I suppose one of us is really showing his age here.. http://cadillacforums.com/forums/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif

The song is "Rock and Roll" from Led Zeppelin, circa 1969ish or so. Think it was from "The Song Remains the Same" album.

Led Zeppelin was the last of the 'supergroups' formed out of the detreius of the Yardbirds.

E. Clapton - after leaving YBs, formed Cream.
J. Beck - replaced Clapton, then left to work solo, <-- big car nut
J. Page - replaced Beck, then started Zep with R. Plant and J P Jones.

LZ was named by Keith Moon (RIP) of WHO fame, who theorized that a blues group fronted by R. Plant and J. Page would "go over like a lead zeppelin" ( e.g. "lead balloon")

Jim,
Very good!!:bouncy: You were the first to post! "Rock and Roll" by Led Zeppelin Man you must be older than dirt:D I love that song. Cadillac's first choice was a song by the Doors called I think "Break Thru" but the Doors turned it down.
I love to put the sunroof back and crank up the volume to "Rock and Roll"
A bit childish?:bouncy:
