Led Zeppelin - Rock And Roll

Led Zeppelin - Rock And Roll

If I post shorter entries in the coming days, it might be because I'm spending more time playing MarioKart Wii. I've been addicted to this game since my brother and sister and I battled it out on the SNES; the latest version for the Wii was released today, and I love it!

MarioKart, driving, home, all these thoughts got me thinking about good driving songs. I haven't regularly driven a car since I moved to NYC, and I really miss driving with the windows rolled down and the stereo blasting. My favorite driving song is Led Zeppelin's Rock And Roll. Anything by Zeppelin will do, but Rock And Roll is my favorite for the car.

A few years back Zeppelin licensed the song to Chrysler. While it was a surprise to hear any Zeppelin song in any commercial (they've famously resisted all these years), I felt extra betrayed hearing that song used to promote cars.
