ok , but when will we see some real talent on itunes ?
like the banana splits
“Power, Mystery, and the Hammer of the Gods”.
Zep then, Zep now, Zep forever. Best band on the face of the planet. Always will be. Try and find a better set of 4 musicians in a single band and you’d be hard pressed to come up with anyone close.
And all this from someone who was only 7 when Bonzo died.
MW: Taking. As in the world was theirs for the taking in the 70’s.
Sure you can download it illegally for free, but what’s your time worth?
I hope there will be more like this. I hope to see collections like this for <strike> hundreds </strike> nay, thousands of artists.
KISS
When Eric Carr was the drummer
I’m in the KISS Army!
Led Zeppelin ripped off so many blues artists it isn’t even funny. Changing the lyrics from you need love to whole lotta love was real original. Google Willie Dixon songs and listen to the originals of Zeppelins cover songs. Zepplin is a joke!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Knights In Satan’s Service?
Don’t forget the Monkeys.
That Micky Dolenz was a bad mother lover….
(actually Dude, I’m hard pressed)
Talk about Ying and Yang
Fatty Arbuckle
Sure you can download it illegally for free, but what’s your time worth?
Considering the fact that you can d/l it in lossless form, I’d say a lot of people will invest in their time with a bittorrent, especially if you get a fast seeder.
KISS? My ass!
Jimmy Page – that’s all – OK, not really. Jeff Beck, Albert Lee – OK that’s good. Wish I could find more Albert Lee on iTunes. Of all the guitarists I’ve heard he is the most amazing – not necessarily the best – but the most amazing. Wish Heads, hands and Feet had made more albums.
And this is different from Led Zeppelin Remasters CD box how?
I already own Remasters, I’m not buying it again. But good to see Zep in iTunes, might buy some songs I don’t yet own.
…is this DRM free higher quality AAC? or the crap DRM bitrate?
No use unless it’s cd quality.
Yes there is a difference if you have a quality sound system.
5.1 optical out of a MacBook Pro to a good 5.1 surround sound system and Volume Logic installed in iTunes. Enjoy!!
classic van halen , the who ( moon era ) and queen
zep are VASTLY overrated imo
plus they copied jeff beck’s truth which came out 6 months earlier
Hmmm seems to be a trend by some (read: Marko) to deflate the importance of Zep. To each his own. And your great band would be???
I always love the “Zep ripped off X blues legend” line of “reasoning”. AFAIK Zep was always up front about their influences. Wasn’t it Shakespeare who said there are 12 original ideas, all else is a variation on the theme”.
@Dude- KISS. Another of my favorite bands. With Eric Carr they were top notch. I am an absolute Ace fan, however not near Page IMHO.
Or, as we used to say at WQDR….Led Zebulin!!!!
Ya know, I used to monkey around, but when it comes to investing, I’m a gorilla!
I’d only by this if I were on drugs. Really, the CD is still hard to beat.
“No use unless it’s cd quality.
Yes there is a difference if you have a quality sound system.”
Wah, wah, wah… Dude, go by the CDs then, you have a choice, there’s nothing to whine about… If you want CD quality, then (Duh) go buy the CDs! If you have a shitty sound system and you enjoy convenience, download them… Problem solved.
99 Dollars? I thought the whole success of iTunes was based on the idea of buying one song for .99. This “album only” business has no appeal to me. Looks like Zep still doesn’t get it. I’ll save my money until I can pick which songs I want.
Is it DRM free? If not, not interested. I’ve sworn off buying any DRM music from iTunes. Hear that record labels?
Why should we pay to obtain a bunch of songs that were stolen in the first place?

Led for your head, baby!!!!
Stairway to Heaven, Kashmir, Tangerine, Achilles Last Stand, Over the Hills and Fall Away, D’Yer Mak’er, Immigrant Song, stolen, yep everyone :rolleyes:
I already own all the remasters. Why do I need the remastered remasters?
