In a 2005 interview, Plant discussed the different interpretations and pronunciations of the name of the song.[2] He explained that the title is derived from an old joke, where two friends have the following exchange: "My wife's gone to the West Indies." "Jamaica?" (which in an English accent sounds like "Did you make her?") "No, she wanted to go".[5]
Yep. I heard it a different way, but same old joke about a girl met in Jamaica. "No, she wouldn't even let me touch her!!" 😋Certain British accents stick an R in Jamaica. I tell my British friends "You damn foreigners need to learn to speak English. 🤣
Actually the joke ends as " No, she went of her own accord". As an old Englishman I am qualified in this subject matter! It's a contraction of the "did" in "Did you make her " and slang "yer" of the "you" and "er" from "her"and hence "D'yer make 'er". There was a lot of reggae and Ska played in the UK in the late 60's and 70's and its influence makes its way into a lot of British bands' back catalogue.
That's an Amazing song! Another example of Jimmy Page coming up some crazy guitar tuning.... just to make people think "how the hell is he doing that?" LOL The production on that (as well as most Zeppelin tunes) is off the charts!
This is off of House of the Holy, which is possibly their most musically diverse album. It's interesting too because there is no blues song on it either. This song always has me dreaming of palm trees and ocean breezes. Zeppelin is any genre they want to be. Check out the Ocean, Over the Hills and Far Away or No Quarter off this album. But then again it's all worth checking out.
The Rain Song and The Song Remains the Same as well are on Houses of the Holy the album while the song Houses of the Holy is on the Physical Graffiti album.
Unbelievably, critics tore Houses of the Holy to pieces when it came out in 1973, especially for this song and for The Crunge. They hated it! I guess they weren't ready for such an eclectic album.
I'm 62 and You guys are helping Me to fall in love again with the music I grew up with. 🙂 You're the best and I will keep coming back! Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year to You & Yours!
Good day for 62 year Olds. So am I. I'm also a DJ who's been listening to all this music for years as well. I also love watching Jordan and Amber's musical and film journey. I also appreciate their wholesomeness. Rock on kids!
Led Zeppelin does reggae just because they could and show off their versatility. If you want to hear Led Zeppelin do country, listen to 'Hot Dog' from their 'In Through the Out Door' album. Great song
Over time, the both of you have certainly evolved in your own ways of expressing your true appreciation of music. It has been so much fun taking the journey with you. I wish you peace and love in 2023!
Led Zeppelin is the best rock band ever. For me, they're the band that does for Hard Rock music what Earth, Wind & Fire does for Funk and Soul music. Both bands are the top tier!
The "Houses of the Holy" was a bit of a departure from their previous album, Led Zeppelin IV. It was quite diverse. Try listening to "Dancing Days" and "No Quarter". "No Quarter" is a very haunting song and Plant's vocals are very different compared to most other Zep tunes. Though the song is slower paced, but it has a KILLER riff.
Yes G., There are bands, then there's LZ...their live version(s) of "No Quarter" are monumental...saw them in '73... they're not just off the chain, they're off the steel cable.
I think I mentioned this before, my mom is the one who introduced me to Led Zeppelin, this actually brought a tear to my eye because Dec 17 was the 28th anniversary of her death....this reaction I exactly what I needed today She was a beautiful woman with excellent taste in music....
Finally! Been waiting for this reaction for a long them. My favourite pick-me up song for the past 40 years or so. It instantly puts a smile on my face and provides me this vibe that puts a lift in my step.
Led Zepplin is the god of all bands of all time and this was there fuck around song and it still sold millions. Im so glad yall got to experience it for the first time!!!
OMGEEEE Jay and Amber! The last time you listed to a Led Zeppelin song I thought about D'yer Maker!😍 I LOVE this song, and it was a B-side song on a 45rpm vinyl when I first heard it. It was also the song that made me really remember Zeppelin. A then 13 year old in the hood listening to Rock and Roll! Wow! I NEVER thought you all would react to this! I was so excited I haven't even listed yet. 🤣 I'm about to now! This is why I love y'all. ❤️ okay biyeee! 🏃🏾♀️💨
Drum forward agin. John Bonham was the soul and the glue that held Led Zeppelin together. He was the best rock’n roll drummer of all time! Love your reactions. Thanks so much!
This is Led's version of the Reggae sound; Well done I think. One of my favorites. This is a monster rabbit hole with this group! Try rocking out with "Trampled Underfoot!" The song is about a muscle car and the love of driving it. ( I'm talking 'bout love!) Ha, Ha Great work, keep it up. Enjoy JWW John was the Bomb of drummers..........
Jay & Amber, you'll love their "Rock And Roll" and "Living Loving Maid (She's Just a Woman)"!!! In a 2005 interview, Plant discussed the different interpretations and pronunciations of the name of the song. He explained that the title is derived from an old joke, where two friends have the following exchange: "My wife's gone to the West Indies." "Jamaica?" (which in an English accent sounds like "Did you make her?") "No, she wanted to go".
👊Boom! Finally, someone tells the story accurately!!🙃Thank you so much (saved me from being compelled to do it! lol!!!!). The story behind it is adorable and you did a great job of telling it! Short and concise!! Love ur comment!!!💯❤
This song was from the Houses of the Holy album which contained two other songs which were more dance oriented: The Crunge has a James Brown vibe to it and Dancing Days is a rock/dance floor celebration. Houses of the Holy is a great album!
Great stuff, thanks for sharing! One of my all-time favorite bands. I’m 56 and have been a fan since the early 70s. Interesting fact: The name Led Zeppelin came from a comment made by drummer Keith Moon of The Who, who once said the band would go down like a lead balloon.
From online sources. "The title, frequently mispronounced as 'Dear Maker' or even 'Dire Maker', is actually meant to be pronounced “Jamaica” in a double-edged reference to the old joke that Robert Plant regaled in a Rolling Stone interview and also the way in which locals pronounce the name of their Caribbean island."
I've also heard a story that it was meant to be a quick British way of saying "did you make her", or in other words did you score with her? If you say those words "did you make her" very fast like the title of the song I can see where that would make sense!! I can't remember if that actually came from an interview with Robert Plant or if that was just a urban legend mystery or theory!!
It’s two meanings correct… Play on Jamaica 🇯🇲 And English comment for “ Did you make her”…. Example….. “ my wife’s away on holiday…. Ohh… Dyer Maker… no she went on her own accord “…
Led Zeppelin are much like the Beatles in this: if you think you "know what they sound like" you will come across something completely different and unexpected in their ouevre. The bass is so amazing in this one, and the surprise piano hit.
Yay!! I'm SO glad y'all reacted to this one! Such a great groove! I'm still waiting for you to hear "Misty Mountain Hop". 😁 P.L.U.R.R. from your Texas auntie!
Definitely an odd-sounding riff from Zeppelin...it's never been one of my favorite songs by them. But they're still awesome. Glad you all had a good Christmas...and DON'T FORGET...Christina Aguilera's performance of "You Lost Me" on the David Letterman show from 2010 will blow you away! I'm serious, I get emotional every time I see it.
That's what's amazing about Led Zeppelin is that they can do so many different types of styles and music. To me, they are the most talented band from top to bottom....
One of my favorite LED Zeppelin songs y'all gotta react to is The Ocean. The crazy off beat pattern John Bonham does is epic. And Jimmy Page follows right along with it, with his flavored guitar riffs. Sounds so damn good. Check that one out please!
This is my favorite Zeppelin song, from my favorite Zeppelin album, Houses of the holy which also has the amazing “Over the hills and far away”, one you should definitely react to.
Thanks for venturing away from the usual reaction channel Zeppelin songs. 'The Crunge' 'Bron-y-aur Stomp' 'The Ocean ' 'Tangerine' are just some of the others that would give you more insight into them.
I have to say, I don’t think you’ve heard enough Led Zeppelin to say what you usually hear from them…….it’s like going to California with a blindfold on and being dropped off at the beach and then being picked up from there, putting the blindfold back on and leaving the state! There’s SOOOOO many more LZ songs for you to listen to….you haven’t even heard a tenth of their library!
When I first got into Zeppelin, back in the late 80's, this was my favorite song! Always loved the drumming in this one! He's beating those drums like they owe him money! LOL
From that album (Houses of the Holy) another great track is Over the Hills and Far Away. And of course, In My Time of Dying from the Graffiti album for when you want a Zeppelin epic.
The song In My Time of Dying by Led Zeppelin is fantastic jam session. Its a very long song, so maybe the day you do this song instead of doing three songs you could just do two. Ha ha . Merry Christmas and have a wonderful New Year.
This song was meant as a teeney bopper "throw away" song for an album filler but the public never got the joke In fact Led Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones has expressed his distaste for the song, saying that it indeed started off as a studio joke and was not thought through carefully enough.. The title is indeed a play on the word / country "Jamaica" when spoken with an English accent.
I remember the first time I heard this song back in the day, I didn’t know who sang it but I was in love with everything about this song! Of course I had to find out who did it and was like really…Led Zeppelin? But it’s been my favorite song of theirs ever since!❤
Well done Amber, you identified this was Led Zeppelin's take on reggae almost immediately. A sweet reggae love song, with a tongue-in-cheek title (d'yer mak'er said quickly by a Brit sounds a bit like Jamaica, the home of reggae music).
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! It’s so great to you listening to Led Zeppelin songs for the first time. It reminds me of me and my friends back in the day. ZEP song to try that is different but awesome - When the Levee Breaks
Always loved how Bonham approached the drums as an instrument rather than a beat machine. Like Ringo, you can hear every move and neither would cop out and just "ride the cymbals" - they were used as emphasis and accents only in most tracks.
Amber and Jay, check out the lyrics. I'm convinced that Sting, a reggae aficionado, 'stole'/sampled the theme and words from D'Yer Mak'er. Plant sings, '...Every breath I take, Every move I make'... It's about a man pining for and maybe feeling like he owns a woman. Now check out the almost mirror-like lyrics in part and the tone/message of The Police's Every Breath You Take, which was released about 10 years later. D'Yer Mak'er's was credited, unusually, to all four members of Led Zeppelin. Sting should have given official writing credit to all four on Every Breath You Take.
Led Zeppelin were a very versatile band. There are different styles of music on each album. They could do blues, hard rock, folk, country and here a slow reggae. With them every song was different and they never repeated themselves. There isn't another Led Zeppelin song that sounds like Kashmir, Stairway to Heaven or Whole lotta love. That was the fascinating thing about the band, that they surprised their fans with every album and offered something unusual. The name of the song D'yer Mak'er comes from an English pun in the Cockney dialect and is pronounced similar to the word Jamaica. You only realized later that this is pronounced incorrectly in most countries and also in the USA.
*I had all of their albums...wish I still did. The Beatles recorded more than 210 songs and sold the most albums by a Rock band. Led Zeppelin recorded just 108 songs and sold the second most albums. There aren't many bad Zeppelin songs...and I played them all throughout my teen years. I turned 18 yrs in 1980...one year after their last album. Love Zeppelin!* ♥
I grew up a Led Zeppelin freak. Now you say you like the different styles if you want to try something completely different you need to listen to “Hot dog” from the in through the out door album. Love you guys keep up the great work!

Actually the joke ends as " No, she went of her own accord". As an old Englishman I am qualified in this subject matter!
It's a contraction of the "did" in "Did you make her " and slang "yer" of the "you" and "er" from "her"and hence "D'yer make 'er".
There was a lot of reggae and Ska played in the UK in the late 60's and 70's and its influence makes its way into a lot of British bands' back catalogue.
@@thesedreamsarefree Ersen.
Zep fans have known that since the 70's.
The same wife went to Southeast Asia with her band, I hear. "Singapore?" "Yeah, and the bass player is rubbish as well."
Wife here..WOW WOW WOW..My ABSOLUTE FAVORITE LED ZEPPELIN tune!!..Sooooo Sensual..Such a cool reggae tone!!!..
"Thank you" is an absolute masterpiece from Zeppelin.
absolutely one of the most versatile bands in rock history for sure. I used to belly dance to this song.... a lifetime ago.
What a great choice. ❤
@@BoxerRick thank you
For "a totally different Led Zeppelin", you need to check out "The Rain Song". One of the most beautiful rock songs ever written.
I agree!
My absolute favorite Zepp song!
That's an Amazing song! Another example of Jimmy Page coming up some crazy guitar tuning.... just to make people think "how the hell is he doing that?" LOL The production on that (as well as most Zeppelin tunes) is off the charts!
👍🔥🌧️
Beautiful track!!!! I second that ❤
This song is actually a tribute to the reggae sound. The title is actually pronounced "Jer Maker", or Jamaica....
Yes, its written phonetically how an Englishman would say Jamaica.
Its a sexual reference, did ya maker! At least that’s what Plant said in an interview!
@Stan Nelson yup. Slang for "did you get lucky?" The song title has triple entendre....😉
Listen to The Rain Song. It’s a different Zeppelin vibe. And of course you will dig it
It was a joke as Plant explained on an interview.
My wife's going overseas.
Jermaker? (Jamaica)
No, she left on her own accord...
This is off of House of the Holy, which is possibly their most musically diverse album. It's interesting too because there is no blues song on it either. This song always has me dreaming of palm trees and ocean breezes. Zeppelin is any genre they want to be. Check out the Ocean, Over the Hills and Far Away or No Quarter off this album. But then again it's all worth checking out.
Or even dipping a toe into country music with Hound Dog.
Love this album!
No Quarter is a great choice, but it's gotta be the live version off of The Song Remains The Same.
The Rain Song and The Song Remains the Same as well are on Houses of the Holy the album while the song Houses of the Holy is on the Physical Graffiti album.
Unbelievably, critics tore Houses of the Holy to pieces when it came out in 1973, especially for this song and for The Crunge. They hated it! I guess they weren't ready for such an eclectic album.
This is my favorite Led Zeppelin song hands down!!! Baby please don’t go!!!
One of my favorite Zeppelin songs. Robert Plant sings at a whole different level...sensual, pleading, intense...just a unique sound. Bonham nails it!
I'm 62 and You guys are helping Me to fall in love again with the music I grew up with. 🙂 You're the best and I will keep coming back! Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year to You & Yours!
Kerry, I like these two kids ....but they pause and talk way too much.
@@michaelasay8587 Two kids. LOL. You must be old like me!
@@michaelasay8587 Michael I enjoy their enthusiasm and they sometimes point out things I had not heard or considered.
I’m also 62 and love this music that I grew up listening to as a teenager
Good day for 62 year Olds. So am I. I'm also a DJ who's been listening to all this music for years as well. I also love watching Jordan and Amber's musical and film journey. I also appreciate their wholesomeness. Rock on kids!

If you want to hear Led Zeppelin do country, listen to 'Hot Dog' from their 'In Through the Out Door' album. Great song
Yeah, but I think my favorite track off that album is FOOL IN THE RAIN. Love the Calypso transition.
@@jollyrodgers7272 FITR,The Rain Song& The Ocean are 3 of my very favorite Zep songs. I think it's funny they're all about water!🍻
Yes Great song one of my favorite
" Country Songs" is Hot Dog...But Gallows pole is a classic also
.
@Jolly Rodgers Oh, yes. 'Fool in the Rain' is clearly the best on that album and one of the band's very best tunes.
It's about the equivalent of the Stones "Far Away Eyes" LOL.
Over time, the both of you have certainly evolved in your own ways of expressing your true appreciation of music. It has been so much fun taking the journey with you. I wish you peace and love in 2023!
I wish you peace and love in 2024!
This and Over The Hills And Far Away are my two favorite Led Zeppelin songs. Great choice.
From my favorite album Houses of the Holy
My favorites are Over the Hills and Far Away AND Kashmir
Ditto! 😁
Song remains the same, too.
"Oh oh oh oh oh ohhh..." Always love it when you feature some Zeppelin. Nice follow up to your movie reaction today.
Love this song.. and “fool in the rain “ Led Zeppelin!!
Led Zeppelin is the best rock band ever. For me, they're the band that does for Hard Rock music what Earth, Wind & Fire does for Funk and Soul music. Both bands are the top tier!
People argue Beatles stones Led Zeppelin left them in the fucking dust
If you want to get another fun Island vibe song from them, you should react to “Fool in the Rain”. Such a fun song! As always, great reaction!
Fool in The Rain is one of my faves!
One of my favorites too. From the funny lyrics to the changes in the music, it’s a great song
@@leemcclements8889 same!
Absolutely, I've already requested this one.
Also, one of John Bonham's most amazing grooves.
Back in the day,I listened to this song over and over and over.....
The "Houses of the Holy" was a bit of a departure from their previous album, Led Zeppelin IV. It was quite diverse. Try listening to "Dancing Days" and "No Quarter".

They were all legends.
The outro to Kashmir is epic!
This song and Misty Mountain Hop are my favorite Led Zeppelin songs. Both are definitely different
Awesome picks. U have good taste.
Love Led Zeppelin ❤ ♥ 💙 💖
This is Led's version of the Reggae sound; Well done I think. One of my favorites. This is a monster rabbit hole with this group! Try rocking out with "Trampled Underfoot!" The song is about a muscle car and the love of driving it. ( I'm talking 'bout love!) Ha, Ha Great work, keep it up. Enjoy JWW John was the Bomb of drummers..........
Jay & Amber, you'll love their "Rock And Roll" and "Living Loving Maid (She's Just a Woman)"!!!

My parents would say that joke in Sydney Australia. Slight difference- Jamaica? No she went of her own accord
Combine Heartbreaker and Living Loving Maid together one after the other!! It’s an epic SINGLE song!!!
You forgot to credit Wikipedia, from whence you copy/pasted your second paragraph!! 😳
The Eek-A-Mouse version of this song is incredible!!
One of my favorite Zeppelin songs. It’s definitely in my top 3 and they have a ton of unbelievable songs
This *and* "Almost Famous" on the same day = living yr best life
"I'm Falling" by the Comstat Angels (1985)
Definitely my fav Zep song ... by far!!!
So glad you reacted to this. I love it!
My favorite drummer too…and #1 in Rolling Stones list of best drummers
I miss Charlie! He was so steady.
That’s Zeppelin! So different so great! Love the drums, mellow yet very rhythmic! Still my favorite! ❤
The masters of hard rock
"Custard Pie", "The Rover", "Out On The Tiles" are great rockers. Hope you all have a wonderful new year.
This song was from the Houses of the Holy album which contained two other songs which were more dance oriented: The Crunge has a James Brown vibe to it and Dancing Days is a rock/dance floor celebration. Houses of the Holy is a great album!
Love this song.
Now it’s time for FOOL IN THE RAIN.
This is one of my most favourite Led Zeppelin songs. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Exactly right. It was their take on reggae. TH-cam channel professor of rock recently told the back story of this song
It’s “Jamaica” in Welsh spelling conventions
I've also heard a story that it was meant to be a quick British way of saying "did you make her", or in other words did you score with her?
If you say those words "did you make her" very fast like the title of the song I can see where that would make sense!!
I can't remember if that actually came from an interview with Robert Plant or if that was just a urban legend mystery or theory!!
It’s two meanings correct…
Play on Jamaica 🇯🇲
And English comment for “ Did you make her”…. Example….. “ my wife’s away on holiday…. Ohh… Dyer Maker… no she went on her own accord “…
Its pronounced like "Jamaica" Or "did you make her"
Led Zeppelin 'Hey Hey What Can I Do' 'The Ocean'
I remember hearing this on the radio a lot, when it was new.
Led Zeppelin's The Ocean is a pretty impressive vocal delivery from Plant.
The greatest rock band. I really can’t think of a bad song.
I have no stats on it, but it seems "Hot Dog" is a popular choice as their worst song (a song which I actually don't mind - lol).
I’ll take that challenge. I love them, but fool in the rain is legitimately one of my least favorite songs ever. Those vocals are unforgivable
@@thatsmyassbrostop Have you read the lyrics here?
@Wilt Chamberlain is the GOAT U2? ...lol. Pink Floyd, The Who, Stones, even Queen... and many others would top them on any list. Probably not top ten.
Completely agree. The Beatles may have been the first, but Zep is the best.
Led Zeppelin are much like the Beatles in this: if you think you "know what they sound like" you will come across something completely different and unexpected in their ouevre. The bass is so amazing in this one, and the surprise piano hit.

Phenomenal Band with a phenomenal sound. AMAZING in concert. Thanx so mcuh, Take care, Stay groovy, Peace
Woot finally!!! Thank you for this reaction. Love this song!
Try “ No Quarter” when the weather is cold, foggy, snowy outside!! That’s definitely a vibe.
One of my fav Led Zeppelin
One of my favorite LED Zeppelin songs y'all gotta react to is The Ocean. The crazy off beat pattern John Bonham does is epic. And Jimmy Page follows right along with it, with his flavored guitar riffs. Sounds so damn good. Check that one out please!
This is my favorite Zeppelin song, from my favorite Zeppelin album, Houses of the holy which also has the amazing “Over the hills and far away”, one you should definitely react to.
Thanks for venturing away from the usual reaction channel Zeppelin songs.
'The Crunge' 'Bron-y-aur Stomp' 'The Ocean ' 'Tangerine' are just some of the others that would give you more insight into them.
Zeppelin is just the BEST OF ALL TIME. This is no comparison and yes they can throw you different but its all GOOD.
I have to say, I don’t think you’ve heard enough Led Zeppelin to say what you usually hear from them…….it’s like going to California with a blindfold on and being dropped off at the beach and then being picked up from there, putting the blindfold back on and leaving the state!

Two more diverse songs that I've always loved is "Gallows Pole" and "When the Levee Breaks". They loved all forms of music and it shows.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! It’s so great to you listening to Led Zeppelin songs for the first time. It reminds me of me and my friends back in the day. ZEP song to try that is different but awesome - When the Levee Breaks
ROBERT PLANT'S OTHER BAND THE HONEYDRIPPERS ARE A MUST HEAR!!!! Rock n Roll, Blues, Oldies, stupendous album!!!🎵🎶
They would like The Honeydrippers- "Sea of Love".
Yes!! Sea of Love! ❤
Indeed!!❤🌊❤
I would recommend "Young Boy Blues" from the Honeydrippers.
Rockin' at Midnight...
This is a staple of any steel drum band as it sounds amazing even as an instrumental.
I love zeppelins ability to try new sounds and they always make it work
Always loved how Bonham approached the drums as an instrument rather than a beat machine. Like Ringo, you can hear every move and neither would cop out and just "ride the cymbals" - they were used as emphasis and accents only in most tracks.
Plant had such seductive voice. You are very discerning Amber. Definite calypso vibe but also old school rock. It's a very clever song.
This is a Zeppelin "love song". Fabulous! ☮💛🎶
The only thing you “normally get” from Led Zeppelin is awesomeness….they are one of the most diverse bands ever!
Amber and Jay, check out the lyrics. I'm convinced that Sting, a reggae aficionado, 'stole'/sampled the theme and words from D'Yer Mak'er. Plant sings, '...Every breath I take, Every move I make'...

Now check out the almost mirror-like lyrics in part and the tone/message of The Police's Every Breath You Take, which was released about 10 years later. D'Yer Mak'er's was credited, unusually, to all four members of Led Zeppelin. Sting should have given official writing credit to all four on Every Breath You Take.
The BAND OF BANDS.....NOBODY .....BUT NOBODY ......could TOUCH EM!!!!
Please listen to "Fool In the rain", this isbone of my favourites and also very, very different from what you expect.
This entire album is ultra volcanic!!!
Houses of the Holy is my favorite album by Zeppelin....for sure.
Not many people do reactions to this song. Glad you checked it out!
Led Zeppelin were a very versatile band. There are different styles of music on each album. They could do blues, hard rock, folk, country and here a slow reggae. With them every song was different and they never repeated themselves. There isn't another Led Zeppelin song that sounds like Kashmir, Stairway to Heaven or Whole lotta love. That was the fascinating thing about the band, that they surprised their fans with every album and offered something unusual. The name of the song D'yer Mak'er comes from an English pun in the Cockney dialect and is pronounced similar to the word Jamaica. You only realized later that this is pronounced incorrectly in most countries and also in the USA.
Very much like the Beatles. The coils do everything
Yes yes one of my favorite band and song ROCK ON ZEPPELIN 🤘🤘
Jamaica!
she nailed it
Hell yeah, a definite banger
Love this song. Glad you finally checked it out. I also love their song Bron-y-aur Stomp
Led Zeppelin can play so many different gonraes
DANCING DAYS and THE RAIN SONG are 2 Led Zeppelin Must Hears!!!
I forgot how much I love this song!
*I had all of their albums...wish I still did. The Beatles recorded more than 210 songs and sold the most albums by a Rock band. Led Zeppelin recorded just 108 songs and sold the second most albums. There aren't many bad Zeppelin songs...and I played them all throughout my teen years. I turned 18 yrs in 1980...one year after their last album. Love Zeppelin!* ♥
Class of 80🎉😊
I grew up a Led Zeppelin freak. Now you say you like the different styles if you want to try something completely different you need to listen to “Hot dog” from the in through the out door album. Love you guys keep up the great work!
That will blow their minds 😄
