Who was first, Sabbath or Zeppelin?
Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin were the very first two bands to define heavy metal as a music genre! With their heavy riffs and awesome lyrics they rocked the world! Now, 40 years later, after some comebacks both bands have retired but it doesn't stop todays dj's to create great covers. Some are bad, but then some are really good. The Australian dj Dirty South gave it a shot and it ended up pretty good! "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You" was recorded on Led Zeppelins debut album! They were inspired by Joan Baez who recorded the track 1962, originally written by Anne Bredon in the 1950's!

Another great track that Dirty South made a cover on was the song called "The End" released by The Doors on their self-entitled album in 1967! It was an emotional song with an Oedipus complex in it, confusing and at the same time enlightening listeners. The song was also used in Francis Ford Coppola's 1979 film Apocalypse Now in which its dark, poetic passage marked the film's descent into the surreal.
Also worth mentioning is Arno Cost's remix of the Dirty South cover, which in fact is being played right now besides me! Enjoy!
