Το όνομα αυτού….
Ξεκινώντας χρονολογικά το 1969 κυκλοφόρησε ο πρώτος τους δίσκος με τον τίτλο Led Zeppelin I.
Αυτό το κόσμημα της κλασικής rock, έχει πουλήσει μέχρι τώρα δέκα εκατομμύρια αντίτυπα…-πως είπατε;;;;-
Δεν γνωρίζω αν αυτή η εμπορική επιτυχία οφείλεται μόνο στα τραγούδια του, ή αν έπαιξε ρόλο και ποιοι ήταν αυτοί που το δημιούργησαν, η όλα μαζί…
Αλλά σίγουρα αυτός ο δίσκος, είναι από αυτούς που βάζεις να παίζει από την αρχή –είτε σε βινύλιο, είτε στο pc- ανάβεις ένα κερί, αρπάζεις μια πολυθρόνα, κλείνεις τα φώτα, έχεις δίπλα σου ένα μπιρόνι και αφήνεσαι να σε παρασύρει η ροκιά, η μπλουζιά, η φολκιά, η ατμόσφαιρα, ο λυρισμός, η απίστευτη δεξιότητα του Page, η φωνάρα του Plant η παικτούρα των τυμπάνων Bonham, οι μπασογραμμές του Jones…και μέχρι να πιεις το μπιρόνι σου –συνιστάται μισόλιτρη παγωμένη pils- έχεις περιπλανηθεί σε άλλους κόσμους….
Δικαίως λοιπόν αυτός ο δίσκος έφτασε το νούμερο 1 στην Ισπανία, νούμερο 6 στην Αγγλία και νούμερο 10 στο billboard200, που συνολικά έχει γίνει 15 φορές πλατινένιος, 5 φορές χρυσός και μια φορά διαμαντένιος και που έχει ψηφιστεί το 2004 ο 29ος καλύτερος δίσκος από τα 500 των καλύτερων δίσκων όλων των εποχών!
Το track list είναι το εξής:
1. Good Times Bad Times
2. Babe I’m Gonna Leave You
3. You Shook Me
4. Dazed And Confused
5. Your Time Is Gonna Come
6. Black Mountain Side
7. Communication Breakdown
8. I Can Quit You Baby
9. How Many More Times
No more to say…
N’joy
In the days of my youth
I was told what it means to be a man
Now I've reached that age
I've tried to do all those things the best I can
No matter how I try
I find my way into the same old jam
Good Times, bad times, you know I've had my share
Well, my woman left home for a brown-eyed man
but I still don't seem to care
Sixteen, I fell in love with a girl as sweet as could be It only took a couple of days 'till she was rid of me She swore that she would be all mine and love me 'till the end but when I whispered in her ear, I lost another friend, oh
I know what it means to be alone I sure do wish I was at home I don't care what the neighbors say I'm gonna love you each and every day
You can feel the beat within my heart
Realize, sweet babe, we ain't ever gonna part
I feel good when I look at you mama
Babe, baby, baby, Im gonna leave you.
I said baby, you know Im gonna leave you.
Ill leave you when the summertime,
Leave you when the summer comes arollin
Leave you when the summer comes along.
Baby, baby, I dont wanna leave you,

Ο δεύτερος χρονολογικά δίσκος με την ίδια ημερομηνία, με το ντεμπούτο, αλλά μερικά χρόνια αργότερα –και συγκεκριμένα- το 1976 είχε τίτλο Presence
Δεν έχει την ίδια επιρροή με τον Ι, αλλά έχει επίσης μοναδικά τραγούδια…
Όπως τα Achilles Last Stand, For Your Life, Nobody Fault But Mine και Tea For One –που είναι κατά τύχη και τα αγαπημένα μου-
Δεν έχει κάποια αξιοσημείωτη ιστορία ο δίσκος, πέρα από το γεγονός ότι ο Plant το καλοκαίρι που προηγήθηκε των ηχογραφήσεων είχε ένα σοβαρό τροχαίο ατύχημα στην Ρόδο με αποτέλεσμα να ακυρώσουν την παγκόσμια περιοδεία τους για την προώθηση του δίσκου
Μπορεί να μην είχε εισπρακτικά την ίδια επιτυχία του I αλλά έφτασε στο no1 του billboard200 και 3 φορές πλατινένιος, και no1 στην Αγγλία και πλατινένιος…
Το track list είναι το εξής:
1. Achilles Last Stand
2. For Your Life
3. Royal Orleans
4. Nobody’s Fault But Mine
5. Candy Store Rock
6. Hots On For Nowhere
7. Teas For One
Οι Led Zeppelin ήταν είναι και θα είναι οι Robert Plant –φωνή, φωνάρα- Jimmy Page –κιθάρα- John Paul Jones –μπάσο- και John Bonham –τύμπανα-
N’joy
It wasn't even morning when they told us we should go
And as I turned to you, you smiled at me, how could we say no?
With all the fun to have, to live the dreams we always had
With all the songs to sing, when we at last return again
Sending off a glancing kiss, to those who claim they know
Below the streets that steam and hiss, the devil's in his hole
Oh to sail away, To sandy lands and other days
Oh to trust the dream, Hides inside and never seen.
Into the sun the south the north, at last the birds have flown
The shackles of commitment fell, in pieces on the ground
Oh to ride the wind, To tread the air above the din
Oh to laugh aloud, With dancing eyes we caught the crowds, yeah
To seek the man whose pointing hand, The giant step unfolds
To guide us from the curving path, That churns up into stone
If one bell should ring, in celebration for a king
So fast the heart should beat, As proud the head with heavy feet, yeah
Days went by when you and I, bathed in eternal summers glow
As far away and distant, Our mutual child did grow
Oh the sweet refrain, Soothes the soul and calms the pain
Oh Albion remains, sleeping now to rise again
Wandering and wanderings, What place to rest the search
The mighty arms of Atlas, Hold the heavens from the earth
Oh The mighty arms of Atlas,
Hold the heavens from the earth
From the earth... Earth…
I know the way, know the way, know the way, know the way
I know the way, know the way, know the way, know the way
Oh the mighty arms of Atlas Hold the heavens from the earth.
From the earth.
Well, well, oh, hoh, hoh
You said I was the only, with my lemon in your hand
Uh-oh, uh-oh-hoh
Exhibition is your habit, emotion second-hand
Uh-oh, uh-oh
Had to pull away to save me
Well, maybe next time around-a, oh
And she said
"Don'tcha want, a-don'tcha want go get, go get cocaine"
Hadn't planned to, could not stand'a try it, fry it, ow
Now, now, now, now, yeah
Wooo-oooh-oooh-oooh-ooh-ooh
Heard a cry for mercy, uh, in the city of the damned-a
Uh-oh, baby, damned
In the pits you go no lower, the next stop's underground
A-ho, how low underground
You wanna know, is it quite over
To fame it deals a losin' hand
And I said, "Didn't mean to, did not a-mean to fluff it
You didn't plan it, you overran it, aah-ha-ha-how, yeah"
Do you wanna, do you want, do ya, d-do
Do you, would you wanna
Do you wanna, do you wanna, do you, d-do
Do it when you wanna
When you blow it, babe, you got to blow it right
Baby, if you fake it, mama, baby, fake with all your might
When you fake it, mama
please-a, a-fake it right for yourself, babe
When ya fa-fa-fa-fake it, baby
You're fakin' it for your life, for your life
for your life, for your life
Do you, do you, do you, do you, do you
Do you, would you wanna
Do you, do you, do you, do you, do you
Do it when you wanna
Oh, like to help ya, baby
but I don't know what to do-ooh-ooh, yeah
Sometime, baby
Nothin' I can do-ooh-ooh, yeah
With the fine lines of the crystal payin' through your nose
And when they couldn't resist ya
I said, "Just go with the flow"
And now your stage is empty
Pull down the curtain, baby, please
Fold up your show
Hadn't planned to, could not stand to fry in it
I hadn't planned it, I overran it
Fry it for your life, for your life
Nobody's fault but mine
It's nobody's fault but mine
Try to save my soul tonight
Oh, it's nobody's fault but mine
Devil he told me to roll
Devil he told me to roll roll roll roll
How to roll the log tonight
Nobody's fault but mine
Brother he showed me the gong
Brother he showed me the ding dong ding dong
How to kick that gong to life
Oh, it's nobody's fault but mine
Got a monkey on my back
M-M-Monkey on my back back back back
Gonna change my ways tonight
Nobody's fault but mine
I will get down rollin' tonight
N-N-N-Nobody's fault.
How come twenty four hours, Baby sometimes seem to slip into days?
Oh twenty-four hours, Baby sometimes seem to slip into days
A minute seems like a lifetime, Oh baby when I feel this way
Sittin, lookin at the clock, time moves so slow
I've been watchin for the hands to move
Until I just can't look no more
How come twenty four hours, Baby sometimes seems to slip into days?
A minute seems like a lifetime, Baby when I feel this way.
To sing a song for you, I recall you used to say
"Oh baby this one's for we two", Which in the end is you anyway
How come twenty four hours, Baby sometimes slip into days?
A minute seems like a lifetime, baby when I feel this way.
There was a time that I stood tall, In the eyes of other men
But by my own choice I left you woman, And now I can't get back again
How come twenty-four hours, sometimes slip into days?
A minute seems like a lifetime, Baby when I feel this way
A minute seems like a lifetime ... Oh Baby
When I feel this way...I feel this way
