1. Weird, I never really got into LZ. Too apoplectic to me, I guess.

Pink Floyd, The Who. Traffic., Morrison, Jeff Beck were my British Sweet Spot.

3. I love all of those, too. I'm trying to recall if I ever heard Zeppelin described as apoplectic. Apocalyptic at

times, yes. Very powerful songs.

Always loved Led Zeppelin. Love the blues rock, hard rock and prog rock influences. Robert Plant's interest in fantasy, Welsh mythology and Vikings appeals to me. My family is Welsh on one side, German tracing back to Denmark on the other. This song, like "Immigrant Song" which I also love - https://www.democraticunderground.com/10181683849 - is about Vikings -
https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/led-zeppelin-song-no-quarter-meaning/ - and it suited my mood last night.

Heart does a very good cover of this song.

4. You're welcome! I've noticed looking at YouTube comments that a lot of their fans say this is

their very favorite Zeppelin song (mine is "Ramble On" as I've mentioned at times here).
