I guess I'll use Pandora to check Little Feat out. Only the name is familiar but I must know some of their music. I briefly saw Jimmy Page and Robert Plant on the TV but didn't know their bidness. I remember making out with Mary-Lou Herman to Stairway to Heaven. Truly classic.
All the recent talk of Led Zeppelin has really taken me back. When they first came out in the US in 1969, I was barely 20 years old, a junior in college. Their first two albums were large hits and got heavily overplayed as they were mandatory at any party or gathering. I quickly got tired of them, especially Stairway To Heaven.
Later that summer I heard them live at a large pop festival in Atlanta
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlanta_International_Pop_Festival_(1969). It was about a month before Woodstock, it didn't rain, there was no mud, and it never got the press coverage that Woodstock got. Many of the same performers were at both festivals. Led Zep's live performance, almost instantly, made me a very big fan. They were excellent live and the guitarist Jimmy Page was clearly the dominant performer, not the singer Robert Plant. Unlike many of the other performances I saw that July at Atlanta, Led Zep showed they knew how to captivate and own the crowd. Their recordings didn't always convey that so well, in my opinion.
In my opinion, the two best US bands during the entire decade of the 1970s were The Grateful Dead and Little Feat. Little Feat's album covers were in a class of their own. I know this depends on a person's age, other opinions can & will vary, yadda yadda, but I'll happily stick to my opinions
