Yeah, Led Zep was the real deal. Saw them live in San Francisco in the 70s. Awesome stadium rockers.

@moonbus saidLast 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.

@suzianne saidI 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”.

@moonbus saidI 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.

@suzianne said"Mighty" doesn't do them justice, not even in all caps.

"Hammer of the Gods" comes closer.

@moonbus saidI 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”.

@moonbus saidI 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?

@divegeester saidYes, I downloaded most of their albums.
You don’t have any of their stuff on hand digitally?
But at work I don't have access to that.
