A little while back, maybe even a year ago now, I got a bee in my bonnet to find out more about where Zeppelin’s sound came from since, when they started in the ’60s, it was so different from everything else happening in music.

This playlist covers the stuff they ripped off, the stuff they’ve said was an influence to them, stuff that it blew my mind they even knew anything about. Obviously there’s a ton of blues, but there are also surprises like Ritchie Valens and Art Garfunkel. Enjoy!
