Mothership - The Inspiration


So I brought the album “Mothership” a week ago and all I can say is WOW. (Back-story - historically I’ve only listened to Hip Hop). So now I have a problem, I've opened a door to a whole new world and now I need guidance. Please help. What artist and or album would you recommend that is along the lines of Led Zeppelin to someone who is a newbie such as myself? Thanks!

Hi Silverback,

I'm not trying to be facetious but neither your first post nor anyone since has mentioned the obvious suggestion - Led Zeppelin.

Mothership pulls out the plums, but there is a huge amount of great music on the albums as originally constituted.

If you stop at Mothership you'll never hear "Your Time Is Gonna Come", "What is and What Should Never Be", "Gallows Pole", "The Battle Of Evermore", "The Ocean", "In My Time of Dying", "The Wanton Song", "For Your Life" or "Fool In The Rain". That would be a great pity.

Plus you'll miss the development of the band from mainly blues to folk rock to hard rock to a flirtation with keyboard rock (the latter mainly in response to external pressures) but always with swing and great musical intelligence.

The focus exclusvely on the plums is the great pity about classic rock programming in the current era.
