they, too featured a man who could coax fantastical sounds from six metal strings and some wood they, too, had a singer who could break glass with his upper register they, too, had a monster rhythm section. They’re the best.īut what of Deep Purple? They, too, hailed from the U.K. Them – those four guys, the wizard conjuring things on his guitar, the singer with the high voice, the King Kong-lookin’ bloke on the drums, and the mousy Prince Caspian lookalike on bass. One could be pardoned for listening to “The Crunge,” “Livin’ Lovin’ Maid,” “Black Dog,” “Immigrant Song,” or a dozen other tracks (or, let’s be honest, the whole of their first album) and think, that’s the coolest, heaviest band who ever walked the planet.
Led Zeppelin gets deserved kudos for their combination of heaviness, melody, sexuality and their sweaty British take on American blues music.
