366 - Led Zeppelin Communication Breakdown 1969

Led Zeppelin has been called the grandfathers of the "Heavy Metal" genre. At their height in the early to mid 1970s, they frequently outsold the Rolling Stones in concert tickets. And by 1973, they had sold more albums than any other band worldwide.
Every song on Zeppelin´s first album is a classic. "Communication Breakdown" is a frenzied rocker with a nearly punkish attack. "Communication Breakdown" would become monumental in its influence: In the documentary "Ramones - The True Story", Page's speeded up, downstroke guitar riff is cited as guitarist Johnny Ramone's inspiration for - and basis of - his punk-defining, strictly downstroke guitar strumming.
