Stairway to iTunes

Led ZepplinEvery time we mention a certain British foursome whose music is not yet on the iTunes Store, at least one reader invariably exclaims, in outraged indignation: “OMFG, those guys sux0r! Led Zeppelin FTW!” We’re not really sure who this guy is, but one thing’s clear: he really likes Led Zeppelin.

Well, mysterious reader, your wish may be coming true in part. British paper The Observer reports that a compilation album of the works of Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones, and the late John Bonham is heading to the iTunes Store on November 12th. The album, titled Mothership, will feature tracks picked by the surviving members of the group, including hits like “Stairway to Heaven,” “Whole Lotta Love,” and “Dazed and Confused.”

It’s unknown whether or not this is a one-off, or perhaps a test of the Internet download waters. But with Zeppelin finally entering the fray, there is one fewer major holdout. And once again, eyes are sure to turn to that other British quartet.
