didn't notice any Led Zepplin. so 'greatest' intros are obviously discretionary.

BUT this IS the greatest intro(duction) in rock 'n' roll history...

https://www.history.com/news/the-hindenburg-disaster-9-surprising-facts ...

Goebbels wanted to name the Hindenburg for Adolf Hitler.
Eckener, no fan of the Third Reich, named the airship for the late German president Paul von Hindenburg and refused Goebbels’ request to name it after Hitler. The Führer, never enthralled by the great airships in the first place, was ultimately glad that the zeppelin that crashed in a fireball didn’t bear his name.

also...

Frau Eva von Zeppelin was offended by the group's name (Led Zepplin) for "dishonouring the family name". The direct descendant of Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin demanded the band to change their name. On 28th Feb, 1970, the group performed one show in Copenhagen as The Nobs but decided to retain their original name afterwards due to popular and critical opinions that favoured their original name.

I too am conflicted.

On one hand, that trailer had both Led Zepplin AND Peter Dinklage (he was the voice of the drone), which is pretty much instant awesome.

On the other hand, Bungie and stupid system exclusive bollocks... so meh.

Sounds like The Troll to me. Although I have to admit that I don't actually know which of them came first, Small Faces or The Troll.

I guess I am trolling, but not to be mean and nasty, just trying to get some notice for the video and start some discussion.
I could use another sifted video, and nothing I say will hurt Led Zepplin, and , The Small Faces could use a little recognition for some damn good, trend setting music and style.
So, I used an attention grabbing title, did you watch and listen to the music?

No no no! I wasn't calling you a troll...I was referring to a band, The Troll. I'll grant you that very few people know of them....very obscure, and -very- psychedelic.
I grew up spending many, many hours listening to their 1968 album, Animated Music. As I said, I'm not too familiar with Small Faces, so I'm not sure who came first, but the sound of this clip was distinctly similar to the sounds of some songs on Animated Music. I'll see if I can find a clip to post.


HaHaHa...I guess I was being sensitive. Cool, I'll have to look into The Trolls, . I think you'll find that The Small Faces predated the Trolls, As the Small Faces formed in 1965, were a "Super Group" By 1967 and disbanded by 1969, Then reformed with Ronnie Wood and Rod Stewart as The Faces.

I don't know why but once I saw the thumbnail, all I saw was a pink cowardly lion from the Wizard of Oz.... though sidenote Led Zepplin is good stuff...

Also, see here for the Led Zepplin version: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lemon_Song

Tags for this video have been changed from 'led zepplin, misty, mountain, hop, 1979, jimmy paige, robert plant' to 'led zeppelin, misty mountain hop, 70s, 1979, jimmy page, robert plant' - edited by rasch187

In case anyone comes looking to fix this, this was a video collage of photographs from McCain and Bush eating cake, and the wreckage left by Katrina that same day, to the sound track of Led Zepplin's "When the Levee Breaks".

hey! lets have a music in history thread inspired by how terrible this was
ill start:
after museful consideration i have to say that i agree with homer simpsons assertion that rock attained perfection in 1974 and anything that i can think of is either 1)directly and obviously influenced by something from this era or 2) influenced by something influenced from this era
in 1974 you have: lou reed and the velvet underground, the ny dolls, the kinks, stevie wonder, jackson 5, the rolling stones, frank zappa, patti smith, aretha franklin, david bowie, eric clapton, rod stewart, led zepplin, johnny cash, paul simon, neil young, bob dylan, and the waning days of the beatles... sure really really good things came before, but 74 seems like the perfect blending point of old and new. where the forces that were powerhouses and founding fathers of rock n roll met and mingled with the new wave and poof...

your turn go!

bwahahaharofl Led Zepplin Black Dog cranked to 11 oh yeah, now if he'd had 'em passing a joint back and forth and then getting lost and ending up at a drive-in movie that video woulda summed up my student daze in Minneapolis. gud tymz.

Benny Goodman = Elvis = The Beatles = Led Zepplin = Michael Jackson = Public Enemy = Nirvana = Radiohead = ????.............

woooooooaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh there horsey.. what!?

fans of each of these can adjust these comments because i'm not well versed in all but a few...
Benny Goodman, no idea - no comment
Elvis - more or less a crooner with elements of rock?
Beatles - guitar pop? and occasionally experimental
Led Zep - rock, experimental
Jackson - pop with attitude?
Public Enemey - who?
Nirvana - angsty grunge rock?
Radiohead - rock followed by completely experimental mixing styles and such

i don't want to get into some really really detailed shit here, because i'm not qualified for it... but surely calling those the same is a bit like saying all cars are exactly the same?

especially when you go directly from led zep to michael jackson.... double especially when you name pop and experimental stuff in the same sentence

i think that's mental

now go ahead and say "but they all follow the same chord progression timbre resonance factor!"... fair enough, but again that's like saying "every element in the periodic table is exactly the same because they are all made up of protons, neutrons and electrons" (do not start with me about string theory or quarks plz) - they have to be made up of the same things, just like a c sharp is the same as a b flat because they're both made up of compressions of air, and the only difference is how fast the compression occurs..

now if that's what you're saying - fair enough, you're right, but you need to get out more

otherwise please don't say they sound the same.. i'm not clinging to my generation, saying one is better than the other, more unique than the other... especially because i'm a fan of pink floyd and i'm far out of their generation.. but ....... dayum

The point is that there is nothing new under the sun. Music constantly revisits the same themes, chords and melodies generation after generation. We, of course, latch on to the particular sounds of our own generation, and believe that we are somehow unique, but the truth is that Benny Goodman = Elvis = The Beatles = Led Zepplin = Michael Jackson = Public Enemy = Nirvana = Radiohead = ????.............

Styles may change, but human emotions (and the awkwardness of puberty in particular) remain the same.

This is a well executed example of a 90's tune, played in an authentic 40's/50's big band style. What makes it funny (as opposed to the self-conscious cheese of Richard Cheese) is that it is played straight.

There is also a great 70's moog version of SLTS done by The Moog Cookbook.

Awesome, there was like 1 good choice. And Led Zepplin twice? hahahahahaha
