Led Zeppelin keeps popping up here. They’re either sounding like someone else or others are sounding like them. Check out some of the history of “Babe I’m Gonna Leave You“.
Led Zeppelin - "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You" (1969)
And now check these out!
Chicago - "25 or 6 to 4" (1970)
Green Day - "Brain Stew/Jaded" (1995)
White Stripes - "Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground" (2001)
Thanks to Craig for this set of gems!
Hey, cool blog. Just thought I’d let you know, though–the White Stripes track is actually “Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground.”
Heather, thanks for the heads up on the typo!
Sorry to say this, well noticed, but the chord structure of all four of those songs is based around one of the most popular guitar scales know nto man!! lol
Thus, the likelihood of them being similar is incredibly high. Smoke on the Water by Deep purple uses most of the same notes but in a different order.
Credit for noticing the alarming similarity though…..
May as well include Cream’s White Room and Tales of Great Ulysses while your at it.
That’s interesting, because according to Wikipedia, While My Guitar Gently Weeps features a guitar solo from Eric Clapton.
And “While My Guitar Gently Weeps”, if you speed it up.
