Before we listened to Zed I in class, I had a very vague idea of what Led Zeppelin really sounded like. I assume hard rock. Overall, they were very rock oriented with some softer songs that I did not expect. The drumming of John Bonham and guitar skills of Jimmy Page were obviously exploited throughout the album. To be honest, I could have done without the lengthy solos that never seemed to end. Short ones are exciting and entertaining, but I simply cannot commit that much to a single improv-session. I am interested to hear more about their history in general (not just musically but socioculturally), and will probably research that in a few minutes........
Also, I thought Jimmy Page looked like a 19th century composer in the video we watched about Page, White, and The Edge. He had the hair and the frilly sleeves. It was meant to be.
