I finally took the plunge and bought two Led Zeppelin albums, with limited success (it turns out Hanna had the symbol album all along). As I suspected, they totally rock. Or something else: I’d almost say they’re more hard blues than hard rock. Nobody told me Queen and Zeppelin were so similar! Or perhaps I’m the only one who thinks that they are.
Led Zeppelin have “Led” instead of “Lead” in their name because they wanted it to be obvious that they’re made out of lead, as opposed to being the leading zeppelin. True fact! But of course now the only correct interpretation of their name is that they’re a zeppelin that has someone leading it. How embarrassing! Somehow these kinds of things don’t occur to rock stars.
I’m probably going to have to buy some more now. This was actually the first time in ages I’d spent money on records (the prices are shocking), but when I contemplated how much money I’ve spent on alcohol in the meantime it didn’t seem like such a splurge.
