When talking about Led Zeppelin it can be almost impossible to choose a favorite piece of work from them. For me this is an easy task, because I feel very strongly about their 1969 debut record Simply titled Led Zeppelin I. To understand the power of this record we must first understand the guitar! Jimmy used a gifted telecaster on the entire record, which gives it a distinct bluesy/ trebley sound which can’t be found on any other record. John is using a four pic drum kit, rather than some gigantic thing where the toms are more for show! This is what makes the record so magical! They just played, no commercial hype, no super rockstar mentality, just four dudes jamming out amazing songs! The drum triplets used throughout the record are prominent in many spots, which makes a drummer like myself so excited because they are just so awesome! John really makes use of that four piece! (If you don’t believe me skip to the end of Dazed and Confused then give me a call!) To wrap this up, this record is much different than other Zeppelin records for many factors, not saying they had other great work, they just fell into the hype of Rock, and they for sure let that stardom engulf them!
