Get the Led out pt2

My last post was on the band Led Zeppelin and I’m going to continue my blog on the band.  I left off with talking about the members of the band and now I’m going to go over their huge accomplishments over their musical career.  When the band first got together it was around 1967 and they started playing little shows and gigs.  The band was looked down by other artists, in fact Led Zeppelin got their name because certain musical artists said that the band would go down like a led balloon.  So the band ended up changing it up a little bit and called themselves Led Zeppelin.  One of the bands first song was “Communication Breakdown”. The song was released around 1969 and right away the song was a hit.  Soon after this they released their first self titled album “Led Zeppelin” and right away it was accepted by the world and it was looked upon like something that was never seen before.  It included their single “Communication Breakdown” and their huge hit “Dazed and Confused”.  The band was then looked at then just any other band at the time.  They were something totally different than any other band that was out.  They had a type of rock music that was never seen before.  Their music was a collaboration of different types of genres of music.  Jimmy Page with his influence in blues, John Paul Jones with his funky jazz bass beats, and John Bonham with the drum beats of something never seen before.  After their success of their first album the band released their second album titled “Led Zeppelin II”.  Which included hits like “Whole Lotta Love” , “Ramble On”, and “Moby Dick”.  Their second album was even greater success and reached number 1 in the US and Great Britain music charts.  By now everyone knew that this band isn’t going any where and that their music was going to chance rock and roll forever.  The band was touring the world and the whole world was able to enjoy the Zeppelin experience.  After touring and getting their name out to the world the band again released an other album this time titled “Led Zeppelin II”.  This album was recorded in a cottage in a small town.  The album had a very acoustic mellow feel to it.  This album showed how the band didn’t just have to stick with heavy rock, it was able to go outside the box and play anything they really wanted.  Their next album to me is their best and biggest album which if u can guess it was titled “Led Zeppelin IV”.  It included many of their career hits including “Stairway to Heaven” which is looked at as one the best rock songs ever.  There is still a lot more to the band that I want to talk about so I’m going to have to make this blog a 3 part and continue with Led Zeppelin on my next blog so make sure not to miss the history of Zeppelin.
