[@Surfishy888]

@@-jacinta- I lived through the 50s, 60s, 70s, etc., I love all different kinds of music, except opera and Led Zeppelin. Just have never been a fan of their particular kind of music. There's emotive singing and then there's screaching. Bon Jovi's singing on Living On A Prayer is better than Led Zeppelin any day. That tortured high pitched screaching just grates on the ear. Plus, what was described as some kind of inventive and creative guitar playing was only done by strumming of different chord changes, that's all...no magic fingers at all. I think Zep's fan base are making much more 'ado about nothing' than is necessary. Just my opinion.

[@williamgates2312]

I listened to all this music as a kid, I'm 54. The sad thing was at that time growing up on the south side of Chicago you couldn't admit to listening and liking this music. Music was so segregated back then. There was rock music stations for white kids and R&B stations for blacks, and we weren't suppose to cross over. I remember hiding in my room with my transistor radio listening to these songs. It wasn't until high school that i realized whit kids did the exact same thing to hear our music.

[@williamgates2312]

I made sure when i had my kids i always played the songs i loved for them to hear and insisted they shared their favorite music with me even if I didn't understand it all the time

[@williamgates2312]

@Scott ?????? yes I've heard that version a really like it. The thing to remember is Chicago is very segregated even now. Its just the way of things there. I went to catholic schools my entire youth. I went to an all boys high school and I had a white girl friend that went to an all girls high school. We went to a Jacksons concert and I bought her a poster. She called me a week later in tears because her father not only tore down the Michael Jackson poster but all her posters and took all her records and tapes while she was at school. Then told her we were bad influences and couldn't see us/me anymore. That only lasted about a month but it just shows you what some not all went through during that time.

[@rodciferri9626]

I haven't seen one reaction to it and I search for it now and then because it's a great song. If you haven't seen it already, there's a track on KZbin (sometimes) that somehow got out of Led Zeppelin's studio - it's an isolated drum track - Bonzo recording his unbelievable drum part for the song. You can barely hear the piano that comes in during a pause in the drums that's ended by the whistle - I think that might be sound leaking from headphones Bonzo was wearing when he was playing the drum part.

Sure, but on the other hand, I’m going to guess there’s a lot of grown people that have never heard Eric B. & Rakim’s Paid In Full which changed the sound of hiphop and redefined what an MC was. It’s preference, environment, exposure... My Dad listened to Floyd and Zep. My Mom and my Step listened mainly to Jazz due to them being in a quartet.
