Ozzie: Robot References Don't Make '70s Hard Rock Any Better
As crappy as it must have been to be a group attempting to negotiate original music during the early years of the seventies without the support of a major label, it has to be as frustrating for those folks to watch the continual dusting off of old records.

But at the time, crossing over into whatever sound was then in a songwriter’s head and moving back towards more distinctive stock was the point. It didn’t frequently result in stardom. But there’s more than a handful of bands being dug up that appreciated prog as much as Zeppelin.
