varied audience brother! ❤❤❤

Mate, lots of people didnt like the Beatles. They were not loved by everyone. Same with Elvis. No act in the history of music has been loved by all. If everyone loved the Beatles why didn't each album sell billions instead of tens of millions? The Beatles biggest selling album sold about 30 million. That's just 1/10th of the population of the USA alone, nevermind the entire world.

[@jakepepper2279]

​@@lyndoncmp5751 Ignorant and arrogant Michael Jackson fanatics often claim that the whole world loves that creepy dancing skeleton, that he is universally beloved in every country in the world by billions of loyal fans. Beatles and Zeppelin supporters just as delusional and believe these heavily marketed bands also have universal acclaim because of their personal musical hero worship and publicity machines within the payola media. Of course, no musical act in history has ever had complete domination.

Dear Michael, I enjoyed this video. One of my favorite Led Zeppelin’s songs is, “The Battle of Evermore”. When I listen to this song I hear a softer side of Robert Plant. I also think that Sandy Denny added depth and beauty to the song. They were a great duo. Thanks for sharing. BTW I also agree with your comments on Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder. They were both ahead of their time. Peace.

The Battle of Evermore is Them at their very best Alexandra! I agree wholeheartedly! ❤❤❤

[@robertwheatley2471]

Zeppelin had a mystique unlike any other band which they still have 40+ years later after the band ended. Peter Grant basically laid down the law and the band weren't that accessible either which is a big reason the media disliked them but were popular among tens of millions. They were huge in spite of the media not because of them.

[@Mike-aka747]

Sabbath were better.

[@jakepepper2279]

They took songs written by other musicians, and took credit. Those thieves were as laughable as fifties revival clowns, Sha Na Na, Ded Zeppelin's concerts were full of cover material, plus rock n roll medleys, which included such ditties as "Hello Mary Lou" "Blueberry Hill" and "Roll Over Beethoven" in between the songs they officially stole.

[@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine]

I’ve covered them taking credit by Bllues masters Jake. But in the end, I feel they blossomed as a band, and as songwriters! Just my opinion brother! ❤❤❤

[@jakepepper2279]

@@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine Again, not only did they steal from blues masters, they stole from traditional folk artists as well. Maybe you can possibly say that Robert Plant blossomed as songwriter during his solo career. It is funny that one of his biggest hits was "Sea Of Love", another cover tune with Page in their short lived eighties super group, The Honeydrippers.

Please lighten up, we get it you don't like Zeppelin.​@@jakepepper2279

[@williamhiles7404]

Six tunes out of 108. And those medleys were a tribute to their musical heros. They started as a way to extend concerts after the 1st LP came out, as they felt they would be ripping the fans off by only playing for an hour. Unlike the rest of the bands the day. By '73 the medley was cut to one or two, as they had enough material to play 2 to 2.5 hour shows, and in '75 most shows averaged 3.6 hours. Unlike today and even 80s 90s 1.5 hour shows by bands that weren't near as good. And most of what you say they 'stole' were a line or two of lyrics. Robert's fault. I'm sure he thought he was paying Tribute, but you shouldn't take full credit. And they only wound up having to give credit on 4 of those tunes. What about the Beatles? I just watched a video today on KZbin where it was shown they actually stole 13 tunes outright. And there are a lot of other bands, whether they were called out for it or not, such as the Beach Boys and others. Many others. So bleat on about the same old whine about Led Zeppelin, greatest Rock Band of that Era, and still are today. Sure is funny they've sold well over 300 million records. Haha.😮😅😅😊 LedHed Pb 207.20 🎶 🎸 🎹

[@jakepepper2279]

@@williamhiles7404 I've counted way more than six stolen songs. Heck, even with The Yardbirds, Page was "Stealin, stealin" from the Memphis Jug Band on The Yardbirds "Little Games" album. Ded Zeppelin sold well over 300 million albums but failed to pay such artists as Memphis Minnie, Jake Holmes and Spirit. All I ever read is the same old excuses for these thieves. They did long concerts because they were a glorified cover band that dipped into the oldies. Again, they can't be the greatest if they did not write their own material. Yes, I know The Beatles were also called out for plagiarism. The Beach Boys admitted they stole from Chuck Berry, who himself stole all his hits from band member, Johnnie Johnson. Educate yourself, padre.
