Yeah, I've seen him do it, but he wrote it for Mott, they made it famous, and that's what we're voting on.

Oh, Whole Lotta Love.

Did you know that they used to blare Whole Lotta Love over the tank speakers in Viet Nam to scare Charlie?

Pitchfork.com
said: According to Joy Press and Simon Reynolds' The Sex Revolts , American soldiers in Vietnam would ride into battle blasting "Whole Lotta Love", the part where it roars out of its fuzzed-out miasmic free-jazz middle section and back into its titanic brontosaurus riff. It's a terrifying image, bloodthirsty heavily armed children fueling themselves with the heaviest, most violent music available. But it's oddly exhilarating, too, and that's the genius of the song. Zeppelin turned teenage sex-drive into apocalyptic precision-tooled violence. Even in that experimental stretch, the peals of feedback sound like bombs falling. --Tom Breihan
