Immigrant Song

I was going to say that I’m conflicted by the Trent Reznor/Karen O cover of Led Zeppelin’s Immigrant Song. Sure, the opening is pretty awesome - the driving beat which replaces the guitar riff at the beginning is pretty well done. And the closing few notes, so reminiscent of the the sounds from Broken and Fixed are not unlike eating lemon cookies for bringing back memories. But the Led Zeppelin version has that epic tone which really drives the song home.

Immigrant Song makes me want to stand in a line and charge across the tundra. The Reznor version makes me want to hang out and look sternly at a guy who used to beat me up.
