🎵 Led Zeppelin - What Is and What Should Never Be REACTION 

More than 50 years later, "Led Zeppelin II" is still one of the 10 best albums ever recorded... Raw and soulful genius at play.

Every time I watch this couple react to zeppelin. One totally gets it. And the other doesn’t. No prizes for guessing which is which 😀

for me this is one of the very best songs Zeppelin ever made.

Lex got it! And Brad sits and scratches his head. LED ZEP RULES AND THE REST DOESNT

Dear Lex Zeppelin, Brad needs your help urgently.

Never stop reacting to great music. Especially Zeppelin.

That Bass line is epic!

I'm with Lex on this one, this one is a full vibe, this album is my favorite Zeppelin from start to finish, my high school sound track

Perfect example of the ingenuity of Led Zeppelin... a band that can transition from low gear into hard rock almost instantaneously. Serious musicians love Zeppelin for their transcendent musical virtuosity.

The first time listening to this song I was maybe 9. It was with headphones and a top of the line stereo. In its original form the music was stereophonic and moved very noticeably from ear to ear. I never heard anything like it in my life, I was in music heaven. Completely lost in the sound not knowing where it was going to lead me. Still love this whole album

"Lemon everywhere!" he says. Brad's self-satisfied smile contrasted against Lex's revulsion and confusion. I felt that.

The greatest band ever assembled!!! Rock GOD’S!

This is a moody masterpiece from more than half a century ago, and it hasn't yet begun to get old. And I just love that completely changed up funky ending with Robert's layered vocals.

LEMON EVERYWHERE!!!...and Lex's reaction to that is impeccable timing gold...BRAD!...YOU MADCAP!...you two are the best!

A little Led Zed every day is good for you.

Brad needs to get lit before his next Zeppelin song. Literally the only reactor I’ve seen who genuinely doesn’t get it yet.

No, this shouldn't be the last one; keep 'em coming, please!

Such a great tune, one of those LZ songs that takes you on a little journey.

Lex gets jealous of Bjork and Brad gets jealous of Plant. "Dropping lemons" 🤣

Robert Plant owns one of the greatest voices of all time. Led Zeppelin put out some of the most immortal songs ever.

Remember laying on the sand after surfing ZEPP on the transistor radio . Loved this song . Learned to play this slide with a drinking glass . Fun days . Peace out y'all.

Great choice. I hear what Lex is preaching, this song is like lounge jazz, hard rock, and a rap/funky part all rolled up into one song. This song, "Since I've Been Lovin' You", and "The Rain Song" are my three favorites from LZ. Songs that show that they admire other types of music and make an effort to compose music that way. Plus, some might be equals, but no one is better at emoting with their voice than Robert Plant.

Led Zeppelin simply does not have a bad song! Beautiful!

One of my all-time favorite Zeppelin songs...along with The Lemon Song...The Rover and Custard Pie...

I always said hands down Zeppelin had the best endings to songs ever! The undisputed kings of ending songs!

This song came right after Whole Lotta Love ,which is an in your face driving rock song ,the contrast is amazing ,listen to them both at the same time and you will know what I mean .

That is one of the smoothest bass lines ever and with the guitar solo over it is perfection.

Yes, from my favourite Led Zeppelin album ever, when we heard this album the week of its release as freshman in high school we were blown away and we thought the first album was ground breaking. Those guys just plain were the best. From them try Wanton Song next, an underrated banger. Enjoy! 🎸

You know why you guys have so many subs, don’t you?? And it ain’t Brad! 😏 You GET IT, Lex! Love to watch you react to music….you feel it in your soul.

Glad you have a chance to check out this upcoming band. They're going to be big! Thanks for supporting new music!!! (seriously though... My all-time favorite Zep song... along with "Immigrant Song"... great stuff!)

One of the (many) great Zep tunes. JPJ really makes this cut with the awesome bass line.

Great voice & lyrics..guitar work is excellent...what a bass line ..rockin drums. LED ZEPPELIN!

Don't stop the Led Zeppelin reactions. There is so much more you guys need to explore! How about more Elvis reactions? :)

Another classic song from Zeppelin. So glad you two keep coming back to them. May I suggest for your next Zeppelin song, “Hey, Hey What Can I Do” which was originally only released in America as the B side to Immigrant Song.

Robert Plant uses his voice like an Instrument on so many of their songs- like at the end of this one.

It's funny because I always felt like Plant's vocals at the end were a sort of rap too. Great minds think alike. ;)

"Well, I'm happy for you." So diplomatic and cordial. HA! Well done, as always.

Light and Shade. It's a term Zeppelin used to describe the elements in their songs, and their songs compared to their other songs.

I put on my headphones for this one and Brad is like 'bleh, mediocre.' So glad Lex is there to discover this gem of a song.

Picture this. This album comes out in 1969-ish. By 1970 every teen in America has a home made surround sound system in their bedroom just to catch all the bouncing around the music does on this album. I personally built a 20 speaker system by scavenging every inch of speaker wire and speakers from every junkyard car I could find....built speaker towers out of old plywood and turned my bedroom in to Madison Square Garden. My dad cheered me on then went really really quiet as I went to plug the stereo in for the first time. He totally expected us to blow fuses or start a fire drawing all that juice. But we didn't. It was perfect. A wall of sound and when that music started bouncing from one side of the room to the other and the speakers were dancing....it was glorious. My dad hated the music but he loved the "engineering" of building a home made sound system so he let me blast my music as he went back to his garage and tinkered on his motorcycle. My poor mother threw up her hands and went to play cards with her friends up the street. Today's music will never inspire anyone to do anything like that. EVER.

What can you say that hasn't already been said? The Mighty Zeppelin.

The might Zepp, never disappoints✌🤩

Lex, I love your love for Led Zeppelin. And I have always loved this song! It's an unusual one, but it's just so cool!

If you're not moving to this jam, you're not hearing Led Zeppelin. You must feel this song in your soul!!

Brad didn't like this one, because the lyrics didn't explain the intended destination of the ship Robert Plant said he was going to sail away in, nor the chosen route and if the corresponding visa applications had been made and accepted.

Probably one of my top songs from this band.

I’m telling ya. You can never never go wrong with Zeppelin. NEVER. Lol

Brad, "lemon everywhere". Me, laughing my ass off.

Props to the both of you for showing your individual honest reactions. That said, one appreciates the musical hues, tones and emotions. The other, totally tone-deaf. Not expecting to love the song, but in 99% of the time, couldn’t even acknowledge the level of artistry or musicianship of the band we all love. 🤘🤘🤘

Lex -- you are a hoot . A refreshing free-spirited person who doesn't take herself so seriously. What a pleasure watching y'all's channel. How one doesn't like this song , especially the mind-blowing outro , is beyond me . Don't think yall heard it - especially Brad . I mean - truly heard it . Some songs take repeated listenings . Brad was tuned out on this one . And when Lex mentions the "rap" vocals at the end , Brad replies - The chorus ? What ? Come on, man . Get out of your own head and hear what The Zepp is playin' !!

Great tune, fun use of slide guitar and "panning" the guitar from left to right. And those vocals!!

Saw them play August, 1969 at the Carousel in Framingham MA. Plant announced that they were playing this song for the first time in front of a live audience. Got to see Page using the bow for my first time. Led II came out 2 months later.

Who are those people? Lol! Always more Zeppelin. They are a vibe, so talented & diverse. They will always remain relevant, discovered by new fans, and worshipped until the end of time. Thanks!

Like the confused look on her face when Brad says, “Lemon everywhere “. Hahaa

That song was really funky at the end. "Ten Years Gone" would a good song next time.

Zeppelin, the kings of rock and roll in my opinion. So many great bands were inspired by these legends. So glad I got to see them in concert.

Zeppelin never gets old. Please keep `em coming.

such a great song for its time.......classic rock at its finest!

My opinion is that Lex NEEDS her own reaction channel. That is all.

Love Zeppelin!

How does Brad not totally dig this vibe? Haha

Oh, this is an oldie....had this 8 track in my 1963 Ford Fairlane 260 V8 with 3 on da tree!

Hard to say what my favorite Led Zeppelin song is, there are just too many. But, this is certainly in the running!!

Nice Lex. I've got a lot of friends who can take or leave Zeppelin but to me, they are easily the best band i've ever heard. I think its time you listened to the song, "The Song Remains the Same", just so you can get Brad back on side.

Why doesnt Brad ever get it? I mean it wasnt rappin but you could see what Lex was talking about! Lex is the perfect reactionary (?)

Never stop listening to Zep!

There's never enough Led Zeppelin.

My favorite Zeppelin song....blues that explodes. ❤

This song shows just how influenced they were from jazz & blues

Lex I'm happy for you also. You are 100% correct Zeppelin is one of the best bands Ever.

Damn, Brad, “Lemon everywhere!” You had me laughing and Lexi’s wondering sideeye extended my laughter far longer. Joy to watch you both

I noticed Lex instantly started moving during the slow bluesy beginning. You should react to TEA FOR ONE from the PRESENCE album.

Keep doing Zep. The people complaining don't understand Zep.

Led Zep II is my favorite album and this is one of my favorite tunes on the album. Recently learned to play it on the bass. Love it, Love you guys.

NEVER TIRED OF LISTENING TO ZEPPELIN.

This is my first time commenting. And yeah, there was a rap-like part to it towards the end. I've done some Led Zeppelin songs at Karaoke before and when I did "Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You", they said that everyone there got goose bumps. The same thing happened when I did that song "Lightning Crashes" from Live -- They said that they all got goose bumps. But here's a really interesting story relating to Prince. Back in 1983, a year after the "1999" album, I was at home by myself one day and was really bored. I saw the "1999" album laying around and decided to check it out. I remember hearing some of the songs on the radio -- "1999", "Little red Corvette", and "Delirious". It was a double album set. I started going through all of the songs and played some parts of each one to see what they were all like. Then I got to that song "Free", and it really touched me. Then I realized that there was more to him than I thought. So I stopped there and went back again and played more of each song, and listened to them more carefully. I got through the whole album (or I should say through both albums). And it blew my mind. I thought, "Wow! This guy is a musical genius". And there's only one other group I ever said that about since then... And that's Led Zeppelin. So I started really getting into it and singing along with the songs. And I went and got that self-titled album he did "Prince" that has "I Wanna Be Your Lover", and the other songs it has. And I got into it and started singing along to those songs, too. But Prince didn't come out with an album that year so I thought he had retired from music and that the "1999" album was it, his last album. But then I had a dream where I was standing in this backyard, and I looked over to my left, and I saw this garage that had been painted purple. Then I looked over to my right, and I saw Prince standing there and painting his house purple. And he said, "I have to hurry because it's going to rain pretty soon". Then he stopped and went inside. And then it started raining, and the rain was purple. Then about four months after that, the "Purple Rain" album came out. And I remembered that dream and realized that it was a prediction of the "Purple Rain" album. That still blows my mind when I think about that. And then I had another experience. Of course I was excited about it when the "Purple Rain" album came out because I thought he had retired from music and I didn't expect that. So I went and got the album and checked out each song to see what they were all like. But this time I played all the songs straight through. And it was so cool. The style and the music was all fresh and new and different. And then that same night, I had a dream that I was playing that song "The Beautiful One's". And in this dream, I was singing along to it, and I sang the whole song word for word, even though I only played that song that one time and didn't know all the words. That was so freaky.

LMAO... Lemons everywhere...! Classic Brad.. you guys rock.. great reaction... love the channel..

“Do ba do a bop bop a do oh”!

Brad really doesn’t know good songs. This is definitely not his first time not in favor of a amazingly talented, classic, iconic band that nails it on basically every song. I only watch this RU-vid once in a while to see Lex enthusiasm for the greats.

I love watching you guys you bounce off each other but are comfortable in being a different mind to each other

I'm REALLY happy for you Lex!! 🥳 If you were my lil sis back in the day...I'd have dragged you to every concert I saw...you'd have seen em!! ❤👍🏽😉

Check out Thin Lizzy Dancing in the Moonlight from 1977. Classic.

Come on Brad, you've come a long way in a year but you got a wall up when it comes to Zeppelin, ever since your stairway to heaven reaction you took the cameramans angle and prematurely prejudged the band based on that, if that was a straight on waist up or above shot you'd have appreciated that song and the band much more than you did and do, look into the less mainstream tunes they have cuz there is so much to explore with these guys, heavy rock, ballad rock, blues, bluegrass, folk, psychedelic rock, and yes even country, unlike most bands they have music that can be played on just about every radio station, i know I lived it, Lex has got it down with these guys.

In the 70's we referred to songs like this as "trippy". Kind of how you feel on acid or mushrooms. Those drugs took you on trips or journeys you didn't plan. Just like these songs. Have no doubt, drugs had significant influence in that era's song writing. We had the advantage of being on the same drugs at the same time as the people that wrote the songs. We would be on the same drugs listening to the music as the composers were when they wrote said music. In Seattle in the late 60's and 70's the Seattle Center would have "Laserium" shows where they would play say the whole "Dark Side of the Moon" album in a theatre with a Laser show on the ceiling. We would go there just gacked up on shrooms, acid or mescaline and lay on the floor and "TRIP OUT" for an hour or two. It's amazing that the City of Seattle didn't catch on to the purpose of "Laserium" being for kids to trip out on hallucinogenics en mass in public. It went on for years. Thank you my ignorant elders. I am now 66 years weird.

I enjoy the almost sleepy vocals Robert gives us here. Cold & snowy in my area today. Looking forward to an afternoon nap with my youngest puppy & my purringest cat in my lap. I strained the muscles in my neck last week & have been nursing the pain ever since.

I seriously thought you had checked this out already, because you've done a good job at uncovering the LZ "stones" that have had significant radio play. I'm glad you are continuing your dive into their music. It's such a satisfying swim! Edited: I just read the description saying people are complaining it's too much LZ. I personally don't think that's possible! 😁 But if that's what the masses want, I think you should continue to explore their catalog on your own. Lex seems to genuinely enjoy them, so don't deny yourself the pleasure.

A song about an affair Robert was having with his wife's sister. This song and this album emphasized an essential element in Zep's musical formula: "Light" and "Shade." Musical drama, contrasts, transitions. Perfected on this album, expanded upon in future albums.

Always love the Zeppelin reactions. So jazzy is right Lex!

Please don’t let this be your last Zep reaction they are a great band and you two are perfect in critiquing them

I love the bass part on this song.

Was given this record (Led Zeppelin II) for my 10th birthday back in 1971 and still listen to it to this day. Received the second Jackson 5 album, too, that day--ABC--and still listen to THAT, as well. Two works of genius!

Lex, you got it. You nailed it. When first hearing this song I really got into the variations of the highs and low. Yes , he was rapping on the end. Cool way to finish the song. One of my favorites.

I agree with Lex that was an awesome section that sounded like rapping, very cool groove this song has

Lex, your reactions while your listening are priceless. So honest to what your feeling, don't hold back cuz of brads reaction to your reaction..lol

Lemon everywhere!! 😂🤣

love your reaction Lex as usual 🤪,you’re a real music lover👍

Brad seems grumpy today …….. eat a Snickers!

Love Zeppelin & CouchGang !!

Liten to that bass line by John Paul Jones. Awesome!

I never knew the name of this song 😂 I love it so much. To be fair I don't hear it too often
