Do You Want Led Zeppelin to Stream Their Catalog of Music?

Led Zeppelin waited until 2007 to make their albums available on iTunes, so it's no surprise that the iconic rockers haven't jumped on-board with music streaming services yet.

However, according to The New York Times, soon you'll be able to add "Stairway to Heaven" to your playlists, because they are now in talks with Spotify, Rhapsody and Rdio to make their music available for streaming.

With more than 111 million albums sold, Led Zeppelin is one of the biggest-selling acts of all time, so if they decide to sign with a smaller service they could "tip the competitive scales." What do you think, SodaHeads? Do you want Led Zeppelin to stream their entire catalog or are you somewhat apathetic about it?

ROLLINGSTONE.COM reports:
Led Zeppelin are in talks with various subscription music services for the exclusive right to stream the band's catalog, The New York Times reports.

    I would say these guys can do whatever they want. I have all of their stuff in many different formats. If they stream, I'll enjoy it. Their stuff never gets old. Haven't seen Jimmy in a few years, Plant without hair. And when did Tim Geithner join Zeppelin? :)

    Oh good lord yes. I have Spotify, i've had it since it's launch. It's a perfect way to combat illegal streaming, and cost a very small amount. I would love to be able to hear Zeppelin on the service.

    I already own everything they've ever put out...so why pay yet more money to get it streaming. There should be a way that if we own it already, we should be able to get the new medium free or dirt cheap.

    The former generations of musicians are finally starting to realize the paradigm shift. The new generation doesn't want to buy plastic and vinyl. We want to see you live, hear you on the radio, and stream you on our phones & tablets.

    But I'll be damned before I give up vinyl!

    vinyl albums are awesome

    I'm not giving up my vinyl either, but I haven't bought a new vinyl album in over a decade. I have picked up some at thrift shops, etc. I enjoy the nostalgia, but someone born today may not even know what a record is when they are adults. It's no longer a good income model for artists. That's my point.

  • codenamev OA 2013/01/12 01:09:33

    No, I get what you're saying. But it's also part of the hipster ethos that vinyl is better because it's rarer, so that gets some customers, and then there are the vinyl collectors and the devotees (like myself) who believe that vinyl sounds better. It's not a big market, but it's significant.

    I like vinyl because it sounds better... not because it's 'hip' or 'rare' or whatever.
    I prefer vinyl for home listening, and mp3 for on the go.

    Me too. I have my iPod (argh) for the car, which is where I do most of my music listening. But when I'm at home and I'm in the mood to listen to something good, I whip out the good ol' vinyl.

    Although, while I respect the idea of the 180gm, I wish they would go back to standard. It doesn't seem to make a significant difference in quality, and it only gives about three-four songs a side, which is kind of a pain, but whatever.
