Song of the week

This featured song isn't exactly the best song out there but it is well known. Led Zeppelin is one of the most private and smart bands on the market today. For example, it wasn't until very recently that Zeppelin was offered on iTunes (I can't imagine the funds Robert Plant, Jimmy Paige, and John Paul Jones were paid). The song, Rock N' Roll, was the first song ever and probally will be the only song to apper on a commercial. This was one of the biggest suprises ever mainly because Led Zeppelin has some most of the sought after songs. Which brings up another point why haven't Zeppelin songs been used for games like guitar hero and rock band? I'll tell you now you will never see their songs on a game like that, Why? Zeppelin doesn't do do that, frankly I think it's the money, but Jimmy Paige would publicly disagree. But in an old rare interview with Paige the reporter asked "What do you see when the curtain opens and there are tens of thousands of cheering fans in front of you" and Paige replied,"All that money." Which leads me to believe it's really all about the money... Or, is it really keeping the integrity of the band? Either way it has worked.
