    Somewhere between Presence and In Through the Out Door, disco, punk, and /p>

    ew wave had overtaken ock & roll, and Led Zeppelin chose to tentatively embrace these pop revolutions, adding synthesizers to the mix and emphasizing John Bonham's inherent way with a groove. The album's opening number, "In the Evening," with its stomping rhythms and heavy, staggered riffs, suggests that Zeppelin haven't deviated from their course, but by the time the rolling shuffle of "South Bound Suarez" kicks into gear, it's apparent that they've regained their sense of humor. After "South Bound Suarez," the group tries a variety of styles, whether it's an overdriven homage to Bakersfield county called "Hot Dog," the layered, Latin-tinged percussion and pianos of "Fool in the Rain," or the slickly seductive allad "All My Love." "Carouselambra," a lurching, self-consciously ambitious synth-driven number, and the slow lues "I'm Gonna Crawl" aren't quite as impressive as the rest of the album, but the record was a graceful way to close to Zeppelin's career, even if it wasn't intended as the final chapter.

Young Love - Ain't in Grand ???

Ahhhhh Jeff Husted. My first "real" boyfriend - you know the boy… can't say "I love you", but can write I <3 You on the bottom of your KSwiss sneakers before you head to Phoenix for a wedding. Was my first real kiss too… definitely not my best kiss (I walked away with bruises thanks to my braces & his hard mouth pressure)… no, the good kisses, those would come later, but he beat out Jason

I know, I know. Seriously, I do actually listen to and like songs from this decade...but dammit, I love this song (plus how many songs have their very own wiki page?). And the fender stratocaster Jimmy Page was ripping happened to be made the year I was born.
