Led Zeppelin: The Band That Got Me into Rock

By: Chris Tolliver, Assistant Creative Corner Editor

If you know anything about me, I am an avid music listener. You can often see me walking around campus with headphones on – I almost always have them with me. My friends can attest to this. One of the many bands or artists that I’m listening to is Led Zeppelin which I have been listening to since 2021 and they are one of my favorite rock bands. They are the band that got me into rock music in the first place. I don’t really know how to explain how they’re my favorite other than the fact that I love their music and that I think it’s really good. While many people might say that they’re overrated, I feel like they’re popular for a reason. While I have several favorite songs and often can’t choose just one, one of them would be the song “No Quarter.” I just think it’s a really cool sounding song, especially with the keyboard. If I were to recommend three songs to someone who has never listened to Led Zeppelin, I would say the song “In My Time of Dying” if they can stomach long songs, “Since I’ve Been Loving” and “Down by the Seaside.” They’re all good songs and they give a good sneak peak into the band.
