    Led Zeppelin is the first Led Zeppelin album, released in 1969. I love the whole sound of the album and I think it is the best Zeppelin album and started their amazing run of music in the 1960’s and 1970’s. I think the reason the album is so good is because the band is really just a collection of the most talented player of each respective instrument at the time. Jimmy Page, John Bonham, John Paul Jones, and Robert Plant are each arguably the most talented player of their respective instruments (guitar, drums, bass, and vocals). It shows in their music, which is mostly rooted in the blues.…

    In the book All Shook Up: How Rock ‘n’ Roll Changed America, by Glenn Altschuler, touches on the development of rock ‘n’ roll between 1945 and 1955 cautiously observing that it is a “social construction not a musical conception (Page 27).” This definition of rock ‘n’ roll gives him space to focus on arguable topics much as exploration, and, in some cases, combining of differing styles, cultures, and social values. In the book the first three chapters focus on those argued areas by looking at generation differences, race, and sexuality. In his discussion of race, he obscures the traditional view that white artists did damage to African American artists when he says that in some a way it helped lift them by giving them more radio time and publicity.…
