Good records - from my point of view, where I grew up which was Led Zeppelin and Jethro Tull... bands that were pushing the envelope a little - musically and in production.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We were lucky in the days of Led Zeppelin. Each album was different. We didn't have to continue a formula or produce a certain number of singles. Because, in those days, radio was still playing albums. That was really good.
Our intent with Led Zeppelin was not to get caught up in the singles' market, but to make albums where you could really flex your muscles - your musical intellect, if you like - and challenge yourself.
Led Zeppelin was a band that would change things around substantially each time it played... We were becoming tighter and tighter, to the point of telepathy.
I don't think drums had ever sounded so big until Led Zeppelin's first album.
The Yardbirds folded in 1968, and within a handful of months, Led Zeppelin was not only a band but also a very successful one.
The thing about Led Zeppelin was that it was always four musicians at the top of their game, but they could play like a band.
I really don't listen to Led Zeppelin that much.
I was 8 years old when I started listening to Lynyrd Skynyrd and Bad Company and Led Zeppelin.
I plead total ignorance to Led Zeppelin. I am totally in the dark about them.
I think the greatest records we've ever heard, from Zeppelin to Purple to Sabbath to The Who, were all recorded in the studio live.
