Hey Hey Mama

Led Zepplin and Rush are both awesome and they're kind of similar in that I think they both were pioneers and both of them had some of the most skilled players ever. There's no topping Neil Pert on drums, and Jimmy Page is pretty huge for a reason. These albums both have long periods of instrumentals but unlike 2112, Zepp 4 is all singles. I like Zepplin 4 a lot lot more and this album was much more successful than 2112. 
I like to listen more than analyze which I think Zepp 4 may seem so much more appealing to me.

Dark Side of The Moon

This has always been one of my favorite albums ever. The first song I learned to play on guitar was Brain Damage and I think it's the one song I've never gotten sick of. I feel like in the past when I've tried to learn a song and I've heard it over and over I've grown to hate it, but that never happened with Brain Damage. I also think Money is an amazing song, and I can jam to it, but I almost like the acoustic version more. I love this album, but I like The Wall more so hopefully we can listen to some of that too.

Glam Rock

Glam rock was a 70s rock movement that began in Britain with bands like TRex. Glam Rock saw huge commercial success with David Bowie and Elton John. The main characteristic of glam rock was cross dressing or the intent to appear transsexual. Pretty much everything was the same as regular rock except for the whole glitter and transgender stuff.
