Meet The Music

Lead singer, Robert Plant and guitarist, Jimmy Paige, were defined by Erik Davis as the "Anti-Modernist Romantics." Led Zeppelin passionately speaks of an earlier age within their lyrics. The band crushes out glimmerings of the last natural call for our generation today.
Led Zeppelin used a significant strategy to connect music with the mind through inventive ways. The British based band had access to organic folk based traditions such as the blues in which they used throughout their music. Led Zeppelin spoke in their own language - a language of "light and shade", slow pace with a sudden musical explosion. The music obtained a different character when loud and forceful than folk music would have. This made them more dynamic than any other band before.
Led Zeppelin was now loud, sexy, and obnoxious. They let loose a sense of individuality that was not accepted in such an era. Their new appeal was not looked at positively by pop critics who were looking for traditional folk music. Led Zeppelin sought to communicate how music opened realms and aided the unconscious mind to escape into far away lands. They mediated pop commodities by interpreting sound while communicating a deeper and more emotional sense of captivation. Erik Davis would describe Led Zeppelin's form of music as "Haitian Voodoo-hypnotic trance" and considers them to be the "Hippies Younger Brother."
Led Zeppelin was spiritually consuming, allowing for this movement of trance. Led Zeppelin really was the holy grail of metal using esoteric sound while including cult elements into pop music as a whole.
