Led Zeppelin - II .jpg) .gif) By Billy Altman
Riff rock had been what Jimmy Page's former band, the Yardbirds, were
all about, and on Led Zeppelin's second album, released, like its
predecessor, in 1969, the inventive guitarist demonstrated that he'd
indeed learned his lessons well. Witness "Whole Lotta Love," a
woozy epic based on one simple, head-banging-friendly guitar riff. Or the
mock-dramatic "Heartbreaker," propelled by far more intricate
but similarly effective note squashing. Between Page's sonic wizardry,
John Bonham beating his drums into submission ("Moby Dick"), and
the juice running down Robert Plant's leg ("The Lemon Song"),
Led Zeppelin here just about succeeded in raising rock & roll excess
to an art form.
