When Jack Black<\/a> gave a speech about how much he loved Led Zeppelin, he also gave listeners advice on how they should be listening to the band. <\/p>\n \u201cLed Zeppelin\u2026 the greatest rock and roll band of all time<\/a>,\u201d he said. \u201cBetter than The Beatles, better than The Stones. And if you don\u2019t agree with me, that\u2019s because you haven\u2019t done the Zeppelin marathon. It\u2019s when you sit your ass down and listen to all nine Zeppelin albums in a row.\u201d<\/p>\n Jack Black has been known to exaggerate a fair bit when he speaks, but the one thing which is consistent throughout his career is his adoration of Led Zeppelin \u2013 whether we\u2019re talking about his film career or his life as a musician, that love for Zeppelin has always been there, and so there\u2019s no one better to take advice from when it comes to listening to the great band. <\/p>\n So, why should you listen to all of their songs one after the other? It sounds like a tall order, as you\u2019ll have to set aside a whole day to get through everything, but my word, it\u2019s worth it. The band have always been celebrated for their range, as they were able to play around with a number of different genres, completely twisting the shape of rock music and injecting various styles and sounds into their playing, creating something entirely unique in the process. <\/p>\n When you listen to their music, one song after another, the range of different genres which are present within their sound becomes clearer than ever. Despite not being a prog rock band, Ian Anderson from Jethro Tull said that they helped pave the way for prog<\/a> because of how well they could maintain a decent amount of cohesion in the face of these sporadic sounds. <\/p>\n \u201cI think what they showed to all their peer group as musicians was that there was, first of all, a very powerful and dramatic way to perform simple, direct rock music and also to introduce elements of more eclectic music,\u201d he noted. \u201cBecause Zeppelin, near the beginning, there were a lot of elements of folk music, and Asian music, and African music that crept into their stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n This is all very impressive, but the fact of the matter remains, when you\u2019re writing so much versatile music, you\u2019re eventually going to stumble upon some songs that you simply can\u2019t stand. That\u2019s what happened to Led Zeppelin, as every single member had songs that they weren\u2019t fans of, and now look back on with scorn.<\/p>\n
