Led Zeppelin III

Once again - greatest hits album made by Led Zeppelin might be the best records in the history, but their respective releases are quite troublesome, as is this album. Immigrant Song and Since I've been Loving You go straight to the pantheon of greatest songs, the rest is an annoying slugfest - very skippable. I know I might commit sacrilege by saying that, but overall Led Zeppelin is just a solid band with quite a few great songs and many below average ones.

Finally Zeppelin! Listened to this quite recently but always worth a revisit. III is the odd one out amongst the first 4 with the more acoustic driven sound and doesn’t have as many big hits but it’s got more atmosphere than any of their other records. Immigrant Song is such an unusual way to start the album because it doesn’t reflect the rest of it at all. But it’s a banger. Then it really picks up at since I’ve been loving you. Gallows Pole is one of my favourite Zeppelin songs, manic and tragic at the same time. Tangerine and That’s the way also star. Maybe not all Zeppelin albums will get 5 stars, but this will

Not sure I’ve ever listened to a LZ album through but really enjoyable. Started hot and tailed off a bit

He's obviously a great guitarist but as a band I think they are massively overrated. Robert Plant is so annoying! The best thing about them is John Paul Jones and his orchestral arrangements, especially on 'Automatic For The People' which I listened too once I'd struggled through this!

Very, very bluesy! Did not expect this to be so heavily influenced by Robert Johnson and the other 1930s blues legends. Immediately I now want to listen to “King of the Delta Blues”. There were some slightly weaker moments, especially the slightly cringy “Tangerine”, but I really liked the vast majority of this record. The closer goes full on with the wavy blues guitaring, and Immigration Song, Friends, Celebration Day, and Since I’ve Been Loving You open this record on such a high.

Pretty good but far from their best album. Big fan of Immigrant Song, Tangerine and Bron-Y-Aur Stomp, but the tracks in between were just okay.

Interesting vocals.

Álbum clássico de rock. muito bom. QoA Adonis New.

Immigrant Song just flat-out rocks. Tangerine and That's the Way were nice.

My mom asked me to turn it off

Dramatisch maar Very nice

Love this album.

132/1089 - Woah! What are the odds of getting two albums by the same artist back to back? I know it gets more likely as you go on with the project so it's pretty cool it happened early on for me! On to the review, it started strong. Honestly, Immigrant Song, Friends, and Since I've Been Loving You are worth the 5 on their own. The folksier B side was nice overall and a little strange on the last song (but it makes sense with historical context).

There's a reason

Un grand album, dommage qu'ils aient enregistré Robert Plant dans sa salle de bain sur la moitié du disque.

I can see why this is a classic, great instrumentals, vocals are unique and enjoyable. 3.7

Rock, 1970 -> 3

Don’t want name recognition to cloud bias but this was a solid album.

As someone who only knows the top hits from zeppelin, I really enjoyed the other songs I didn’t know because of how almost experimental they sounded. Killer album.

Right up there with any of thier best work

I was already familiar with this album. It's great. It showcases Led Zeppelin's softer acoustic side very well. Of course it also has bangers too in Immigrant Song and Since I've Been Loving You. It is probably Zeppelin's most underrated album, but that's really only because they have so many great albums and this one is easy to overlook. I would listen to this album any time.

This is good, because of course it is, because it’s Led Zeppelin. This one is a little too psychedelic for me though. I preferred the more structured albums (Led Zeppelin II) and the harder rock and roll (Physical Graffiti).

School of rock!

Great start to the album with Immigrant Song. Rest of album in very good, and shows their versatility.

Another wonderful listening experience. Can’t give it a 5 because it’s not quite on the level of IV but it’s damn close

listened while walking down a highway shoulder. downloaded 1,4,5,6,7&8

Since I've been loving you is fantastic.

Very nice!

Classic band not the best songs

fazla iyi

One of my favorite albums. Such good instrumentals, tons of feeling throughout.

Yeah led zep isn't my thing at all. Would I revisit: nah.

immigrant song- overplayed. but okay. 6 friends- 6 celebration day- 5 since ive been loving you- 5 out on the tiles- 5 gallows pole- 5 tangerine- this album is so fucking long dude. 5 thats the way- 4 bron y aur stomp- 5 hats off to roy harper- 5 very boring

23/05/2025 Twas good that.

So much drama in every performance. It works though. Not the best zeppelin album but pretty darn close.

Tangerine is one of my top favorite songs of all time. 4

I ATE THIS ONE UP SORRY

In some ways this is the most accessible Zeppelin album. Less blues/rock and more acoustic/folk sounds but that doesn’t diminish the sound in any way. Not my favorite by them but a very solid offering nonetheless.

There's a reason these guys have a lasting foothold in the music industry and culture as a whole. I'd never heard this all the way through, but wow it was great. I really enjoyed this.

Immigrant song og Since I’ve been loving you, hadde jeg hørt før. Begge to fantastiske låter. Resten av albumet ga meg ikke noe som helst lignende kick, dessverre.

Enjoyed this

Its a 4 from me, very listenable

This is the best Zeppelin. It's all good, but this lives at the very top of the top shelf.

Okay

Need to listen to more of them

The weakest of the first four I reckon

4.8 - Ooooo, led zep are fast moving up my favourites list

Not my favourite Led Zep, but its still pretty solid. I reckon you can cut this one from the 1001, despite how good Immigrant Song is - that's definitely a 1001 songs you have to hear song. Fave Tracks: Immigrant Song, Tangerine 3.6/5

Immigrant Song and Tangerine the only real stand-outs here for me.

Zeppelin is not a thing for me.

It’s a crusher front-to-back. Now some non-sequiturs. 1. I remember watching them play “Since I’ve Been Loving You” on a DVD from a performance in the late 70s and my brain exploding with the speed and sheer coolness of JP’s playing. 2. It sounds like Heart took the opening riff from “Gallows Pole” and repurposed it for “Crazy on You” and honestly killer move if so. 3. Way more acoustic jams than I remember. Honestly, fantastic album. It’s incredible that by number 3 (and those that came after) they were staying true, tweaking the formula, and taking some risks that had big payoffs.

I wish I liked them more but they’re just ok to me.

The weirdest Led Zep album but also still great. From the singles like Immigrant Song to the Lite Rock fare like Tangerine or That's The Way, to the bluesy hidden gem at the end, it's a great listen through and through.

i know it’s like objectively good (i assume) but it’s just so not my style i’m sorry

This Zeppelin did not achieve lift off.

Since I’ve Been Loving You is one of the all-time (we should) break up songs, with Let Her Cry and Can’t You See. Loved the folk bent in the second half of the album, too.

Not my fave Zep

Zero preamble into The Immigrant Song is so mesmerizing as an intro. Got me pumped.

Definitely in the running for best opening track of all time.

The blues-y side of Zeppelin really comes out on this one. A great album.

I mean, it's zeppelin. I'd give it 4 stars if it was just Bonham's drum stems. Maybe 5 stars in that case.

First time I have listened to this in it's entirety in a long time. Surprised me how messy the mix was but that only adds to the nostalgia. I can't undervalue how much influence some of these tracks had on me as a kid. If I had to be critical it's probably a 4.25 but bonus points for letting me get the led out on my drive to work this morning.

I’ve had this chord progression I’ve been messing around with for a while now and it’s been so familiar, but I just couldn’t place it. Turns out it was Tangerine. I wish I could have actually written it instead of ripping it off by accident. Great song and a great album! While this isn’t my favourite Zeppelin album, I’m pretty sure they’ll all get a 5/5 from me as they were one of my first musical obsessions.

Remarkably haven't listened to this one in full before. One listen in, I feel like I've missed out on this. For all of IV being my favourite, there is a heck of a lot of value in this one too. Gotta probably be a near 5, let's round up!

Great start with immigrant song to kick it off. Amazing musicians who can’t do much wrong.

Amazing album from one of the most consistent bands in terms of quality of albums. The acoustic numbers are just as good as the electric heavier rock you would expect from them, just awesome throughout

why does the lead singer of zeppelin sound like Jack white

I feel bad for not liking this as much as I feel like I should.

Not a bad album! I liked mix of Blues, English Folk, and Hard Rock. Plant, Jones, and Bonham really nicely together. It just some of the slow songs dragged a bit.

Took me by surprise. Tangerine is a tune

Wow I thought I would hate this, and I actually quite enjoyed it! Shocking

Many bangers

So epic.

The sheer size, legend and faux mysticism of Led Zeppelin's sound can make it easy to overlook just how amazingly ludicrous so much of their stuff really is. Who could fail to love the storming 'Immigrant Song', a song that is the result of when this bunch of (very) English plebs decided to pretend to be Vikings for the day. "Valhalla, I am coming" indeed.

Not their best

Seemed really nice to me. I am not Led Zeppelin fan, but the music is definitely nice. It is not my cup of a tea, so I probably wont come back to it, but it was definitely worth it.

Things I like +5 stars for the 'The immigrant song' +3 stars for 'since I've been loving you' +3 stars for 'Tangerine' Things I don't like - 2 stars for 'hats off to Roy Harper' - 4 stars for 'non-consentual' sex play with fish (google led zeplin + mud shark) - 2 for Jimmy Page for underage relations. = +3 I usually bang on about judging the art, not the artist, I have made an exception to my rule today.

Since I’ve Been Loving You is an all-time favourite track of mine, it has a funny and memorable anecdote to go with it, but the story is not appropriate for a public review!! 😳 All 3 stars are for that track. The pedal squeaking is endearing rather than annoying, but once you hear it, you can never unhear it! Not as big a fan of this album as the other 2 Zeppelin albums we’ve had so far, and still gets a minus star for the band members being pervy creeps.

Listens: 2 Standout Tracks: Since I've Been Loving You, Immigrant Song, Gallows Pole Since I've Been Loving You has a great blusey feel to it. It's probably the pinnacle of the album for me. I've heard Immigrant Song before, and so it helped that it was the first song on the album for me - to get into mindset of 70s hard rock, but it feels... overplayed somehow? I've heard it (or renditions of it) in at least two movies: Thor Ragnarok and The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.

Second of what I'm guessing is quite a few Zep albums on this list. Of course it's part of the classic first 4 releases, and might be my second favorite next to IV. The band seems like they're really starting to branch out from the early heavy blues sound to try out some new textures. A Megadeth cover of "Out on the Tiles" years back tuned me into how great of a song that one was, it had kind of hidden itself from me compared to tracks like "Immigrant Song", "Celebration Day", "Tangerine", etc. Definitely loses a bit of steam on the second half, but overall a really solid album from their classic early era with teases of some more variety to come in future albums.

Sounds great but when paying attention I thought there was not so much substance

Vallan kivasti kuunneltava, miellyttävä vikaa biisiä lukuun ottamatta. Ymmärrän, miksi Led Zeppelin on ohittamaton, ehkä senkin, miksi joka albumin pitää olla tällä listalla: soundi on joka levyllä sama, tunnistettava, mutta silti ei ihan täysin kyllästytä; tällä albumilla on omalla laillaan rauhallinen tunnelma.

Tähän oli vaikea päästä sisälle, kuten folkiin yleensäkin, mutta ensimmäisen kierroksen jälkeen jokin sai minut kuuntelemaan otteita uudelleen. Ennen kaikkea levy luo illuusion siitä, että jotain jäi vielä kuulematta, mikä on seurausta bändin country blues -fanituksesta. Olen vieläkin sitä mieltä, että Friends on kehno biisi kamalalla jousisovituksella. Mutta etenkin B-puolella illuusio kantaa (A-puolen avaavaa Immigrant Songia ei varmaan tarvitse kehua erikseen).

i loved this album! there are so many fantastic songs on it, but my absolute favorite is "tangerine". this song is BEAUTIFUL! i also love the duality of the album, with some intense heavy rock songs like "immigrant song" but then zeppelin has the ability to create beautiful ballads like "tangerine". i was going to say that this could be the best zeppelin album, but i had forgotten about their album that they released one year after this (led zeppelin IV) which is definitely my favorite.

Every time I run into an LZ album in here it feels like a resting point. They're always fresh yet familiar at the same time, and always a great listen

Honestly, I've never listened to a lot of Led Zeppelin. I actually thought I might like it more just because of how huge they are, but it really wasn't for me. Some great moments, but as a whole, it didn't pull me in.

Not my cuppa

Maximalist but also somewhat uninteresting. Lacks the shakedown grooves of Houses of the Holy or their live albums, which I like more. Mixing is very spacious, the drums sound killer, but its almost too dry in places. Sounds a bit flat and would like a bit more sludge. Guitar tone on Celebration Tone is amazing. Kind of gives me a headache. Favourite track: Celebration Day Least favourite track: Friends

Side A is great. Side B sadly doesn't live up. It's still good, I guess. It's just a little uninteresting. 'Immigrant Song' might be the coolest song on the face of the planet, though.

This album often gets a bad rap, but to be fair, it comes bookended by arguably two of the greatest rock albums ever recorded. While it may not have the star potential of either of those albums, it still contains some of Zep's best songs. "Immigrant Song" is one of their best-known songs, and it also includes one of my favorites, "Since I've Been Loving You." Easily 5 stars.

Really great album. Loved it

A very enjoyable listen. Not quite what I was expecting with it being much more toned down than I was anticipating. But no less of an album for that with some very good songs.

I love the immigrant song and whilst the rest of the album doesn’t live up to that, it is still a great listen with a great mix of styles. Look forward to hearing more from them.

5 stars for the first 20 seconds of the first song - this is a belter. Not sure where this stands in the panoply of ‘the Zepp’ but for someone that hasn’t really listened to them that much it feels like a great introduction. Surprised and pleased by the thoughtful, melodic moments scattered throughout the second half of the record. Making me more excited to be back.

I was gonna do the old give it a 4* because it’s not quite as banging as II and IV, but actually it’s packed with top tunes(in the unique Zep style) I can forgive the couple of weaker ones. They deserved to be relatively more chill for an album.

Really enjoyed

Spectacular as always when it comes to Led Zeppelin. That bluesy hard rock feel they got is just immaculate. For me I wouldn't say that this record is perfect but their discography is extensive with so many bangers it's hard to find fault in many of the songs on here (besides their closer). Great record and a great listen. Top 5: Since I've Been Loving You(Best), Out of The Tiles (The drums on this are so fucking fire), Immigrant Song(close second), Gallows Pole, and Tangerine No bad songs (there's an argument to be made for Hats off To (Roy) Harper but it isn't bad however it 100% felt like filler) 4.25-4.50/5

...

Not my favorite Led Zeppelin album, but very good nonetheless. 4/5 Album 48/1001

One of my favorite rock albums of all time.

Growing up I always preferred I and IV, and I think I stand by that opinion. But this is a great album, despite how weird Hats Off to (Roy) Harper is. I'm tempted to give this 5*, but I think I'm going to leave it at a high 4*.

I think people sleep on this record. Out on the tiles, celebration day and tangerine are some of my favorites. Can’t wait to listen to this again - I already know it’s a 4. Let’s give John Paul Jones his due - feels like he is the forgotten member of led zep but what a talent he is.

I am a fan and there are some great tunes on this but there's some dead air as well.

ok really this should be a 3 but the last song triggered me for some reason

"Finally, Some Good Fucking Food" Sure, I'm a drummer who was greatly influenced by Bonham, meaning I'm incredibly biased. But whatever, fuck the haters, this album is a masterpiece. Many fans were let down by the feeling that the complete album didn't match the sheer force/energy of the legendary opening track "Immigrant Song" - but I'd argue that's not what they were going for. III was LZ's attempt to push themselves as musicians and defy the press's belief that they were nothing but loud blues rockers. That resulted in the band experimenting with blues, metal, acoustic, and folk elements to create a truly unique euphony of sound. And if nothing else, the pushback the band got from this album ultimately pushed them to go balls-to-the-wall on IV, one of the greatest albums ever created. So there's that lol.

This was a new one! I know Led Zeppelin II and Led Zeppelin IV like the back of my hand, but never really listened to III. Although I know a few of the songs on here it was a great find :) Tangerine is awesome!!

Great

It isn't their best album to date, but still has some classics

Obviously I've heard of the band, but only one of the songs was familiar to me. I wouldn't listen again, but it was enjoyable.

I didn't want to like this one as much as I did. I've always been a Led Zeppelin fan, but for various reasons I've never really *liked* being a Led Zeppelin fan. Either way, listening to one of their albums again reminds me that even though there's a lot of reasons the band kinda sucks, they're still pretty damn good.

I have never been a zeppelin fan. I tried again by listening to this album. I still don't see the appeal. It is slightly better than expected but I won't waste my time listening to it again

Immigrant Song carries the weight.

Good jams on a classic album.

4 only thanks to Hallowed

My first Led Zep album so biased. Does it have the best songs? No? But it holds together brilliantly and is possibly the best produced LZ album. Range, interesting songs. Highlight being the mandolin on Gallows Pole.

There are 5/6 amazing songs on this, since I've been loving you is one of my all time favourites tracks... But there are also a bunch of stuff that also exists in a very meh kind of way. Since we're judging whole albums I have to knock it down a bit. I think my "out of 5 stars" ratings are very inconsistent

Immigrant Song is a 10/10 classic. One of their best songs. Friends 7/10 Celebration Day is a bit odd lyrically, but the music is fire 9/10 Since I've Been Loving you is one of my favorite Led Zep songs 10/10 Out On The Tiles 7/10 Gallows Pole I like the story 9/10 Tangerine is also a classic, love the vocals 9/10 That's The Way a surprisingly sad tune. Let the kids play 8/10 Bron-Y-Aur Stomp weakest song on the album so far 6/10 Hats Off To (Roy) Harper guess we're ending on a weak spot 6/10

4 stars

Awesome

A good one, but not a great one. Medium three. Faves: immigrant song, and i have always loved tangerine for some reason.

The definition of arena rock. An amazing album. Bombastic. I have never been a huge Zeppelin fan but this record may have swayed my opinion.

Immigrant song and celebration day are pretty good but it's downhill from there for me. Robert Plant's upper register is a nails-on-chalkboard sound to me. Extremely talented musicians playing music I don't enjoy. Similar to Faces in that regard?

just brilliant

In between listens I always remember liking this album more than I actually do. It's got some really good stuff but the misses are big, and Immigrant Song is quite possibly the worst thing they ever did, although I imagine The Crunge would maybe like a word about that. It's a strong enough album but when you're Led Zeppelin, that's just not good enough.

Ein paar echte klassiker, aber auch ein paar low points

Definitely a classic with the unique Led Zep sound. Many outstanding songs and but also a few mediocre ones as well. Fav Track: Since I've Been Loving You.

Full of big rock songs

Great album

great summer Roadtrip Album

Este es el álbum que toda persona que creía que un disco de Led Zeppelin eran sólo solos de guitarra interminables con una voz que casi no se escucha. O tal vez solo era yo. Como sea 8/10 damn

One of those albums that has been in my collection for more than 40 years. I've owned this on vinyl, cassette, CD, and hi-res download. It has drifted in and out of favour with me. It isn't really my favourite of the early Zep albums, I'm not sure I particularly liked it as a teenager. My musical tastes have changed a bit and I can now appreciate this more. Still, 5/5.

Decent album but got a little boring towards the end

Zeppelin absolutely rules. But I think this one rules just a bit less than IV. A couple of songs here just don't do it for me, even if the ones that work are incredible.

Banger, obvs and the first CD I ever bought, back in the mists of time. Some underrated classics on this one, like Tangerine and Since I've Been Loving You.

Everytime I have to listen to another Led Zeppelin album, I start to wonder if this project is really worth it.

Don’t think I’ve intentionally listened to Led Zeppelin before, certainly not a whole album at once. I truly enjoyed this and was surprised by the versatility, the range of instrumentals, and how, well, interesting it was the whole way through. Absolutely loved Since I’ve Been Loving You. Other standouts were Immigrant Song, Gallows Pole, and That’s the Way. Could have done without Hats Off to (Roy) Harper. Otherwise a really solid record I’ll probably come back to.

Heard it before. I have a massive nostalgia for Immigrant Song because of School of Rock. But as I get older I realize that I'd enjoy Led Zep's music more if it wasn't Robert Plant's vocals. I know he's regarded as one of the best rock singers ever but... something slightly annoying about his vocals to me 2/5

It’s blues! It’s just the blues! Led Zeppelin is a blues band! Just really loud blues! I feel like I’m going crazy!

3.5

9.6/10 ★★★★½

I don't like the way the electric and acoustic tracks are divided on the two different sides of the album, but although I am not a big fan of Plant's vocals, this is better than most Zeppelin I have heard. 4 stars

4.5/5

For a long time, it's been a toss-up between this and Led Zeppelin IV for their best album. I feel like III is sort of an underdog, as it really didn't get as much love from classic rock radio as II & IV. Other than "Immigrant Song" and "Gallow's Pole", you were unlikely to hear much from this. While those are great tunes ("Immigrant Song" is very high on my list of greatest hard rock songs ever), every song on this is incredible. "Celebration Day", "Out on the TIles", "Tangerine", and "That's the Way" are some of my other favorites here. Strong 5 stars.

Hats off, ladies and gentlemen, another genius Led Zeppelin album. With a couple of tip-toppiest all-time classic Zep tracks in Immigrant Song and almighty blues extravaganza Since I’ve Been Loving You plus a bundle of folksy fun with bouncing and bounding Bron-Y-Aur Stomp and sprightly traditional hangman tale Gallows Pole. Hats can firm stay on for last track Hats Off To Roy Harper though, that one really sucks. Even with the brown stained final hurdle, 4.5 stars rounded up to 5.

Not my favourite Led Zep album, but an influential bridge between the early albums and what was to come. A4 for the Immigrant Song alone.

Way more eclectic than I was expecting! I have never been interested in Led Zeppelin so I now know this was a somewhat divisive disappointment for fans. It will be interesting to see if I like their earlier albums!

Such a good album. I don’t even love this music, but still think it’s a great album.

weak, Immigrant song rules, nothing else stod out at all.

immigrant song is pretty classic worldwide, i think this is the most interesting album yet. the transition from friends to celebration day is amazing. the acoustic switchup is pretty noticable and I think that they pull it off well.

Immigrant Song is a raucous intro but Friends is very different - mysterious and mystical with acoustic instruments and strings. Unmatched atmosphere. Clean transition into Celebration Day and some great guitar and bass riffing. Then it's Since I've Been Loving You, with slow deep bass and emotional guitar. The vocals and drums are top notch and so is the lengthy solo. It's both delicate and very heavy. Out on the Tiles continues with some of the hardest rocking stuff yet. The intro riff is maybe the best on the record. It's an incredible first side. The other half is a bit more gentle, Gallows Pole leading out with folk guitar before the pounding drums come in. Tangerine is simply beautiful and That's the Way and Bron-Y-Aur Stomp are pure folk; the first one quiet and pretty, the second fit for a square dance session. Hats Off To (Roy) Harper is a dissonant closer with Plant's vocals run through a filter. This is a band signaling their intent. Hard to imagine changing anything.

2/1001 It's okay overall. I don't like how whiny the singer is. Immigrant song was a great start (and the only track I kind of liked), unfortunately the rest of the album isn't as good.

Interesting

Amazing. Bluesy, folksy, yet modern and timeless at the same time. Really enjoyed the start to the finish

Only got a portion of the way through this album. It reminded me of the things I love about Rainbow, but didn't quite land with me. Will return to finish it.

I'm not sure if the apathy I have towards a large chunk of Led Zeppelin's discography stems from all the '70s (and beyond) LZ clones, whom I dislike more than LZ themselves. I mean, I've always been very clear that I disliked Robert Plant as a frontman, so by extension, I'd dislike everything he spawned to a greater degree. He's easily one of the least interesting of the big early '60s and late '70s rock vocalists. I just don't like his style, his adlibs, nor the way he pieces together his melodies - they just do not work for me. And the music here, like with LZ 2, lacks a certain punch that I'm always hoping for out of these records, a punch that would be absolutely necessary to make Plant's vocals work, imo. Some interesting and genuinely solid moments still. 'Friends' went in a sort of eastern direction instrumentally, which made it stick out in the mix. And I think 'Since I've Been Loving You' is one of the band's best songs, with that soaring guitar and the drama behind the whole thing. It works really well as an LZ "long song". 'Tangerine' is nothing more than your average LZ slowballad, though I enjoyed how out of character it felt for the band at times. It almost reminded me of a slower track off of The Rolling Stones 'Sticky'. And I certainly enjoyed it more than the following slower acousitic cut, 'That's the Way' (though I did enjoy that guitar tone hanging in the background of this one). I enjoyed the blusier tracks on this album more than I usually do from Led Zepplin, especially the off-kilter closer 'Hats off to (Roy) Harper' Not bad by any means, but just another record in this band's catalogue that reaffirms my very lukewarm feelings towards them. And that's fine.

A classic. Much jazzier than I expected

O, Cepeliny, moje ulubiene! Świetna płyta. Są takie zespoły, które eksperymentują z różnymi brzmieniami, gatunkami i stylami i wychodzi im to wyśmienicie, bo po prostu są świetnym muzykami. "That's the Way", uwielbiam.

Starts strong with Immigrant Song. Feels ahead of its time. Very cool, creative rock.

Really good!

Very homosexual music, also the early stereo songs with instruments in one ear and vocals in the other are really annoying, this was quite good though.

felt good. fits summer well

The best Zeppelin if you ask me

Better than I expected but not my kind of thing

Good, not great imo. Hard to compete with Zeppelin 4 which would follow. Definitely more fleshed out than Zeppelin 1 though, which we’ve also listened to already. To this albums credit, it’s very textured, with just the right amount of unique instrumentation - if there’s anything it has over Zep 4, it’s that. Also to this albums credit, it doesn’t concern itself with trying to sound like the Beatles. We had a BeeGees album from around the same time Zep 3 came out and it was sooo similar to a late Beatles record at points. Zep 3 is its own thing, going for its own sound. “Since I Been Loving You” is my not obvious pick to listen to from this record. Nothing here is bad, nothing here amazed me though

Led Zeppelin is kind of ambient. It's just sort of always there. I like it. But it was always hard for me to be really intentional about liking it since it was just sort of always there playing on classic rock radio or at my uncle's house or something like that. I know there are people who are big fans. I had to listen to this album a couple of times because it was really hard for me to pay attention to it. That's not anything against the album. It's just how I show up to Led Zeppelin. On one of the listens the song Tangerine finally broke through. Sweet little song rhymes dream with tangerine and then… is that a steel guitar? I love the country sound that sneaks in. I don't know that I've ever heard that song before but I'm going to listen to it again! Immigrant song obviously great and I’ve always loved that’s the way. Love me some forlorn Led Zeppelin songs. One of the things I appreciate about this project is forcing an active listen of an album like this. Ok so how to rate it. I have no idea how this stacks up against other Zeppelin albums. Is this their best one? Are we going to listen to II 500 albums later? Feel like I’ve got to reserve my 5s since I don’t know what else is out there so strong 4

their pastoral folk record lol. a lot of zep hate out there. people despise them. i get why i guess. i don’t listen to them like i'm in high school anymore, but when their records come up in my routine, i always get a bump of excitement. scratches a certain itch. primal stuff. i’ve got room for a slice of overblown self indulgent cock rock. immigrant song like standing on the prow of a viking longship yadda blah yadda. when i put this record on in the house, i always wish they built to this track instead of kicking off with it. but it also kinda reads like getting the last of II out of their systems. worth listening to on headphones to really hear the bass run in the chorus. sick tremolo chords too. give me the transition from friends into celebration day. 🤌 great phaser sound bridging the two, then it snaps into focus and BOOM full tilt boogie. band of gorillas fronted by a horny chimp. i see how “since i been” can be characterized as a boring slog or a texturally complex blues meditation. i tend toward the latter and think it’s the right kind of moody. spooky mansion blues. i think at least the drums were recorded in the giant foyer of an old manor house, and it sounds that way. the organ is haunted; the creaky cricket playing the kick drum is right on time. page will never be on my mount rushmore of guitarists, but his playing is great here, particularly when he hits those arpeggiated chords just after 5:30. plant is a weird shrieking ghoul. it must have been funny to have his screechy ass wailing all the time. out on the tiles. pubfight song. great boneheaded single note riff. guitar and bass playing the same thing. rides roughshod over those big dumb bashy bonham drums. i don’t give a fuck by now. i’m in it and it kicks hard and it feels good. someone break a pint of bitter over my head. gallows pole starts as a funeral dirge and morphs into something dynamic and fun. rolling banjo. tangerine is the last zep song that prompted a 39 year old man to tell me, “i fucking hate led zeppelin. they suck so much ass.” lol ok. it’s also the song in the final scene of almost famous. your choice i guess. pedal steel. nothin wrong w bron y aur stomp. i came here to stomp. good weird blown out finish w the rework of shake em on down (for roy harper (for some reason)). the guitar playing is caustic and stuttering, and the slide sounds like a straight razor. probably influenced by nostalgia and familiarity, but i’m going 5 again. twenty years i’ve been putting this on and feeling better with every track. it ain’t for the poetry—it’s for getting me head bashed in. three records in a row that feel like old friends.

I don’t think I’ve ever actually listened to this album and it’s pretty great. I love the crunchy blown out distorted times paired with the dreamy whimsical soft moments. I’m asking myself now have I ever really let the LED out? Damn, Since I’ve been loving, you is a killer song. Gallows Pole gets me going, surprise, mandolin, and banjo demonic Bluegrass what the hell is going on? Seems to get faster and faster. Amazing song Tangerine is lovely The next couple songs are an adventure through the dark mystical forest. Deep roots, Smokey, sunlight through the branches. We know we will make it out but we aren’t in a rush. The air is thick and we are high. This is our vacation… but then the levee breaks When the levee breaks is one of my favorite Zeppelin songs. I’m a sucker for harmonica and it’s so essential in this song. What a masterpiece. Great album, already started it over.

Cam and I spoke about how fun it is to have a dedicated Led Zeppeling listen. Their music is so omnipresent, it's easy for it to settle into the background. It melts into the space its playing it. CELEBRATION DAY riff is dirty album cover has middle school binder lisa frank nrg No matter what I do I have trouble giving this record undivided attention. I can't explain it. It's great, but it doesn't grab a hold of me. solid 4.

Starts with the hard hitting "Immigrant Song" and doesn't really rise back to that level, "Since You've Been Gone" and "Gallows Pole" are signs of life on an otherwise off album for this band.

Immigrant Song is good for a star, innit?

3.5

The one where it was clear that there was going to be way more than blues rock. It's a largely acoustic affair with the mandolin alongside guitars, and with short, snappy songs and a traditional folk tune in Gallows Pole. Best known track Since I've Been Loving You sounds a bit of a throwback to the first two albums. Though a transitional album, as they'd bring all their influences and musical ideas together in one album next time out. But still a great listen.

It is interesting. I can sense why the hype. Blues tinged. Good riffs. But for some reason it has never floated my boat. Maybe the high pitched singing, the music s good though s bit overblown at times.

The weird cousin in the Zeppelin family, a few familiar family traits and a pile of weird new ones. A very cool album with lots of new ideas and fun deviations from the blues rock style that helped them become household names. The brilliance of John Paul Jones really pulls the whole album together.

This is a great record. It's a bit hard to reconcile vs. all the other great Zeppelin albums, but I think it's more creative than the previous albums, and a bit more "pure" than most of the later albums. It has several classic tracks, and the "filler" is actually quite good, unlike some of their other records.

A lot of folk and blues on this one with the exception of Immigrant Song and Since Ive Been loving you. Interesting that this was seen as a disappointment at the time. It's no IV but it's still great

7. Great album, immigrant song is such a banger. Led Zeppelin has always been a great band. Honestly I like how Led Zeppelin has a weirder kind of sound, I don't know how to describe but their sound is just weird and I like it. The songs overall are very nice, I don't listen to this album much but when I do, it seems to bring new sound to my ears every time. Favorite Song: Immigrant Song Least Favorite Song: Friends Overall Score: 8/10

I like this album and own it on vinyl, but don’t love it. For me the highlights are Immigrant Song, Tangerine, That’s the Way, and Bron-Y-Aur Stomp. The flip side to the 45 single Immigrant Song was Hey, Hey, What Can I Do…which is one of my favorites. I wonder why it wasn’t on this album? Anyway this one is about a 3.5 for me, so I will call it a 4.0.

class simple as that

This is actually not my fav of the zep albums but still enjoy it. I liked reading about the subtle turn into folk music and use of the mandolin. Seems apt for the early 70s.

Classic !!!

"Immigrant song", and you can see a possessed Jack Black at the wheel of his van...preaching rock to kids ! Hilarious ! Usually my go to Led Zeppelin album is the II. The III is less straightforward and goes into blues and folk: it's great, songs like "friends" or "Since I've been loving you" are gems. A bunch of the songs made the bulk of the mid-90's Page and Plant come back album "No quarter" which is a great listen too !

I just can't be objective as far as Led Zep is concerned. Yet I only give a 4 on this one because of the 3 or even 4 other albums that deserve a 5. The direction here is more folk. Yet I still regard "Since I been loving" you a masterpiece solo (slow) blues, and oh just to follow "Out on the tiles"! Well it' still a great album with these 4 guys always contributing equally a great deal.

As soon as the music starts on this album, it's an amazing journey offered by Led Zeppelin to our hears with different styles. Really a pleasant album…. But I’m pretty sure that’s not the best one of Led Zeppelin (only 3 stars due to that )

Avarage

When Led Zep tones down the epic stuff just a little, it’s still nothing short of phenomenal. Some songs here perfectly embodies their roots and the direction taken : a direct link in between blues and hard rock. A blues which stays heavy thanks to John Bonham - you don’t just hold back the man, you can bring out all your acoustic side, he’ll still lay down rock-solid grooves on top of it. Just 4 stars only because Led Zeppelin managed to top this on a handful of other albums.

Immigrant song is a classic and Tangerine is great. Since I’ve Been Loving You quite a track. The first half is pretty solid in all. However, I’m not a fan of the vocals. He sings great and has a great voice, but I don’t think they sound good, and that’s why I’ll probably never listen to the album in its entirety again.

Love it 5/5

gun to head i couldn’t tell you the difference between led zeppelin, acdc, aerosmith, guns n’ roses, and the rolling stones

Pre-listening thoughts: half expected to get either another Neil young album today or our first Bob Dylan album. Scared for a potential onslaught of both of them later down the line I suppose. But anyways Led Zeppelin always reminds me of this group of boys in high school who swore it was the pinnacle of music, and the guy who runs the Inn that my bakery is attached to. He shamed us for listening to “girl music” (pop from 2000s on) and insisted we put on some Zeppelin. I did not do that, and kept playing Carly Rae Jepsen shamelessly, for I am, in fact, a girl 😱😱😱. People like idolize this group but my shameful fact is I know three Led Zeppelin songs and that is it (Immigrant Song (which is on here), Fool in the Rain, and Going to California). I couldn’t even tell you what Stairway to Heaven sounds like if you had a gun to my head. Oops. Post/during listening thoughts: wow okay maybe I’m a villain because I didn’t really enjoy most of this. I think the lead singer’s voice is annoying as shit. Like almost as bad as Axl Rose for me. I like the folkier and slower stuff but most of the rockier tracks I didn’t enjoy. 4/10 DID I NEED TO HEAR THIS BEFORE I DIE: no Fav tracks: Since I’ve Been Loving You, Tangerine, That’s The Way Least fav tracks: Out on the Tiles, Gallows Pole, Hats Off to Roy Harper

3.5

Immigrant song is a banger. The album as a whole felt somewhat incoherent.

Since I've been loving you is great

It’s kinda hard to review this type of records. Oh you think Tangerine is a good song and plant is a great vocalist? What an original thought. I mean it’s a classic among the Zeppelin discography, as are all first six Zeppelin albums. These are shining pinnacles in the history of rock music. I think this album is kinda thin with “hits” outside of the immigrant song, but it has a great selection of songs that showcase all of the things Zeppelin can do - epic drums, bass that can be both driving and melodic, killer riffs, great solos and Plant’s vocals that can go from heavy metal to blues to soul and everything in between. What I also love about Zeppelin is how raw and organic the sound is. It’s not sloppy but it’s not what I would call sloppy. It jumps out and grabs you, feels like a live show. Rightfully a classic.

The generator has been cooking recently Despite previously having a bit of a go at folk, I like some of the folkier influences that Led Zeppelin played with here that are found on tracks like Friends, Tangerine and That's The Way. They utilise it well and it gives this album character and it stands out in their discography because of that There are also other styles that give the album variety. Celebration Day has a pretty wacky riff that is very memorable, sounds like something Primus might even have come up with. The guitar playing on the bluesy Since I've Been Loving You is very David Gilmour-esque, and the organs are reminiscent of Deep Purple. Immigrant Song is a bit overplayed but I still like it too Bron-Y-Aur Stomp unfortunately reminds me of that tragic stomp clap trend from 10 or so years ago. Not their fault but I can't help but hear it and that spoils the song for me. I don't think I can give this a 5 because of that Highlights: Celebration Day, Since I've Been Loving You, Friends, Out on the Tiles

First listen thru this album was enjoyable, although I preferred the first half better the than last bit. There’s a nice mix of acoustic and electric sounds. “Immigrant Song” was the highlight, but “Since I’ve Been Loving You” and “Gallows Pole” also stood out.

I can see why my dad likes this so much. I think it'd be great for a road trip but it elicited no emotion from me

Liked it more than I thought I would. Favourite track: Tangerine

Not their best, but absolutely phenomenal in every aspect otherwise!

Very unique album by a very popular and successful band. Lots of classics on this one. Any rating less than 4/5 is a sin

Loved it. First song reminded me of School of Rock

My favorite album cover as a kid

Really enjoyed the variety on this album. Album starts super strong with a great four song run, the first stumble in the track listing for me is Out On The Tiles which is fine but not up to the bands usual standards. The layered vocals on the hook/ refrain is quite weak and tinny and the ooh yeah repeat line is a bit predictable and annoying by the end of the song. Other than that I think the last two songs are the other weak points in the album, a shame to end on a low note after the blistering opening track. Album is overall pretty great and I like the variety in the songs, not as much experimentation of later albums but not as tight rock and roll as some of the other albums, leaving this one in an unusual spot. It’s still good but not outstanding, overall 3.5/5

Yes

This was an easy listen. Faves were Immigrant Song and Tangerine. Think maybe I’ve heard this album before but not sure.

I always think I like Led Zeppelin until I actually listen to them. Then I remember I don't like them, somehow forget that fact, and get stuck in a "like them/hate them loop." I get impatient with Led Zeppelin. Some of their stuff is great, it really is. The music is almost always better than the vocals. Their songs seem to go on for far too long. Full albums make me antsy. Led Zeppelin III is a great example of Led Zeppelin annoyance for me. It starts off great, but quickly overstays its welcome. Immigrant Song is great, the middle lags a bit with some bright spots, but by the time we get to Hats Off to (Roy) Harper, I am exhausted and over it.

The music is good and varied, but who cares what the songs are about?

The immigrant song gave me ptsd flashbacks.

Immigrant Song alone would net this album 4 stars, it helps the rest of the album also rocks.

This album is kind of disappointing. I really like "Immigrant Song" and I kinda like "Since I've Been Loving You", but the rest of the album is just "meh". I expected more.

I never really went through a Led Zeppelin phase like a lot of my friends did in Junior High and High School, but there is still enough connective tissue between them and a lot of grunge that I get their appeal and genuinely like quite a few of their songs.

After the shrieking of two AC/DC albums last week, I was dreading this one - but (words my stepdad would be shocked to hear) Led Zeppelin is easily a much better band. We've only had 1 other album by these guys, and while this is apparently the acoustic, chill version of the band, it still feels like 1) there's some relentless, amazing rock music (Immigrant Song, Out on the Tiles), and 2) bluesy, wailing-on-the-floor songs that aren't really my thing but are still pretty compelling (Since I've been Loving You). Yes, there were some quieter songs (I only really liked 'Tangerine') but this still felt very much like a Led Zeppelin album (distinctive vocals, relentless, compelling guitars, catchy songs.) Like Van Halen and Guns'n'Roses, I might not really come back to this in the future but I get why they and their music have the reputation they have.

Starts off with a banger! And keeps getting better from there.

Not for me. I can appreciate the artistry but I don't like it.

LED ZEPPELIN MY GOAT THEY'RE SO GREAT

Epic

Cool cover. But just not my guys. I want music that makes my feet move or makes me sit in captivated silence. This lands in that uncomfortable middle ground of standing up, arms crossed, head nodding, nothing going on below the waist. And such indecipherable lyrics. What you on about Bob?

Sublime stuff

Fine stuff from the rockers

Another toke Master stroke On a roll Succes taking toll A band at their peak Total winning streak Massive hits Song that stick

A really nice album but I'm not a huge fan of them

A lot less silly than some of their other albums. And Immigrant Song is a top 10 rock and roll song. Hard not to like. Even though it is essentially more music to play Dungeons and Dragons to.

Classic

Excellent overall

Great album, shows the evolution of the band.

An album that begins with one of the best songs Led Zeppelin did has to be great. Obviously this one is. I know there was some controversy when this came out about it being too different than the first two Zeppelin records but I don't see that as a bad thing. As great as the first two records are, this one is right up there. I think I actually like this one a bit better than their first album. Nothing else to say about it, its Zeppelin so you know it's going to be better than 90% of records on this list. That's the Way is sort of a slow spot for me, but I'm still giving this one 4.5/5

Familiar i listen to led zeppelin somwtimes

loved this. fun folksy tunes abound

Immigrant Song makes a great start to the album, but the rest of the songs are drastically different. The folk influence/acoustic focus takes away from the impact Led Zeppelin’s sound usually has, and they don’t adapt to match it very well. There are still some great sections and riffs throughout the album, but they happen in spite of the overall sound direction, not because of it.

- Once again, I find myself not being totally onboard with Zeppelin, but just as much realizing that I have to respect their sound. I find their whole vibe somewhat dire (in a good, pulse-pounding way), which is interesting given how bright some of these lyrics are. It ended up giving a lot of the album an underlying irony in my mind. - Plant's vocals are so well-suited to rock. I do not think they jive as well with the softer second half of this album, but the first half is very solid. - Thought about giving this only 3 stars, but "Immigrant Song" may be the best rock song ever written? So that alone bumps it up.

I wasn't familiar with any song on this album outside of Immigrant Song. I really enjoyed this record. The production was great and I loved the fusion of genres with the hints of like country/folk and acoustic stuff. I loved the variety.

This is a great record! I’ve honestly never really listened to this. It’s a really solid blues album. Maybe not my favorite Zeppelin album, but the bangers are bangers. I had never heard Gallows and it kind of blew my mind.

Three standout songs, Immigrant Sont, Since I've Been Loving You, and Tangerine, with not so great songs between. 3.5/5

Possibly the best Zeppelin album, and that’s saying a lot.

A real classic. Love the folk influences

Probably my least favorite of the first 4 Zeppelin albums. it’s not bad by any stretch, just pales in comparison to it’s predecessors/successors

"Since I've been loving you" itself makes this album a 5/5. So many acoustic folksy bangers on here. Not my favourite Led Zeppelin album, but still 5/5.

some great songs, some not-as-great, but all packaged in a tight 43 minute experience. Its cool to sit with these classic rock albums and listen to them front to back instead of picking out singles like I used to, anytime I hear music from this era it always transports me to my dads vinyl collection, hearing him blast songs on his old stereo system. Immigrant Song is so good, but it sets a high bar. while the rest of the album doesnt quite reach it, its pretty consistently good! Still a fantastic entry by Led Zeppelin.

Some dizzying highs (Immigrant Song, Out on the Tiles, Gallows Pole, Bron-Y-Aur Stomp) and some pretty mediocre middles (Hats off to Roy Harper, Since I’ve Been Loving You, Friends) make this album pretty split up the middle. But the good stuff bumps it up from a 3 star to a 4. Not their best album, that’ll be LZ4 but certainly not their worst!

Solid. But not their greatest!

What am I gonna say? That I don’t like Led Zeppelin III? Like an insane person? This album has more of a bluesy/bluegrass feel to it than maybe their other stuff. Lots of great guitar stuff going on. And Robert Plant is Robert Plant. New finds/Standouts: Since I’ve Been Loving You Celebration Day Tangerine (duh) I’m glad this was the first one because I really do love Zep and I’ve been meaning to listen through their full discography.

First time listening to a full Led Zeppelin album and i think it was a good introduction to their music as i don’t really listen to hard rock often, but it was eye opening to listen to emotional rock music whilst changing genres slightly throughout the album from blues rock to low key country to groovy tracks. tangerine is such an underrated song, and was unexpected from such a large hard rock presence in the industry.

really enjoyed listening to this one

A different sound from Led Zep but still badass. My least favorite of the four untitled albums but any band would be over the moon to have an album like this. You can see the building blocks of IV in this one

Banger

Good stuff

love it, barely even need to listen to this one ive heard it so many times. almost doesnt need to be on this list.

My first Led Zeppelin album. Honestly not a favorite for me personally- I could hear the influence traditional american rock had on the album, but a lot of the songs started to sound the same to me. Overall- decent but not much stood out

Masterpiece

>>> the Beatles

amazing 9 out of 10

As a fan, it’s nice to be reminded of how far they came with each new album. That being said, not my fave. Immigrant is fantastic then the rest is kind of a letdown. Since I know what came next, it’s not as disappointing. 🙂

Good album. Wouldn't be their best for me. Stand out song - Immigration song

Kende wel meer dan ik dacht Zijn wel de typische top2000 die ik dan beetje NPC vind. Staat dan wel weer in top2000 met een reden. Als paar nummers los aankomen prima, maar ga niet per se voor m'n lol een heel album luisteren

Okay, hier haben wir ein richtig cooles Rockalbum. Led Zeppelin sind einfach eine der unumstrittenen Legenden der Rockmusik und diese Position haben sie sich unter anderem mit diesem Album erarbeitet. Vielseitige Lieder, die meistens mitreißend sind. Die Energie des kultigen Openers Immigrant Song wird leider nicht mehr erreicht, daneben gibt es mit Since I've Been Loving You eine großartige Bluesrock-Ballade und das zeitlose Tangerine. Leider sind viele der anderen Lieder nicht so großartig. Favorit: Tangerine.

One of the best.

It's alright but I wasn't blown away and I probably won't return to this album again of my own volition. Nothing on here really caught my attention. Standouts Immigrant Song 3/5

I have never listened through this album completely and I've listened to a couple new-to-me Led Zeppelin songs, what a treat!

I guess I’m a Zeppelin fan. I really enjoyed this album. I see why they are in the classics hall of fame.

Not the best Zep, but still solid. I would put this as maybe my 4th or 5th favorite album, but certainly better than II. 4/5

This might be my favourite Led Zeppelin.

I like when Zeppelin goes folksy. Ar one point in college I was chatting with someone and I asked if what he was reading at the time was any good and he shrugged and went "I mean, it's Hemingway" and honestly that's how I feel about Led Zeppelin. You know what you're getting into when you start it, there aren't really any surprises, but it's solid music and not the worst way to spend 45 minutes.

AaaaaaAAAAAAAaaaahhhhhhAAAAHHH

Albumi #169, 08.03.2025 Led Zeppelinin kolmas albumi vuodelta 1970 on modernin musiikkihistorian merkkiteos.

Very good, but I don't like all of it. Too much folk influence. The singing is annoying at times. The good parts are great. Favorite song: immigrant song.

I never smashed 5 stars so fast in my life. My Led Zeppelin bias is heavy, but this is an absolute cherry on top of LZ's discography. In the hangover of the summer of love, a very sober rock album was released with combinations of old blues rock and new era folk acoustic guitars. A fusion LZ was great at, all the instrumentation on this album is virtuosic and written so well, it sounds fresh everytime. And the production value from recording in an old cottage on analog really brings this album together. Songs like Tangerine and That's the Way speak volumes to me since childhood. Forever ingrained in how I play music and listen to music.

Some songs I like on here. Enjoyed the more stripped down tunes. Needed a few more stand out songs, but overall pretty good. 3/5 Might listen again

i like it when they folk

Some of their best songs on here!

Great album, never loved Led Zepp

Good.

Songs I liked a lot: immigrant song, tangerine, that’s the way, bron-y-aur stomp. Loved the blue eyed Merle reference as a lover of Aussie shepherds

They're very good at what they do.

Fun album.

Immigrant Song Friends Celebration Day Since I've Been Loving You Gallows Pole Tangerine That's the Way Bron-Y-Aur Stomp

i had nr IV last week, and the process went the same way with nr III. didn’t particularly enjoy. on a second listen, i enjoyed it a lot. and now i feel like i never want to listen to them ever again. i’ve never come across a band before that has made me feel so indecisive haha.

Led Zeppelin is one of the very few bands that released 5-star albums in a row, they were basically untouchable from 1969 until at least 1973. Their third album may not be as appreciated as their debut or IV, but it's still on the list of their best works. I love traditional folk and this album has a lot of songs in that are folk rock-ish, but it is a stylistically really varied album. Also, Immigrant Song is one of the best opening songs ever. So yeah, it gets a 5 from me overall.

Einu sinni fannst mér Since I've been loving you besta lag í heimi. Finnst það ennþá stórgott, eins og þessi plata öll. Hún hefur elst svona miklu betur en Physical Graffiti.

The third part of their legendary self-titled run. After nonstop touring, the band escaped to the cottage at Bron-Yr-Aur in Wales. That break changed everything. Instead of another loud, heavy blues-rock record, they turned toward something more acoustic and earthy: folk rock mixed with their usual power and blues roots. The result feels calmer on the surface, but still huge and emotional underneath. A lot of these songs were written on acoustic guitars, and that’s where the magic comes from. The record feels like retreating from the noise, thinking about yourself, nature, myths, and distance from the world. Opens with “Immigrant Song,” which is an absolute banger, one of their most iconic tracks ever. Pure energy. The highlights are ridiculous. “Since I’ve Been Loving You” might be the best blues-rock song ever recorded. the slow build, the emotion, the guitar work… it’s a 7-minute monster. “Friends” brings this strange, tense atmosphere that sticks with you. “Tangerine” is beautiful, nostalgic, and quietly heartbreaking. People sometimes call this album underrated, and I kind of get it. It may not always show up in the Top 5 Zeppelin albums lists, but that’s only because their catalog is insanely strong. For me, this one is special, unique in their discography, personal, and full of character. My only real complaint is the ending. The closing part doesn’t hit as hard as the rest, it could’ve been stronger. But still for most bands, something this good would be their best record ever.

kind of underrated and overrated at the same time

Favorite Track: Immigrant Song

не зашло ничего кроме первой

Great band with another great album, hard to believe they made so many great songs. I didn't know I was such a Led Zeppelin fan.

Immigrant Song is amazing. Tangerine is great. The rest...pretty good. It even got a bit bluegrassy at one point. Zepplin kicks ass.

"Don't tell me you never got the Led out!" Zeppelin have so much talent. Immigrant song is a classic. There's a lot to love in this album, although it's not quite at their top level all the way through.

A Mount Rushmore of rock bands? Maybe

Better than I expected.

Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin III While not as impactful as Physical Graffiti or the other 3 self-titled albums, this still has more substance and value than what you would think. This still has it's own highs, while unfortunately in the end it does have some of the lowest low's I've heard from the band. Even with that being said, overall, this is pretty good! 1.- Immigrant Song = 10/10 2.- Friends = 10/10 3.- Celebration Day = 8/10 4.- Since I've Been Loving You = 10/10 5.- Out on the Tiles = 8/10 6.- Gallows Pole = 8/10 7.- Tangerine = 9/10 8.- That's the Way = 9/10 9.- Bron-Y-Aur Stomp = 6/10 10.- Hats off To (Roy) Harper = 5/10 FINAL SCORE: 8.3/10

Great

3.5 stars.

Skiftede mere over i folk/blues fremfor hard rock. De redefinerede hvad rock kunne være og banede vej for en anden lyd for bands som Neil Young og fleetwood Mac. Akustisk. Det blev skrevet og produceret på landet og føles som en fresh breath of mountain Air

Starts of with one of the best songs ever made but then quickly goes down hill. Far too much of this album strays from there strengths and down the prog rabbit hole that is just incredibly dull. Highly recommend skipping this album the other numbered albums are better in every way. 2 out of 5

Some great tracks - immigrant song and gallows but not there best

Some more of the classic hard rock Zeppelin is known for. Very good, but I don't find myself putting it on as much as IV or Physical Graffiti.

9/10. So good. Probably the first one I wanted to listen to again because I enjoyed it so much. Guitar playing is fantastic with memorable solos full of feeling, vocals are brilliant. The riffs are simple but cut deep, some really second to none hook writing, with my favourites being 'Immigrant Song', 'Tangerine' (which feels like a precursor to stairway to heaven) and 'Since I've Been Loving You' but honestly it was consistent the whole way. Had to be my first five.

as dritte Studioalbum der britischen Rockband Led Zeppelin, das 1970 veröffentlicht wurde. Das Album markiert eine gewisse stilistische Weiterentwicklung im Vergleich zu den beiden vorherigen Veröffentlichungen der Band, da es mehr akustische Elemente und folkige Einflüsse aufweist. Während die ersten beiden Alben eher von Blues und Hard Rock dominiert waren, experimentiert die Band auf Led Zeppelin III stärker mit verschiedenen Genres und Sounds. Das Album wurde in den Olympic Studios in London aufgenommen, mit weiteren Aufnahmen in Headley Grange, einem abgelegenen Landhaus in Hampshire, wo die Band für die Produktion des Albums ebenfalls eine kreative Umgebung fand. Herausragende Songs auf dem Album sind „Immigrant Song“, das mit seiner kraftvollen, nordischen Thematik und dem markanten Riff einen festen Platz in der Rockgeschichte hat, sowie das ruhigere „Tangerine“ und das akustische „Gallows Pole“, das die folkigen Elemente des Albums unterstreicht. Das Genre lässt sich als eine Mischung aus Hard Rock, Folk und Blues bezeichnen. Besonders der Einsatz von akustischen Gitarren und experimentellen Soundstrukturen zeigt den musikalischen Reifeprozess der Band. Die Mitglieder von Led Zeppelin, die allesamt britischer Herkunft sind, – Robert Plant (Gesang), Jimmy Page (Gitarre), John Paul Jones (Bass, Keyboard) und John Bonham (Schlagzeug) – leisten auf diesem Album einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Rockmusik, indem sie ihre Vielseitigkeit und Kreativität unter Beweis stellen. Insgesamt ist Led Zeppelin III ein interessantes und abwechslungsreiches Werk, das den Übergang der Band zu einer komplexeren musikalischen Ausdrucksweise zeigt, ohne ihre Wurzeln im Hard Rock zu verlieren. Für Fans der Band ist es ein wichtiger Teil ihres künstlerischen Schaffens, auch wenn es im Vergleich zu anderen Alben wie Led Zeppelin IV oder Physical Graffiti weniger kommerziellen Erfolg hatte.

A classic.

So yeah, if you're a full-on rock fan, this is the shit. It's what led the way for many that followed. But. It's not that markedly different from their debut, which is also on this list and it does feel like they're ovrrrepresented a bit. But then... I'd rather have another LedZep album than yet another album from Simon and/or Garfunkel.

Один из любимых альбомов LZ и, наверное вообще.

Music that my mom likes
