Yeah these guys are my favorite

[@CuriousGeorge1111]

Agreed. These guys understand songs fast, appreciate them, and give great insights into writing, production, etc. Like how Steely Dan puts rising chord crescendos in their songs. Keep it up guys, I love it.!

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.

[@tnightwolf]

I'm 40 and despite Led Zeppelin being my personal favorite, there are what i call "Big 4" that i'll always be happy to listen to anytime (because to me they're the best bands ever): - Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, AC/DC and Queen

[@darrend6095]

You know why Zeppelin is the best? Because every sing you hear you wish you could share it with someone and they feel the way you feel

[@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!

[@AirplayBeats]

🤔🤔🤔 that makes a lot of sense why they sound better than everyone else.

[@papacarl2002]

[@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]

Thanks for watching Steven. What a great story!! Well worth the $80!!

[@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! 🤘🏻

[@geoffsullivan7902]

Too soon for favorites…. and they really never wrote a bad song…🤘😎❤️🎶❤️

[@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.

Hey Henrietta ❗ That was a great thoughtful narrative.Were you or are you in the music business ❓ You write like someone that really studies musicality.

@@elisaabolafia9542 Hi there! Thank you for the kind words! No, I'm not in the music business in any way/shape/form; I'm merely a "conscientious consumer" and a slightly potty Zep fan! 😆You, however, having been around many aspects of the biz must have some real humdinger stories to tell! That would be great fun to listen to! I really appreciate La and Che for being willing to do a full catalogue treatment; *that* is rare - plus, they listen, appreciate, and are genuine - clearly not a couple of no substance "like/comment/subscribe" clickbait posers. I hope La and Che forgive me for mentioning another reactor, but if you haven't checked out Soul Train Bro and his Zep reactions, you must. He doesn't do reactions anymore but he also did their entire catalogue. A couple of gold standard channels here.

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.

A top 5 for me to be sure. The bass line in this song is brilliant.

[@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.

[@guidosarducci]

Thank you! I was beginning to wonder if anyone else realized that.............

[@SK-lk3iu]

It's the arrangement. Rick Beato breaks down this song . He says it is voice, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, drums and bass sublimely arranged. The percussion is much discussed with a guitar case thought to be the most likely "instrument". Bonzo playing to be part of the whole which is the other side of his greatness -knowing when to dazzle and when to hold back.
