25 years later, Led Zeppelin's influence can still be felt

By Matt Hill | September 26, 2005

There's a certain element of mysticism and magic to the music of Led Zeppelin: it's an intangible quality that, even back in 1969 -- when their phenomenal self-titled debut album was released -- distinguished the band from its varied and eclectic influences, ranging from blues to British folk.
