Sad as it is to admit, Led Zeppelin are probably never going to perform together again. Robert Plant doesn't want to do it, and it seems like nothing will change his mind. In 2007 he agreed to a single show, and it's finally coming out on DVD, Blu-ray, vinyl and pretty much every other format known to man on November 19th. It won't be the same as seeing an actual Led Zeppelin concert, but it's as close as anyone is likely to get now.

Which leads to our question this week: what is your favorite Led Zeppelin song? Anything in their catalog is fair game, from "Good Times Bad Times" to "Wearing and Tearing." Feel free to dig deep. Everyone knows and loves "Kashmir," but how many people are rocking out to "Walter's Walk" these days?

“Everyday People”

Sly and the Family Stone | 1968

"Everyday People" managed to trailblaze in two different ways -- it was one of the first pop hits to deal with the subject of racial harmony, and it utilized Larry Graham's "slap" technique on the bass guitar, which would soon be copied by countless other bassists. Graham once said about his pulsating style, "I'd never done that before … that's where the freedom of creativity came in for the band, that we'd be allowed to do that." In 1978, the song's line "Different strokes for different folks" would be borrowed for the title of the hit television show Diff'rent Strokes.
