However it's the simple power chord bridge around the 2:40 mark that revealed that Zeppelin's album cuts could rock so hard and sound so fresh and unique. Like Houses of the Holy or Sick Again, Zep were able to create very heavy yet funky rockers; The Rover is more phenomenal as it is one of many classic Zep songs that were never performed live. That was the power of Zep above all their contempories, they had too many classic songs to play; a problem no other artist had.

Led Zeppelin (1975) The Rover
Originally starting as a acoustic number during their trip to Bron Yr Aur, it ended up being transformed into an electric mid tempo rocker with a lot of groove. This song first got me into Zeppelin five years ago, with it's swaggering riff, phased guitar and Page's clear cut guitar solo.
