The protesting and complaining was done and people wanted action…and hard rock.Recent Examples on the Web: Verb Temperatures begin to warm on Friday and Saturday as Detroit breaks into the 50s with both days having highs of 51 degrees.Īlanna Williams, Detroit Free Press, 3 Nov.
The music of Led Zeppelin represented a time period of change and activity. During Led Zeppelin’s peak, the troops were withdrawn from Vietnam, the Cold War warmed up as the US and Russia slowed down weapons development, and Watergate, Stagflation, and the oil crisis occurred. The counterculture movement had peaked and change was coming. This shift occurred along with the change in United States history. They were many things but everything they did was artistic. This shift has led to the rock ‘n roll feel we have today. It is always difficult to truly put your finger on the cultural significance of a band but Led Zeppelin certainly is the leader of the shift from the psychedelic era of the 1960’s to the sexually driven rock music that was based on masculinity and a more centralized movement. The Led Zeppelin Project summed it up perfectly In 2004, the album was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. In 2003, Led Zeppelin was ranked at number 29 on Rolling Stone 's list of “The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time”, and kept that position after the list was updated in 2012.
First released on 12 January 1969 in the United States and on 31 March 1969 in the United Kingdom by Atlantic Records, Led Zeppelin's debut self-titled album was recorded in October 1968 at Olympic Studios in London, and established their fusion style of both blues and rock music.Īlthough the album was not critically well-received when first released, it was commercially successful, and critics have since come to view it in a more favourable light.
