1970's music resurgence.

First of all, people like me know nothing about music.  Then when one turns on the radio, it is easy to distinguish, at least at my age, the differences between 'Led Zeppelin' and 'The Beatles,' or 'The Eagles,' and so forth.  It might be all these bands are supposed to sound the same, but they do not, and there is now apparently more 'Led Zeppelin' on the airwaves these days, a very misunderstood band from the 1970's mostly, that has many listeners among some who valued that musical group's unorthodox image and outstanding sound, lyrics, and so forth; everything anyone talked about at the time that was good musically, they had, maybe more than 'The Beatles.'  In any event, with time some of that band's lyrics and music seemed scripted, as some critics might have said at the time - something to do with the age of the players or how long the group had been around as well as their imagery.  'Led Zeppelin' as a group was / is terrifically underrated and has occult status among some, probably against the wishes of the band members. 

Their recordings are wonderful to hear on the marketed radio programs, but people like me do not really want to feel like a youngster anymore; enough, already, and this despite the great sound the group makes, especially with the strings.  On the other hand, it is nice the group's music has lasted as long as it has.  I wonder if it would have been different had they started as a blues or jazz band; would their sound still be around?
