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 -

Heart does a very good cover of this song.
