almost EVERYONE loves the track - from up and coming rappers to otherwise clueless millennials. don't believe me, do a YouTube search for "Led Zeppelin Kashmir Reactions." they ESPECIALLY love the "Celebration Day" version.

while I never put much stock in the whole "they sold their souls to the devil" folklore, I can't think of any other reason why they would be so good at that stage of the game.

Kashmir is so awesome its made other people do their own Kashmir like songs that are also brilliant like Rainbow's Stargazer.

Blue Murder's Valley of the Kings feels similar as well. Think Bob Rock called Metallica's 'Sad But True' "Kashmir for the 90's"

Good examples. I'd add "Perfect Strangers" by Deep Purple to the list. (Great song too, but it owes at least some of its inspiration to "Kashmir", I think.)

You must really hate it , Led Zeppelin only recorded 92 songs.

I was actually surprised how much of what you're hearing was guitar. I used to think it was just strings with very little to no guitar playing. Then DADGAD came in kicked me in the nuts, took a dump in the corner, and walked out of the room leaving me doubled over in pain. I'll never make that mistake again.

That is why I laugh when people say Zeppelin were nothing but thieves and how they stole from the blues and all that horseshit. That is how the blues works. It's a bunch of people expanding on the songs that the people before them made. So yes, Zeppelin did do that, but much more importantly they came up with masterpieces like Kashmir, Achilles Last Stand, The Battle of Evermore, In The Evening, and so many other amazing songs that who gives a fuck if Whole Lotta Love is similar to some old blues song. Don't even get me started on Taurus or whatever the hell it is called.
