The Ocean

The Ocean by Led Zeppelin

The first time I heard this song, I was in my friend Ryan's basement. However, Bonham and Page weren't the ones creating the musical goodness. I have so many memories of my friends Ian and Ryan jammin' in that basement, and this was a song they played all the time and perfected EPICLY. Although they may disagree, they are SUCH good musicians. I guarantee I wouldn't love this song as much as I do if I hadn't experienced the brilliance [live] few feet from an amp, kickin' it with my buds. It's probably my favorite Zeppelin song. Prime, solid rock and roll. If you're not already a hard core Led Zeppelin fan, I strongly encourage you to pursue that path. SOME other favorite songs include: "Going to California," "Ramble On," and "Black Dog." I can't listen to some Led and not think of traipsing about vast regions with my fellow mountain savages. "Sitting 'round, singing songs 'til the night turns into day."

--Also, this song is the main ringtone on my phone, and has been for a looooong time. Shyjzah!
