@moonbussaid @David-Burton Yeah, Led Zep was the real deal. Saw them live in San Francisco in the 70s. Awesome stadium rockers.
Last time I wrote a post about Led Zeppelin was in an argument with @divegeester whether it is proper to say "Led Zeppelin" or "the MIGHTY Led Zeppelin". There was a local guy on FM radio here who, every time he announced a Led Zep tune, he called them "the MIGHTY Led Zeppelin". This has always stuck with me.

I have no recollection of this, but I’ll take your word for it.
But being a Led Zeppelin purist I would have argued for “Led Zeppelin”.

I was born the year after they broke up following the death of John Bonham. Thank goodness for classic radio. Now I can hear their stuff on streaming services without waiting for them to come around on the radio.

"Mighty" doesn't do them justice, not even in all caps.
I read this a couple of times years ago. Highly entertaining.
The title (in case some aren’t aware) comes from a reply Jimmy Page gave when asked what defines the essence of Led Zeppelin; he said “it’s the power, the mystery and the hammer of the gods”. Cool reply I always thought. Other sources say it’s taken from a line in “the immigrant song” - “the hammer of the gods will drive our ships to new lands”.

You don’t have any of their stuff on hand digitally?
I suppose that the Gods' existence is justified and accepted, as long as they are utilized for praising earthly gods. Why do we need a stairway to heaven if God does not exist?
