Summary

In our first installment of Massive Albums November 2017, Rock on Radio's Danny Coleman (coaradio.com) joins Bill and Brian to discuss Led Zeppelin IV (1971, Atlantic). Danny talks about his cool older cousin gifting him this album on his 12th birthday and his life being forever changed. Bill, Brian, and Danny then get into John Bonham's influence on Danny as a drummer, Zep vs. the Who, polyrhythms, John Paul Jones' bass keeping the band together, AM/FM radio and music fandom, how Led Zeppelin kind of does in fact have a great live album, Robert Plant's lyricism (and nerdiness), how Jimmy Page is often overlooked as a great producer, and more as we make our way through the album track by track!

0:58.6	in which we talk about the things we love about the songs

1:03.3	Yeah, we're not doing it alone this week.
1:05.4	Absolutely not.
1:06.2	Who's joining us today, Brian?
1:07.9	Today we will be joined in studio by Danny Coleman,
1:10.7	a local radio and television,
1:14.4	kind of media personality. He'll go into all the various outlets that he works for and writes
1:21.4	for and all that stuff, but a big booster of the local music scene. And I'm really glad that we
1:26.3	brought him in to join us because I think occasionally we get a
1:31.1	little bit of a criticism from some listeners that we don't always provide enough context
