More Classic Rock N' Roll From the Early 1970's
A couple weeks ago I put together a Three Tune Tuesday with some fun rock n' roll from the early to mid 1970's. To completely honest it's a bit before my time, but the music is just so good it's hard not to dig in a little deeper. Today I'll be doing just that, digging in much deeper into three bands out of Great Britain in the early 1970's. These bands changed the world of rock for the next half century and continue to be an influence on bands even today.
But first off I want to say thank you to @ablaze for starting and continuing to sponsor this fun weekly event where you can share three songs that you enjoy. One lucky participant will win some HSBI units, you can't have too many of those! So if you don't already participate feel free to jump in, just use the tag #ttt or #threetunetuesday and it's never a bad idea to do a shoutout to @ablaze .
Let's get into today's selections, three classic songs that everyone can enjoy. First up a little Led Zeppelin:
Led Zeppelin
Formed in 1968 in London, England and they came from a band known as the Yardbirds. Why is that interesting? Another well known artist Eric Clapton came out the same band! Led Zeppelin was one of the greatest rock bands of all time until they permanently disbanded in 1980 upon the death of their drummer from alcohol poisoning. It's sad how often the death of a band member has ended so many great bands over the years...
There are so many great songs to choose from, but only one for today. And I'm in the mood for "Immigrant Song":
Black Sabbath
Formed in Birmingham in 1968, they started out by a very different name, the Polka Tulk Blues Band. The following year they changed to Black Sabbath to make them distinctive with the occult sound of the name. Fronted by the late Ozzy Osbourne they went on to become one of the greatest rock bands of all time. Last year they reunited on last time prior to the death of Ozzy all knowing that his end was near, and still put on one hell of a show.
Here is a classic from 1970 called "Paranoid":
Deep Purple
This band is the only one of three that is still in existence. Well, at least in some form or another. They initially formed in 1968 in London, England. Drummer Ian Paice is the only original member of the band remaining as a band member. Several different lineups have been together over the years and several other big bands have been formed from past members. Two big ones being Rainbow (featuring Dio) and Whitesnake (featuring David Coverdale.)
But back when they started out I think they made the best music. One of my favorites has always been "Space Truckin'" from 1972.
That will wrap up this Three Tune Tuesday, and I hope you enjoyed it! I know one man that most certainly did: @silvertop ! Please feel free to leave any comments or questions below and thank you for all of your support. It's greatly appreciated. Have a great day everyone!

They are great bands and before my time too really. However, I must admit I most remember hearing their hits on Juke Boxes in pubs. Remember them hehe!
Great music and seeing any of those bands live would have been mental!
Before my time for sure, but all songs I heard well into the 80's. Seeing them live back in the day would have been amazing!

Awesome! Led Zeppelin is my favorite band of all times and Black Sabbath is right there on the top 5
Thanks, they were a great band that ended far too early. It happens to many of the greats sadly!

This post is super informative, really. As a fan of this genre, it's a pleasure to learn about its origins and discover interesting facts about each British band, like Led Zeppelin. That song you put at the beginning is a gem, by the way.
Excellent top.
I'm glad you enjoyed them, many of these bands spawned other big bands down the road. It was way before my time buy an interesting time in the music world!

Ah all week I've had 'Hush' in my head - there's a new double glazed window company in town called Hush and I can't think of them without thinking of Deep Purple.. these three bands are always great to listen to, and we have a few on vinyl. Led Zepp is always my fave. Add a bit of Hawkwind though!
Glad you enjoyed it! I have all three on various vinyl I bought over the years, but most were before my time. I grew up in the 80's! I am out of mana voting power at the moment, so I'm sending a tip instead!

Aw very kind. I was a teenager in the 80s. Much preferred punk and alternative music back then to the 80s revival you have to endure at parties and TV now.
