As you picked up from our mid-week episode, back in college Ben was in a cover band that performed the song, Hotel California.

Self-titled debut album, or perhaps more appropriately named by its "Zeppelin I" moniker... regardless of what you call it, this is one epic album by Led Zeppelin. Is it classic rock, amped up jazz-blues, hard rock, heavy metal, or all of the above? What is Robert Plant wailing about? And what exactly is John Bonham doing on those drums? We try and tackle all this and more, as we review Rolling Stone's #29 album on their list of the 500 Greatest Albums of all time, on the newest episode of The S...
