Led Zeppelin - Ramble On
Led Zeppelin II continues... The triumphant march goes on from October '69 to September '70 with another 6 tours (3 in the States, 2 in Europe, and 1 in the United Kingdom). It's especially America that awaits them with bated breath. After just over a year, they are the quintessential rock 'n' roll band, and here the reputation of being the supreme hard rock group is born.
The "brown bomber" reaches the top position, dethroning Abbey Road, and it will be an album that inspires dozens of bands in the decades to come, effectively setting new reference standards for anyone wishing to measure themselves on their same ground. The album is often remembered as the hardest of the LZ, and this is likely due to the two most influential and famous songs that became cornerstones of hard rock: "Whole Lotta Love" and "Heartbreaker."
