Momentum
This song has not appeared on a Rotation chart, so it has no score and no receipts. The rank history below is the ledger; a score is only published once the momentum run puts it on a chart.
Why it's here
Jimmy Page wrote the song specifically to answer George Harrison's complaint to John Bonham that Led Zeppelin never wrote ballads, quoting the opening two chords of the Beatles' "Something" as a nod to Harrison. [1] The song uses an alternative DGCGCD guitar tuning, a variation of DADGAD, and features John Paul Jones on Mellotron to build its orchestral sound. [2] Producer Rick Rubin has praised the track's detail and mood, saying it 'defies classification' and that he could listen to it all day. [3]
In culture
Every place this record has lived. A solid chip states a fact and carries the citation that earns it; a dashed one is a connection somebody drew, and carries their name instead.
