"Whole Lotta Love" by Led Zeppelin...
Just how stoned were Led Zeppelin when they recorded it? :smoke:

I'm listening to WKLH "classic hits" and they just played "Whole Lotta Love."

1. Not too stoned when they stole it from Willie Dixon.

And lifted the Small Faces arrangement.

2. They transcended the Small Faces arrangement...
...which is cluttered with stupid hand-claps. Zep took that skeleton (well, okay, much more than a skeleton) and built a giant atomic death robot that lurches across the skyline a hundred feet over our heads. And Page's lead break is one of the all-time great rock 'n' roll moments.

The Faces deserve credit for their arrangement, but they come off as the weak imitators of whatever the hell it is Zep created.

4. You should have heard my "Cornhole Lotta Love" from a couple decades ago...
I sampled the Deliverance banjo riff, changed the lyrics to reflect redneck sodomy, added piq squeals, etc...
