I always remember liking music, even from very early on.

But my parents were never musically diverse, so growing up I was never really exposed to anything beyond what would be played on your typical classic rock/80's radio station...therefore, most of what I liked was The Beatles/Queen/The Doors/etc., etc...

So naturally, it makes sense that the first band to REALLY pique my interest is Led Zeppelin....their sound was so intense and heavy to me, and Robert Plant was a magnet (both for my ears and for my eyes..)

But at the beginning all I knew of them WAS their heavier material, so when I first heard Going to California, it really made me want to check out other genres, because I thought "wow, if they can be musically diverse, I want to be too!"
