Day Twenty-Six of the December Diary 2011 Project This years Theme... 'MUSIC' %-)
With only FIVE days left of the December Diary... and tomorrow being allocated to my Annual Catchup with my dear friends Toni & Bruce. I've saved my FOUR biggest faves for last... Starting with Led Zeppelin
Without a doubt... they were my FAVOURITE band in my teenage years... and still remain one of them!
The first album I remember buying of theirs was "In Through the Outdoor" - which came out in 1979 when I was 13. (That photo above is of me @ 15 in my Led Zep t-shirt that I wore religiously! LOL!) %-)
All Of My Love was the hit single. I LOVED it... and just LOVED that album - thrashed it religiously. Gosh does it bring back memories! Fool in the Rain was another fave from it... Hot Dog too! %-)
My Brother.. who is 10 years older than me was also a big fan of theirs... in fact I was to discover when I was a bit older that he actually got to see them in concert! He is a fabulous guitarist himself, (influenced by the likes of Jimmy Page, Keith Richards, Jimi Hendrix and many other guitar greats from that era). He was in a few bands back in those day too. He did that fabulous pen drawing there in the middle. It's a copy of 'The Hermit' fro the inside sleeve of the 'Led Zeppelin IV' album, and is on Mum's lounge wall.
I just love SO MANY of their songs.... that it's almost impossible to pick out just a few. I guess I could say..... go watch the movie "The Song Remains The Same" - which came out in 1976. It gives you a bit of everything... Music... great visuals... and a bit of an insight into the lives all four members- Robert Plant. Jimmy Page John Bonham and John Paul Jones. I don't know HOW many times I saw it when I was young... and now have it on DVD.. so can watch it whenever I'm in the Mood. %-)
I can't speak highly enough of this band...
And always get great enjoyment whenever I listen to them again! %-)
