An Epic Classic Rock Album & History
& why it made the Carpe City list
Looking past the famous faces that adorn the sleeves on the record, you’ll notice a lone, unidentified man sitting on the stoop between the “F” and “I” of “GRAFFITI,” holding what seems to be a dog. Like any other obscure mystery, this has excited fans and online forums alike, with theories buzzing everywhere. Some think he’s the hermit from the Led Zeppelin IV cover who somehow made his way to the city. Others believe he’s a tenant in one of the buildings, but he’s most likely just drummer John Bonham popping a squat. A little anticlimactic, that one is.
In 2016, the rock ’n’ roll community was in utter disbelief when Led Zeppelin was accused of stealing the opening chords for their perennial hit “Stairway to Heaven.” Allegedly, Jimmy Page lifted the iconic introduction from an obscure ’60s instrumental by the band Spirit. The jury is still out, but really, it wouldn’t be the first case of a classic song being the work of someone else. You’d be surprised just how common it happens.
