Led Zeppelin’s “Babe I’m gonna leave you” sounds like Chicago’s “25 or 6 to 4″

by Adam Wagner

You’ll have to wait for 0:59 into “Babe I’m gonna leave you” to hear it’s signature riff.

Zeppelin’s “Babe I’m Gonna Leave You” was recorded Oct 1968 and released in January 1969.

Chicago’s “25 or 6 to 4″ was recorded Aug 1969 and released June 1970, seven months after “Babe I’m gonna leave you” had radio play.

    There’s a Green Day song called “Brain Stew” that sounds just like the Chicago song as well.

    @ Brittany – You’re right! I’ll post that as a follow-up. Nice catch.

    And how about all three of those songs having the same descending bass line as While My Guitar Gently Weeps by The Beatles.
