A 40-Year Memory: The Birth of Metal

January 12 - Led Zeppelin I, an album considered by many to be one of the first in the heavy metal genre, is released.

Of course we didn't know at the time that something new was being born. Led Zeppelin was a Supergroup with some amazing musicians. No one realized the implications of this loud, power-music. Looking back is still the best way to see the musical earthquake that started on that January day.
