Classic rock from vintage vinyl for Pledge Drive!

"Led Zeppelin" by Led Zeppelin (1969)
CLASSIC ALBUM OF THE WEEK
Led Zeppelin "Led Zeppelin"  1969 (UK)
For this week's pledge drive special, we are featuring scratchy vintage vinyl albums from 1969 for the 50th anniversary of that epochal year in music. Of the many legendary albums released that year, this was among the most important, for it marked the debut of arguably the most important and popular classic rock band of all time. The Beatles and Rolling Stones were the two most popular groups of the groovy 1960's, and Cream and The Who blazed the trail for ultraloud guitar-bass-drum power trio instrumental lineups, but Zep took things to the next level as the burning blimp of time crashed into the 1970's. Four iconic virtuouso musicians who were among the best of all time at their respective instruments (I would definitely include Robert Plant's voice as an instrument). Cutting-edge yet organic and "funky" recording and production techniques from main brain Jimmy Page. Still massively popular 50 years later as every young generation of kids interested in rock music gravitate to their obvious greatness - is there any band that is "more classic rock" than the mighty Led Zep?
