the Led Zeppelin underground test:
They were played commercial AM radio (not FM) in the late 60s, &
early 70s
They were a hits machine (like ABBA) constantly appearing in the Top 40
Their music was featured on the Lawrence Welk Show
If you disagree to any or all of those statement about Led Zeppelin then there is a strong chance that Led Zeppelin was "Underground." Despite events that happened
later like being one of the more popular artists on AOR/Classic Rock radio.
Since I am not familiar with all those rags I can't say for certain, but most of them were dedicated to what was called "counter-culture" music of the 60s etc.
