Song of the Day: Ramble On

Ramble On by Led Zeppelin. Released in 1969 on Led Zeppelin ll. Despite not hitting the charts the song still gets plenty of radio time and was ranked 440 on Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Songs of All Time list. The interesting thing about this song and you’d never know unless you really dug into the lyrics, but the song and it’s lyrics were influenced by J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings. Lead singer Robert Plant was a huge fan of the books and thus came Ranble On which is a song about about the narrator being in Mordor, and fighting Gollum and The Evil One(Sauron) over a girl. Again, you pretty much catch none of this unless you look into. Other than that it’s just a great rock song.
