 No Led Zeppelin!?!
I was putting together a 70's iMix today and I was shocked and appalled to find that there are no Led Zeppelin tracks available for purchase from iTMS! Now I know Apple is constantly adding artists to the pile, but how could ANY collection be complete without Led Zeppelin? Maybe this is an just oversight on Apple's part, but how can they add the cover band Dread Zeppelin and skip over one of the most influential rock bands of all time!?! I am at a loss ... Led Freakin' Zeppelin Man!

People say the same thing about the lack of the Beatles.

OMG! You're right, that's even worse ... I thought it might have something to do with a stingy record label, but a quick look at Amazon showed The Beatles recording on Capitol Records for the most part and Led Zeppelin on Atlantic Records. Why would Apple pass over these music icons?

Well, as for the Beatles, Capitol records is still occassionally trying to sue Apple for using the name "Apple" ("Apple Records" is the Beatle's recording label, now apparently owned by Capitol) and this is, interestingly enough, the reason behind the system sound "Sosumi". They'll probably make up eventually, though. I'm sure a couple of other major labels will come on board soon, as iTunes has proved its effectiveness pretty well lately.

You're blaming the wrong party. It's not Apple's choice. Major bands have a say if their music can be sold online. The Red Hot Chili Peppers, for example, only have their greatest hits available. Mick Jagger had to authorize the Rolling Stones' catalog, and it even took personal lobbying from Steve Jobs to secure that one. Why don't you send an e-mail to Led Zep's management and complain.

Yeah, Apple didn't "forget" to include the Beatles, they simply couldn't secure a deal. The Beatles music is missing a huge market in my opinion, I don't know why they are ignoring the online sale of music. They must be playing it cautious. Speaking as someone who has just about every Beatle recording released, I would still probably by a few songs just for ceremonial purposes.

I read that the Beatles are planning on releasing their music for Digital Download via their own means of distribution.
