I was probably 5 or 6 the first time I remember hearing The Beatles. My dad listened to all the great classic rock groups around the house, while I was growing up. Still listens, too. While I do enjoy modern music, too, my preference is classic rock now. It’s just so much richer than most things today’s artists bring to the table.

[@Sirknight47]

1971 I was 15 when I first heard this album. My best friend played it for me on his 8 track tape player. I couldn't believe what I was hearing, I had never heard anything like it. We listened to it over and over that night on a tobacco farm in Hinesville Georgia, I was visiting him from Miami Fl. , ( you want to hear it again, "yes"). At the end that night I bought his 8 track tape player, the Led Zeppelin 2 tape for 80.00 dollars, it was all the money I had and I was happy to spend it all on that. Took it back home and played it for months and months . I still love hearing every song on Zeppelin 2. Great reaction you two, you both bring somethings real to your reactions. No mask or phony reactions on your part. Glad I found your channel, Thanks. Steven

[@AirplayBeats]

[@juliemanarin4127]

We couldn't get enough of Zeppelin!!

[@snakeinthegrass7443]

I was 3 in 71 so I'm trying to do the math...$80 in 1971 has got to be around $1200 today, I'm guessing. Probably more. That's some serious dedication! 🤘🏻

There are many bands and artists from different genres of music (from Drum n Bass, Hip-Hop, Trip-Hop, Pop, Punk, Rock, Metal into Grunge, Samba, Bossanova, Electro and even Classical) but Led Zeepelin will probably remain as my favorite band ever.

[@clasmaster1471]

[@esdel1955]

Best song on the album. Still gets me to this day. Zeppelin spawned a whole lotta imitators, but they played mostly 1/8 note rock. Zeppelin played 1/16 notes; that’s where da funk at!

Yep, greatest rock band of all time. So cool to see reactions of ones who never heard this music. Rock on.

[@henriettaskolnick4445]

I love this song; the overdubbing is rich, lush, and tasteful. The tapping is Bonzo pattering on something - no one knows what (the 3 have been asked and no one remembers). Some say he's tapping on an empty guitar case, some say his knees, or a stool/chair and I'm sure there's other theories as well. Personally, I think it's an empty guitar case. I love how the acoustic guitar remains throughout even after the electric guitar comes in and those bass punches are killer. According to Jimmy, that smooth, sustaining violin-like tone you mentioned was achieved by him using the neck pickup on his Les Paul with the treble cut and as well as using a sustain-producing effects unit. There are isolated tracks on KZbin of the acoustic guitar, Jonesy's bass, and I think some of Robert's vocals. Near the end, Jimmy had asked Robert to improvise more lyrics, which is why you can hear him continue through the entire fade out. This is one of their earliest songs where their richness of sound, musicality, and composition shine. It shows a bit of their musical evolution, ingenuity, and confidence to go for something a bit different. Rest assured; you guys are going to have a lot of "favorites" so don't worry about trying to pick just one. Their music is for moods and emotions and you'll find extra meaning in how you apply listening to them.

He doesn't do reactions anymore but he also did their entire catalogue. A couple of gold standard channels here.

[@kyleanspach3457]

This is my favorite Led Zepplin song too. Unofficially referred to as "Bilbo's Song" by some, Ramble On is an homage to "The Hobbit" Bilbo Baggins of J.R.R. Tolkien's' Lord of the Rings'. His baby (a girl so fair) is not a girl at all; it's the one ring of power. Bilbo finds it "in the darkest depths of Mordor I met a girl so fair, but Gollum and the evil one (Sauron) crept up and slipped away with her." Misty Mountain Hop is another awesome Tolkien inspired Zep song.

[@SK-lk3iu]
