Bands like this are never more. Nothing new on the radio will ever have this kind of longevity.

[@SonicRave1]

That’s because good music isn’t played on the radio right now. It’s all being released independently, so you don’t have a recording company pushing out to all the corporate radio stations. Now you have to search for what you are into. Streaming services are great for discovering new music. Then you go and buy their music from them directly so they get paid.

[@donsurlylyte]

they were the biggest band in the world, at a time when it was possible to fill stadia. music is splintered now in so many media and directions, unlikely to have it happen again like that.

Still one of the greatest songs of all time. From start to finish, it evokes such emotions. Robert Plant is the only person that can sing this song, beautifully and soulfully. The rythm of the guitar and the accompanying of the mandolin are a true symbol of harmony and balance. A song that brings a peaceful feeling to the soul. Watch an autumn sunset with this song and see life in a different light. Quietly take the crisp air in and let the melody and the words of this great song whisk you away. You will feel better. Cheers everyone.
