In a roundtable discussion among several writers from Defector Music Club, the group reflects on Led Zeppelin’s album Presence, nearly 49 years post-release. Members reminisce about their personal experiences with the album and its impact on their lives. Dave McKenna shares how the album marked his transition into serious rock fandom, recalling the excitement of purchasing it and listening to it on his father's record player. The conversation highlights the nostalgia surrounding the album, with musings on its musical complexity and the joy it brought to their younger selves.
'I was already a Zeppelin fan because you pretty much had to be in my world... I bought it the day it came out... I swear I remember the moment I put the needle on my dad's record player down.'
'Relistening took me right back. What a great time to be alive and young and dumb and drunk... I was air drumming all over again on "Nobody's Fault But Mine."'
