I was 16 in’76 when I finally got to go to a public high school. I had been subjected to catholic schools before that and private school for grades 9 and 10. I had strict parents and no stereo; we listened to adult am radio. I met a friend named Mike Wilhelm and the past was swept away like a tsunami. He exposed me to Zep, Allmans,Zappa, etc. I owe him my life really, because it had been so mundane and insulated previously; I had no idea how cool music could really be. Anyway, the ‘list’ will always be subjective and dependant on one’s mood at the time. here’s my top 15 (I should really consider the matter for a few days, but…) 1.Stairway; still inconcievable that I hadn’t heard it until ’76; when the movie came out I was stunned.2. Achillies; that longing for lasting adventure, and great fade out.3. That’s the way;a seriously beautiful tune with a steel solo that just seems to cry out. 4. Tangerine; the girlfriend that was lost such a long time ago. 5. Tea for One; The last girlfriend lost. 6. No Quarter (live) fantastic organ and guitar solos that leave the last stanza almost isolated and alone.7.Nobody’s Fault; screaming harmonica and searing guitar.8. Ramble On; when I read Tolkien, I understood why Zep haunts me (in a nice way) to this day. 9. Whole lotta love; great to listen to high, and so completely unique. 10. Dazed and Confused(studio or live) frenetic energy that nearly never stops.11.In the light; a true song of hope that utilizes Page’s genius for sound,jones’ breaks sound similar to those in Carousalambra.12.Thank You; was going to be my wedding song, but never got there, yet.13. When the levee breaks; great slide that understates the drums perfectly.14. Over the hills; the sense of naivity and yearning for open vistas still calls out even as one has gotten much older.15. In the Evening; a song for those who’s lives are immeshed with a soul/life partner, maybe some day for me as well. Thank’s Mike, without your influence, I’d probably be dead by now, or wishing I was.

Led Zeppelin as the most mystifying Rock And Roll Bands of all time ? You just ain’t kidding on that way of describing them. Read up on what started happening to the band after lead guitarist Jimmy Page bought the mansion that was once owned by the historically famed occultist Aleister Crowley. Its darn right creepy.

I am really glad that “Achilles Last Stand” made it to this list as that is to me the quintessential Zeppelin song. Its lengthy but as a very true heavy metal song in the sense of its musical structure. Its been rumored that the rock song “Barracuda” by the rock band Heart “lifted” this song musically at the beginning. If you listen to “Barracuda” and then the part of “Achilles Last Stand” when drummer John Bonham breaks into the song with slap of his drums, it does have an incredibly uncanny likeness. But then again Ann & Nancy Wilson of Heart worshipped the ground that Zeppelin walked on. So who knows for sure…….
