Loved this album. Bring out the blues and folk sound.
Classic
Rating: 8/10 Best songs: Black dog, Stairway to heaven
Pretty good despite stairway ;)
queria algo mais calmo, não recebi kkkkk mas o disco é bom sim :)
Some great tracks on this one. Apparently Zeps best but I don't think I can make that decision.
Absolute classic.
Even though I'm not the biggest Led Zeppelin fan, I have to admit this is an iconic album that deserves respect. And it's another great example which supports my theory that bands often produce their best work when they go off into the country and record in the comfort of relative isolation; encouraging jamming and exploration. Produced really well with some interesting sonic touches throughout, but nothing so overbearing that it's distracting from the songs themselves. I don't know if you'll ever hear a more badass drum sound than on "When the Levee Breaks." This album is a near perfect balance of their influences, from blues, to folk, to Tolkein. Yeah, you know they were fucking nerds.
Some classics, whole album was nicely done with some folksy touches
Discazo.
Sounds like Greta Van Fleet... Great album! First one I've truly enjoyed since my first generated album.
Second favorite Zeppelin album. Love Black Dog, Rock and Roll, Stairway to Heaven, and When the Levee Breaks
A classic. Going to California is probably my favourite Led Zep track of everything they've ever done/did.
A great album, and a classic for a reason. However, didn't love every track so I'm taking off a star for the fact it had a few skips for me. Fave track is Stairway to Heaven, because duh. Brings back fond and not so fond memories of high school marching band when we did a whole show with a Led Zeppelin theme.
It's an odd one. I like it but I'm not sure that I feel that it's special.
good stuff here and there
Rock album that actually feels like it belongs on this list 4.4
After the blues rock of the first album, the concentration on rock of the second and the supposed folky feel, of the third, what were Led Zeppelin going to come up with for their fourth album in just over two years? A bit of everything, that’s what.
From Page's unimpeachable riffs, through Jones musical invention and Plant's clarity of vocal to that titanic John Bonham drum sound, IV still emits a freshness that belies its age. This is their best album.
I’m very familiar with most of the songs on this album. I’ve even listened to this album a few times prior. Growing up with classic rock stations also hammered some of these songs into my head, for better or worse. I’m not in love with this album. I appreciate it for what it is, and it’s just overplayed. Going to California is my standout track. I understand the praise for Stairway to Heaven, and it just doesn’t do it for me. I’m giving a 3, it’d be a strong 3.7-3.9 if this rating system were more granular.
Competent performances. Ok but derivative songs. Dated production. Hum drum. ultimately it’s another run of the mill 70’s rock album that only made the list because in 2000 the rock cannon was defined by Rolling Stone writers and other American boomers. Let’s hope the next edition prunes these behemoths.
It’s alright stairway to heaven is a highlight
Very good
Mooi man. Stairway, When the levee breaks, Misty Mountain Top
Hard rock and blues rock built from thunderous guitars, driving rhythms, folk-inspired acoustics, and powerful vocals feels like exploring an old castle where every room is impressive, yet only a few are memorable enough to make you linger. The album balances brute force with quieter, more atmospheric moments, making it consistently interesting, though for me only intermittently captivating.
Not exactly my cup of tea, a bit too monotone. But I definitely understand why it's on the list.
Shrugs. It's fine.
Pretty iconic, pretty good. Still a lot of yelling sometimes which grates on me a bit but most of the album is good 3.5/4
I've just never been a huge Zeppelin fan. There are a couple good songs in here (and Stairway is a classic) but not really my thing.
First thoughts are how 'great balls of fire' this is, I guess just very Elvis sounding. I like ‘rock and roll’ a lot ‘Battle of evermore’ is very fleetwood mac The guitar in ‘stairway to heaven’ is epic ‘misty mountain hop’ is quite creepy Overall kinda chill but cool vibes
Canciones favoritas: *Stairway to Heaven (DIOS, QUE CANCIÓN!!!!!! Me encantan todas las “etapas” que tiene, va construyéndose cada vez mas épica) Adoro la portada del album. Solo me gusto stairway to heaven, pero si reconozco que es un álbum muy chevere.
A classic.
ive seen this album everywhere, however I cannot say I understand the hype, I get its zeppelin and you absolutely cant go wrong with it. Hands down its a no skip album, however its like not as unique as I want it to be and the melody's aren't catchy enough. Idk that's just me tho!
A little generic at times but very good outros and softer pieces
Led bebblibnn
Fav Songs The Battle of Evermore - cacophonous in a way I kinda enjoy Strairway to Heaven - a classic Going to California - similar to Stairway to Heaven Overall average, it was fine.
Was decent. Don't think anything really stood out but was still a good listen
Zeppelin was never my thing. And the more of their albums I get on this list really makes me question the state of music when they were making these albums. They are very consistent but they all can’t be considered the best of all time can they. None of their albums stands above the others to me. It’s fine music but nothing more. And why is stairway so amazing to so many people?
Led Zeppelin is without a doubt one of the greatest rock bands to ever exist - they've been in my personal top 5 favorite band lists since I was probably 12 years old. This, however, is Zeppelin at their worst. The album starts with two of the worst songs in their catalog and is followed by an LOTR folk song pastiche (all things considered, still a pretty good song). Stairway to Heaven is fine, but at this point has become almost a parody of an "epic" song. Misty Mountain Hop and Four Sticks are amazing, but Robert Plant offers some of his shrillest vocals, so points off there. Going to California is a return to form, featuring one of his best vocal performances, and When the Levee Breaks is all things cool about Led Zeppelin.
I just don't get on with Plant's voice/noises, however this is my favourite studio album of theirs, but it won't trouble my shelves because the Greatest Hits compilation that I do have, perfectly serves my Zeppelin needs. Heard before ✅️ Listened this time ✅️ Revisit 🫳 ★★★☆☆(6/10) Total reviewed : 351 Already owned : 78 Purchased : 16 To buy : 3 Nope : 254
I understand the hype. I would play it as background noise tho
Would I listen again: yes Enjoyed stairway (as many do) and got along with the style and musical choices for the most part.
Sinceramente empezó muy bueno, las primeras canciones eran muy estilo rock, guitarras, cantos y mas, pero cuando fue transcurriendo el album, sentí que me aburría, o que no me generaba algo muy grande como otros albumes. El album tiene buena instrumental si, eso no se niega, pero no es un album que compraría en vinilo por ejemplo, o un album que escucharia porque quiero. A diferencia de los anteriores albumes que evalúe, este no creo que esté cerca del 4, pero no es tan malo como para dejarlo debajo del 3. Además, siento que el hecho de colocar canciones al inicio de un estilo distinto a las que vienen, genera la idea que todo lo que viene es asi, pero no.
It’s not in my record collection, but I pretty much know the whole album from the radio.
I remember in high school believing this was the greatest album ever made, as an adult I hear a solid album with plagiarized music and a lot of goofy lyrics. Even the best songs are just plagiarizing Tolkien
Decent album overall.
Rating: 3/5 Playlist track: Going to California Date listened: 3/06/26 Listen when: Annoyed
Maybe not too many standout tunes outside of Stairway to Heaven but that’s an all timer and just a really cool sound to the whole album.
A fantastic cover. This is silly, heightened, fun. They are shredding like their lives depend on it. Lots of this is so famous that I had no idea I knew it already. Aw, they’re talking about Ring Wraiths. DWEEBS! It’s not really my thing but compared to other albums I’ve heard from this time in this sort of genre the lyrics are refreshingly interesting. At this stage, I appreciate competence.
What a classic this is. Just before my time, so actually already passé in my youth.
3.8
Best song: #1 Black Dog
I don’t normally listen to this style of rock, so it was difficult getting into. But I’m doing this challenge to expand my music taste, so I can’t really complain. My favorite tracks were Going to California and Misty Mountain Hop.
Buen disco, tiene tracks memorables que para nada son sobrevalorados, sinceramente no soy fan de sus tracks mas alternativos.
It’s got some good songs on it, I think Stairway to Heaven is one of the all time most overrated songs of all time though
Very good
Favourite Songs: When The Levee Breaks
One thing before I start complaining: the album is good because all the individual members are very talented and know how to play their instruments. However, that doesn't necessarily have to add up to a record I love. I have a few problems with this one. First of all, I think these guys are at their best when they make this raw, energetic, a bit rough around the edges hard rock. By comparison, this album is more cleanly produced which I can see appealing to some, but not as much to me personally. There is flashes of that energy here, like in the insane circling rhythms of Black Dog, but generally I find most of this album less interesting than some of their earlier stuff. Then there are the vocals, which are unfortunately rough at times. Robert Plant has never been my favorite singer and it's especially apparent on songs like Rock and Roll or Four Sticks that his abilities are a bit limited. Finally, one thing that bothers me about all LedZep albums really: the lyrics. While usually I don't listen to them much, I just get triggered when I hear people say shit like: oh, lyrics used to be so much better, nowadays songs are just about nothing. If someone ever says that to me I will throw them a copy of this album in the face. Let's face it, most of the lyrics are complete bullshit and describe some weird sex fantasies and metaphors. The funny thing is, they made one song that actually has a meaningful message and guess what? It became their biggest, most recognizable anthem. While I do have a lot of complaints about this album, I have to say that When The Levee Breaks is an incredible song, that drum beat is just so good and feels very ahead of its time. Overall tho I find the album really overrated and it wouldn't even make it into my top 3 of their records. I would rate it a 7/10, but with the amount of ranting I just did it has to get 3 stars.
it was good
This is pretty good but I felt like I had had enough by the end of side one, which was Stairway To Heaven, which I have never cared for. The Battle Of Evermore was a new discovery for me, and I enjoyed it, especially Sandy Denny's vocals. All the rest comes across as a bit goofy and pretentious, especially crediting themselves with symbols instead of names. (Which two of them just picked out of a book, truly phoning it in. It really makes me think it was Jimmy Page's thing and the others couldn't be bothered to argue him out of it. I know that Spinal Tap is my go-to reference in all things rock and roll, but honestly these symbols and the band's presumed disinterest just remind me of the aborted zodiac masks concept.)
Prooooobably the best led zep, but as covered before, not a huge fan Good, decent, short enough. Fine
very exciting, love the guitar and the lyrics, just not my style of music
Im sadly not big on Led Zepplin, but man there's some all-time bangers on there
1- 8 2- 8.30 (me hizo acordar a rock and roll y nutbush city) 3- 5 4- 9 5- 8 6- 6.30 7- 5 8- 6.30
It was alright, very overrated, no bad songs, but only a few that stood out
3.5
decent blues rock but i wasn’t particularly moved..
It's Led Zeppelin, Im not crazy for this album but I think it's probably more iconic among instrument lovers. Stairway to Heaven of course was familiar.
Stairway and Black Dog are classics! Going to California also good to hear. However, some of the other songs are too reminiscent of AC/DR'S shrieking and turn me off
it`s ok.
I have this on record🤤
Solid album, loved Black Dog and Levee Break, tbh i didn’t know Les Zeppelin was from the 70’s.
I think I need to listen to it again to truly get it. I really liked Going to California
Probably the most enjoyable LZ album
Overrated
It’s a good rock album but I feel like it’s not like ooh this is the best thing I’ve ever heard. I also made a 10 minute drive and parked within the time it takes to play stairway to heaven
Sorry i dont get it i dont get the hype at all
This album is pretty good. I’d say it was better than Led Zeppelin 2, there is much more variety in the album than straight rock and roll. Overall I’d give it a 3.5, with Led Zeppelin 2 getting a 3.
Boomer rock is not my thing, but this rocked thoroughly. Can't beat the classics, I guess.
Stairway to Heaven or smth
like stiarway to heaven, not so much the rest. appreciate the mastery of it
Stairway to Heaven is Stairway to Heaven, and When the Levee Breaks is nice, but everything else on this album is honestly subpar. No way it’s “the best Led Zeppelin album”, both I and II are better as albums than this one.
Commercial but good.
Even with Stairway to Heaven, not much that drew me to this album. Maybe I have heard it too much? Musically interesting but no "wow" factor.
I’m completely blind to Led Zeppelin and this was a great introduction to them. 7/10
I can't vibe with much of Led Zeppelin's stuff, so this one wasn't particularly great, only tracks that I am fan from this album is "Rock and Roll" and "Stairway to Heaven" (especially the folk intro.) This one has less of Robert Plants agonising wailing "BABY!" ("Black Dog keeps the tradition from completely dying) that is overwhelming present on the first two albums. The song-writing is improved drastically from the first two with writing about sex, sex and sex to the song-writing of IV which has mystical, tolkien-esque, cryptic lyrics. I mean IV's lyrics are still cheesy but way less than the of the first two. Did I mention that I despise the Led Zeppelin I and II yet? Yeah those albums can go shove it. Highlight Song/s: "Rock and Roll" and "Stairway to Heaven"
Very solid
No doubt Led Zeppelin are legends, and IV stands as the pinnacle of their achievements. Its my dislike of hard rock which stops me fully connecting with them but what makes IV interesting for me is the English Folk and psychedelic elements which layer their sound in a satisfying way.
high3
I've listened to these songs so many times, I could almost review this from memory, but not quite. Impactful enough that I’ll comment song by song. (Done partly to help me reach/explain a rating.) Black Dog: offensive lyrics right up front. “Ah-ah child, way you shake that thing, gonna make you burn, gonna make you sting”. WTAF? Is he addressing a teenager at stage door, or addressing a grown woman as ‘child’? His best come-on pitch is not-so-veiled sadism? Mega-eurrk factor way outweighs any interest value in eg guitar riffs. Rock and Roll: at least gets some instruments playing before stupid lyrics start, not so flat-out offensive but still stupid - I’m lonely lonely lonely, my wife doesn’t understand me, how about a root. The Battle of Evermore: still musically interesting. Lyrics are not great literature, it’s pretty explicit Tolkien-homage (I just realised for 1st time that in amongst the wailing they directly refer to ring-wraiths), but who am I to judge. Stairway to Heaven: yes, it’s epic. Great use of recorders. Guitar lines and solo that ‘anyone’ can now play in their lounge-room, but he/they did it first. I’ll overlook the cod-mystic lyrics and sappy singing. It is truly a classic, also one we can joke about, so be it. (Mind you, actually listening to it, it is dragging quite a bit by the time the fanfare finally announces the wee solo …) Misty Mountain Hop: bangs. I always thought of this as being about a protest of some sort? But maybe that was wishful thinking, maybe it was just a Haight-Ashbury smoke-in? Four Sticks: has less plays than the other tracks on Spotify, but for me this was always a stand-out (musically). But, I never read the lyrics before. If it’s just druggy 70s guy saying “babe I’ve got to split because I can’t handle responsibilities” then colour me sad but not surprised. But I still like the multi-guitars from around 3 minute mark :-) Going to California: “Spent my days with a woman unkind”. Diddums, widdums. "Someone told me there's a girl out there with love in her eyes and flowers in her hair": girls in the UK not submissive enough? "Tryin' to find a woman who's never, never, never been born": look out ladies, this is one picky wanker. When the Levee Breaks: actually a good song. Probably helps that they didn't write the riff or the lyrics. Overall, it's Mix of Good and Bad, 5/10. And that's being generous!
it's good music but. it sounds like it would be the main use of budget in the background of a shitty kid's animated movie
Not bad, some classic songs. I'm not a huge fan of Robert Plant's voice. Heard some songs that I hadn't before though. Felt like I was listening to rock radio. 3/5
Increible aunque para mi gusto hay canciones que no son tan metal mas a lo country
Great tracks, of couse, but the album isn't very memorable for me, even after two listens. 3.5/5
Again, we all know Led Zeppelin, but I had never listed to a full album. It was good, not elated by it nor wanting to listen to their back catalogue.
Stairway to Heaven is hard carrying, but this band, this album, is a staple for a reason. Yes, rock is predominantly hot ass, but even if my interest waned there and again during this listen, it's far and away some of the best I've heard on this list. Kudos for being even a little bit interesting!
as primeiras músicas eu achei um pouco enjoativas, mas, a partir da terceira música, eu comecei a gostar. gosto de músicas longas, porém, fica meio difícil de eu ouvir no dia a dia.
Classic - not all my style but appreciate the legendary group
Well, again Led Zeppelin. I understand their significance, but, as Stairway to Heaven stays my favourite song of theirs, I don't think I can be considered a true fan.
I'm probably one of the few people worldwide, that find led zeppelin kind of overrated. Same's for this album. Of course we have all time classics like Stairway To Heaven, but most of the other songs sound kinda generic. Maybe it's due to me lack of appreciation for Led Zeppelin, but I couldn't really enjoy listening to this album.
Battle of Evermore - makes you feel like you're in Ella Enchanted waiting in the forest for the next mythical creature to come in and transport you to the next scene. Rock n Roll was far more interesting, although battle of evermore has more enchanted imagery and powerful movement in the language used. Hello Stairway to Heaven - Classic. When the Levee Breaks is your favorite.
It’s good just not great. I know most of these songs are probably classics but it didn’t click. Led Zeppelin is a pretty good artist too so I would have thought I would liked this more. Once again not the best not the worst.
Black Dog - 3/10 Rock and Roll - 7/10 The Battle of Evermore - 6/10 Stairway to Heaven - 6/10 MMT - 8/10 FS - 5/10 C - 9/10 W - 9/10
Zeppelin is obviously incredible. It may be my favorite rock band, but IV may only be my 4th favorite album from them.
More blues than I thought
agregue black dog a mi playlist. OTRA VEZ no es mi estilo de música pero entiendo perfectamente a donde iba el artista con este álbum. logra el equilibrio perfecto entre lo pesado, lo místico y lo acústico. Un álbum muy adelantado a su época
со всем уважением: не моя музыка, не мой вокалист (но он мастерски изображает голосом гитару - вот её-то я и не люблю). ещё не покидало ощущение что у них балалайка в ансамбле) ну и лестница (теперь возможно запомню её) слишком ммм ганз н роузез, не могу сформулировать, минор и драма
Chalk it up to overfamiliarity or what have you, but these days I tend to stay away from my copy of LZIV. While I rank “The Battle of Evermore” and “Going to California” among the best Zeppelin tracks, I long ago decided I never needed to hear the likes of “Rock and Roll” or “Stairway to Heaven” again (based on this listen, “Misty Mountain Hop” might be joining that list). This album might be the one that best encapsulates what Led Zeppelin was about and solidified their place in the rock firmament, but I think they put out more interesting albums more deserving of space on this crowded list.
Sure.
It's good, but putting the louder songs at the end was a bad move cuz I had gotten used to the "slower" songs and the louder stuff just gave me a headache
Older America not my kind of style but there were 2 songs that are timeless
It might be a classic but not my taste of music.
This is the second Led Zeppelin album I've gotten this week (the debut being the first one I've ever listened to). This one has a more classic rock/experimental/groovy feel. I particularly enjoyed "When the Levee Breaks". Though the music is good in this album, Zeppelin's first album comes across as more powerful and significant to me.
Weirdly, at least to the best of my knowledge, the first time I have ever listened to a Led Zeppelin album in full. Fairly familiar with almost every single song on here, so it's not like there were any surprises for me, but anyway my thoughts on this as a cohesive album... As far as "classic rock" goes, pretty much as good as it gets. I get everything on here and click with it immediately, it's immensely influential to so much of the music I listen to on a daily basis, and contains some genuinely great performances from every member. That being said, I can't really ever see myself listening to this as an album listening experience again. Makes it very hard to rate. Cause it's "good", I just don't really like it that much! I don't know what to say. It is what it is. Whatever. Also stairway to heaven is probably the single most overplayed and overrated rock song of all time alongside free bird (which I actually like a lot for the record lol). Would gladly never listen to stairway to heaven again.
Не так плохо как предыдущий альбом. Есть что-то интересненькое и мне даже понравилось парочка песен. Однако тоже не совсем мой жанр. Просто неплохо
significantly stronger instrumentation than the previous album i heard of theirs. i still don't think i love it but there's much more to appreciate here. most of my attention is towards the drumming of john bonham as i really like what he's doing here. the guitars are good and flashy, but i don't think they'd work without how punchy the drums are. on the other hand, i still really do not like robert plant's vocals. i find him to be deeply offputting. the opener tracks and the closer "when the levee breaks" are probably the highlights. bit of a lull in the middle.
база, но опять таки бенгеров не так уж и много
Best led zeppelin album I heard so far! It’s alright, some of the songs even great but it’s a lot too
Okay
Led Zeppelin no es mucho mi tipo de musica pero me gusto going to California
Not a big fan of led zeppelin but i still appreciate this. Ig fav is “Stairway to heaven”
This album was ok. I’m not really ever a fan of classic rock but it was pretty good for what it is. I would give it a solid 5/10. It just was. Best song imo was “Going to California.”
I spent this album feeling sick to my stomach, on the verge of a nervous breakdown over the state of the country. This might be the quickest the lyrics to an album have ever made me viscerally cringe; hearing Robert Plant sing about making a child burn and sting for the way they "shake that thing" made me physically recoil from my car speaker. I also kept wanting to hear one of the riffs in Black Dog as the build-up intro The End by The Beatles; altogether a very weird experience with that song. Excepting that intro, however, this album has a generally pretty good groove to it, though I don't find it as compelling as Led Zeppelin III. That album just seemed more varied and adventurous to me, whereas this one just doesn't excite me all that much. The notable exception is Going to California, which is an incredible song and stands head-and-shoulders above the rest of this album; I also find When the Levee Breaks to be a very groovy and worthwhile cover, which is refreshing to hear after my experience with The Rolling Stones' self-titled debut a few days ago. The familiar hits like Rock and Roll and Stairway to Heaven are obviously quite good, and I completely understand their acclaim, even if the entire experience doesn't come together as more than the sum of it's parts for me. Highlights: Rock and Roll, Stairway to Heaven, Going to California, When the Levee Breaks
It's okay, very good music and execution but gets a bit repetitive.
Molto bello ed è stato un grande amore, ma non risuona più come una volta, e al momento non voglio averlo tra gli album preferiti
Good rock
Well this is a big one. Certainly an album to listen to before you die, but did I need to listen to it again before I die. I'm not so sure. Some music gets more personal and powerful the more you listen to it. This is not in that category for me. Admittedly I'm not particularly interested in 70's classic rock, but I've heard all of these songs so many times that they bore me. This is a tough one to rate. Yes, it's technically excellent, yes it's a big freakin deal, but I don't like it that much. Sounds like 3 stars and get out of here without upsetting anyone too much. I do kind of like "When the Levee Breaks", killer bass line.
not bad I would probably start to like it more after a few more listens
My least favorite Zep album.
I don’t know if it’s nostalgia listening to this growing up because I don’t think I’d like it now but I liked listening to this.
Didn’t like the vocals and constant contrast between high and low.
Not gonna lie, this one took me back. This was a record from my childhood that was ubiquitous as a teen. It was played everywhere by everyone. I can actually recall hearing it being played as dance music by several strippers in a bar in Northern Canada as a teen. Stairway To Heaven indeed as a teenager. Probably appropriate as the song is about a woman who takes everything but gives nothing back. I’m sure there is a life lesson there. Don’t get me wrong, Aerosmith was popular as well. Back in the Saddle, Dream On. Strippers had a pretty good musical sense back in the day. As for this record, Black Dog and Rock and Roll are the true standout tracks in my mind. As a Led Zeppelin album it really is a mash up of the heavy rock of II and the folk rock of III. To say that it has been mythologized as the foundational recording of heavy metal for me was a stretch. It really is an uneven record and almost experimental. There is a blues track (When The Levee Breaks), a female vocal by Sandy Denny on The Battle of Evermore which is the only female vocal in Zep’s catalog. And to be clear, any track that has Mandolin on it is a folk song. Same goes with the ballad Going to California. Heavy Rock it is not. So, why the hype? As a kid, it really was Stairway To Heaven that was the attraction with its 3 levels of instrumentation moving from acoustic to electric and Plant’s superb vocals. That track encompasses in a single song every other song on the record. It helps that it is all anchored by Bonham’s drumming allowing the others to indulge in their whims. At least that is how I saw it. In my town, no one got to side 2 of the record. No one flipped it. Ever. I was in college when someone I was dating tried to get me to play side 2. I told her we just don’t do that. Jimmy Page was a Satan worshiper and that was his way of tempting everyone to join Satan. Or perhaps that’s what I told to Jehovah witnesses who were trying to convert me to follow Jesus. It was a long time ago. Anyway, I have since listened to side 2. None of it grabs ya like side 1. Everyone should just be honest and admit that while the musicianship is outstanding, no one ever paid good money to hear any of the songs on side 2 live and more importantly, not a single fucking stripper ever took he clothes off to any of the songs on side 2. It’s a good record, but if half the record is not stripper worthy, then it shouldn’t be on this list.
This album was already 8 years old when I first heard at the age of 13 I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I don’t really “get” Zeppelin. Even though this is perhaps one of their better efforts it still just doesn’t do it for me!
Not for me in a good way
Yeah boiiii Black dog, great opening track 3/5 for me
No stairway, DENIED!
classic, sold album
Another Zepp album... The Battle of Evermore has that Stairway feel I prefer to their 'harder' stuff. Oh, Stairway is actually here. Going To California has a nice sound, reminiscent of much later soft folk indie. Best track (other than Stairway) - The Battle of Evermore, Going To California 3 stars
started off really strong, LOVED the guitar on the first 3 tracks but kinda lost me towards the end
This album is home to some classics from the cracking Black Dog opening track with a killer riff to the beautiful Stairway to Heaven. However, I felt a little let down by most of the other tracks since I hold these songs to such a high standard.
cute just not songs i would add to my playlists
Album’s best : Starways to heaven
Rock uit de tijd van mijn ouders.. niet slecht maar ook niet echt mijn smaak
Tenia ya guardadas 3, Going to California y When the Levee Breaks me las quedo. Muy cortito y vibes de ir por la montaña rápido perro tranki con el coche
Love the Led Zeppelin sound, I was vibing throughout the whole album. Stairway to Heaven is a phenomenal song. Other than that one, no song sounded too unique; nothing really awed me or made me stop in my tracks. Nevertheless, a good sounding album, and that’s all that really matters to me with music.
I wasn’t a huge fan of this album, it’s a good album just not really my taste. However I did find a few songs I liked such as going to California and when the levee breaks.
This is rock and roll. Really iconic songs, Stairway to Heaven and Black Dog. This would be good to run to.
I get why this is such a beloved album, the majority of it is not my favourite though.
If I heard this in 1971 my brain probably melted by how innovative it sounds.
It was good. Already knew some of the songs.
Its alright, 3 clears. "When the Levee Breaks" might be the greatest song ever though.
It was an alright listen. I love rock and especially metal but I've never liked Led Zeppelin. It's so boring. Black Dog and Stairway to Heaven are classics. Rock and Roll is just an alright fast rock song. When the Levee Breaks is a interesting tune that I enjoyed a bit but everything else on here is just boring especially The Battle of Evermore. It may grow on me in the future but as it stands now this albums is just alright.
Annyira nem tetszett ez az album. Volt rajta egy-két szám ami bejött, de a többit annyira nem szerettem.
It's okay. Don't get the hype
I rly like progression in stairway to heaven. The two opening tracks were quite redundant, and that’s a common thread I’m seeing.
Pretty classic album
Another Led Zep only 7 albums later… Too many ordinary and forgettable tunes. Gulf between top and ordinary. 1. Rock And Roll 2. Stairway To Heaven 3. When The Levee Breaks
Klassikoita klassikoiden perään. Paljon itäinen edes tiennyt kuuntelevani Led Zeppeliniä. Stairway to Heaven muunmuassa.
Lowkey sounded like the Beatles to me as someone who doesn’t listen to either.
My dislike of Classic Rock has less to do with the music and more to do with the old dudes who say it's the only music worth listening to. Some of these songs have become annoying due to repetition. Some I still enjoyed, but I have no desire to listen again soon. Favorite song: Stairway to Heaven 3*
Liked Going to California
premda je načelno dobar (i ima fora naslovnicu!), nije me se baš nešto posebno dojmio ovaj cepelinov album. malo previkalački, isuviše kreštav za mene... al pjesma stervej to heven jako jako dobra (jebiga, popularno mišljenje s dobrano valjanim razlogom)
Nice and average. Fresh and soulful, but nothing out of box, lil generic
Good classics, but I didn't realize how impatient I was listening to these 7-8 minute long songs.
So Led Zeppelin-y
This felt much more like what I know of Led Zeppelin than LZII. I don't like it quite as much as II, but Rock n Roll is a classic (was familiar with John Lennon's cover lol)
Besser als 2, nicht so gut wie 1 und 3
Bonus point for getting Sandy Denny, I guess? This one's never wowed me like it has everyone else, though I'm more amenable to the pretty moments than I used to be. I was even enjoying the intro to Stairway this time! But this one's still just an album of moments for me, rather than the songs as a whole ever doing much.
I'm a self professed Stairway to Heaven hater, but man, in the middle of that album, it really does add a lot. That transition from "The Battle of Evermore" to "Stairway to Heaven" is beautiful. 3/5
Started off ok, Black Dog was fine. Picked up with Rock And Roll, that was pretty fun. The Battle Of Evermore had a nice story in it, along with some great guitar. And then there's Stairway To Heaven. Classic track, totally incredible. Great progression throughout the song, going between slower and faster tempos. The rest of the album went along smoothly. Misty Mountain Hop was some solid rock, and Going To California was a nice slower jam. Had fun listening to this, especially the guitar work, some really fun stuff here. Best song: Stairway To Heaven
Så jävla svårt. Man borde väl inte ge ett mellanmjölksbetyg till det här? Ändå är jag där i mitten och harvar. …Och att Offside avhandlade deras Live Aid-haveri just idag. Det kan inte vara en slump 😵
Some killer tracks, a lot of filler. It starts incredibly strongly but is dragged down with the folly elements and feels a mess. The second half for the album is weak, in my opinion, songs 5, 6, and 7 just dull.
Jugend
When the Levee Breaks...so epic. This is not my favorite Led Zeppelin album but it's definitely the one that makes me appreciate their blues roots the most. Stairway to Heaven, classic, but actually feels a little out of place on this one imo.
Going to California a staple from childhood I didn't realise attributable to Led Zeppelin. Favourite track probably When the Levee Breaks. After only a few listens I gather it is an album that would get richer the more times it is played. Overall impression - cool.
I didn’t listen!
later
This is the fifth album of Led Zeppelin that I've listed to via this site, and it's comfortably the weakest of the lot so far. The other four have received 4 or 5 stars, but this is not at that level. Stairway To Heaven is obviously a classic track, but even that couldn't make up for the rest of the album. It wasn't bad, as in unlistenable, but it never grabbed my attention.
It's fine I guess. Stairway to Heaven is cool and undoubtedly one of the most iconic guitar solos ever, but overall Led Zep gets a bit samey. Opening with an 8 minute track that doesn't really go anywhere is certainly a bold choice
Hate the vocals but the riffs and the drums are still good
Who knew Led Zep are really just a folk group? With a guitar! Apart from the amazing Rock m Roll, this is very well sculpted overblown claptrap. Stairway To heaven chief among them. The great relief being that I won't have to listen to it again (it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be).
I got wordle in 2 guesses. I used clown as my first word and blunt for my second guess. 3*
It’s of course very good. I don’t love Zeppelin. I just know it’s important.
hahaha avisa bbs
I ended up enjoying this much more than I thought I would. Listened to it twice.
7/10
Led Zeppelin is a band to outgrow. They have amazing riffs, and "catchy" songs which is admittedly quite an achievement for a hard rock/metal band. Meanwhile, the lyrics stimulate the teenage brain. But as Hayley Williams (Paramore) sang: "Some of us have to grow up sometimes If so, if I have to, I'm gonna leave you behind" And that's what I did when I came of age.
Jimmy Page's pet project turned super group crank out more than serviceable rock standards on their fourth album, but I don't believe they age well. It isn't that their music doesn't sound great and relevant, there just isn't much to the band beyond the sensational introductory listens. For example, Misty Mountain Hop (my favorite track) is a tight jam of a song about protests. Not only was Led Zeppelin not known for their protest posture, but the song suggests retreating to the Misty Mountains which doesn't make sense in reality or in Tolkien. If they had a great writer in the band, this album would be even more popular... and rated higher for me.
A great album but it didn't leave much of an impact on me. I would never go out of my way to listen to any of these songs, but I also wouldn't object if I encountered any of them in the wild. 3.5
I've never listened to this album, but I've heard it. So many of these songs are part of rock's DNA that they're almost impossible to have missed. I spent my adolescence and early adulthood deeply hostile to Led Zeppelin as the embodiment of clichéd cock-rock. I'm mostly indifferent toward them these days, but I liked this more than I expected. It's not something I'll likely revisit, though, and I never need to hear "Stairway to Heaven" again.
Blah
Pretty enjoyable, but not super memorable outside the hits.
This feels more like what I was expecting from this list. A classic album that I’ve never listened to. I felt cooler the whole time this was on.
I enjoyed this album, but there’s reason I only know the famous songs. It was a good album, almost certainly an important album to have listened to…. It it was, at the end of the day, *just* a good album. Although, I didn’t realise that this was where the entrance music for Matt Lucas’ George Dawes on Shooting Stars came from… but I’m not sure that should be my key takeaway. 😂
Gonna be so for real I don’t get all the hype for Stairway to Heaven. it was good I guess but *that* good? Idk maybe I’m just not seeing something it seems like everyone else does. Best song: When the Levee Breaks Notable(s): Misty Mountain Hop
Has some bangers
It was pretty good.
V/rv
I like all the less popular songs on this but I’m more of a Stones fan
fhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh yeah sure
By the time IV (also known as the untitled fourth album) dropped, Led Zeppelin were already rock gods walking among mortals—but here, they sounded just a little more down to earth. Less bombastic than II, less murky than III, and more melodic than both, this is Zeppelin at their most accessible, if not their most inventive. Robert Plant reins in some of the banshee shrieking, though the three least effective tracks feature his most unfiltered vocal wails—funny how that works. Still, the highlights are undeniable: "Rock and Roll" charges forward on the back of John Bonham’s thunderous groove; "The Battle of Evermore" adds mystical mandolin shimmer courtesy of Jimmy Page and a guest vocal from Sandy Denny that elevates the whole affair; and of course, there’s that song—"Stairway to Heaven"—which builds from delicate folk into full-blown rock transcendence. But don’t sleep on “Going to California,” a pastoral acoustic ballad that might actually rival “Stairway” in quiet depth, or “When the Levee Breaks,” a seismic closer with one of the most iconic drum sounds ever laid to tape. Not flawless, but undeniably iconic—IV is where Zeppelin stepped out of the mire and etched themselves into classic rock marble.
the hits are REALLY hits
Me decepcionó bastante. Siendo el 5 álbum mejor valorado de la mierda esta me esperaba algo más. Que si, que stairway to heaven es un tema de 10 y black dog es mítico, pero el resto del álbum aporta 0. Entiendo que es un album viejo pero la producción es terrorífica, y Jimmy Page es el guitarrista más sobrevalorado de la historia nunca había escuchado un disco con fallos en las guitarras. 6/10->3/5
i never cared for led zeppelin
Stairway to Heaven is an excellent though somewhat overhyped track. That alone should give a score of at least 4 but unfortunately there is too much dross on this album so it's not getting more than 3.
How many Led Zepp Ellin albums are on this list? I swear this is the second one I've had in as many weeks.
I still think this is one of the most overrated albums of all time. 6/10 because it has Stairway but 5/10 without it... really such sub-par songwriting and I don't get why it's so beloved
Well, "Stairway to Heaven" is definitely a good song. But overall, Zeppelin ain't my cup of tea.
Decent album from them, liked III better, but this record was still good. Has its good and bad.
It's just not doing much of anything for me, unfortunately. Pleasant enough to listen to, but blends together, and nothing really sticks out too much.
I can see why people like it, but other than Stairway, it’s largely forgettable. Creedence did it better
There are a lot of reasons to hate boomers, but listening to this and thinking “yeah, Mr. LED can sing” is a top 20 reason.
Second Led Zeppelin album on this list. Enjoyable enoug but I wouldn't relisten.
One of the most overrated bands of all time. The musicians are excellent but Robert Plant’s vocals are just obnoxious.
I acknowledge their greatness, but they just don't do it for me.
Algunes cançons me sonen a Beatles, començ a pensar que es sa meva ignorància.
No more classic rock pleeeeeeaae. Sandy Denny good. All good, just unable to really provide much more than thumbs up and yes over album length.
Stairway to heaven!!
eu sou do rock. 3,5
First and last track are all time bangers. I don’t love the middle.
going to california is great big fan of folk led zeppelin
3,5/5
lotta hits but i'll never like led zeppelin
A few well know classic rock songs.
am i the only one that is always disappointed when the levee breaks opens and it's not the Bestie Boys? Stairway is a fast forward but otherwise it's oretty solidly good. 3.5
131/1089 - I'm going against the grain here but this is honestly one of the weaker Zeppelin albums for me. The songwriting overall is very redundant (slightly related too is Side A is all in the same key of A minor [arguably there are some A major ones I guess but it's still all A]), and I'm not a fan of the constant starting and stopping on Black Dog. Stairway to Heaven is good but definitely overplayed and the start and end of When the Levee Breaks was pretty cool.
-i can’t get over how incredibly powerful this whole album is. lyrics, instrumentally, Robert’s voice. it must’ve been absolutely incredible hearing this come out in 1971… i know my dad’s a huge fan -though it didn’t all appeal to me personally, it was still a super fun listen. gotta hear some more stuff by them someday, maybe my rating will change -Favorites are Black Dog and When the Levee Breaks
it was good!
Similar to III, some of the greatest guys to ever do it and they do it well here
pretty decent. high 3/5
Сложная группа в моем сознании. Вот чесслово, просто окэй. Лучшая песня - Stairway to Heaven.
I have a few problems with Jimmy Page. Having a child as a girlfriend might have been overlooked in the 70s but it leaves a weird taste in the mouth now when listening to his music. He looks exactly like Geert Wilders, which isn't anyone's fault, but is a bit disconcerting. I also don't love him as a guitarist or producer. I know that he was very talented, and in the context of the time was doing great things, but Zeppelin's sound is small, tinny and underwhelming to me, and a lot of Page's guitar work just sounds sloppy. Hendrix, Deep Purple etc predate this and managed to have none of these problems, so it isn't a technological limitation. And so this album. As with all of their music, I feel it would have sounded vastly better if it were recorded a decade or two later, with a fuller, more epic rock sound. I much prefer the Kennedy Center live version of Stairway for this reason. It sounds like what the song should have been. There are obviously classic songs on here. Stairway, naturally, is one of the best rock songs of all time, even if it was plagiarised to some extent. Levee is brilliant, Black Dog is brilliant. I appreciate the Tolkien nerdery. I don't understand why this is seen as one of the best albums of all time, though. There's a fair amount of folky filler on here too, that is less effectively integrated into the overall than it was in Led Zeppelin 3. I don't hate it, I just also don't get the hype. Yes, it's bluesy, folky rock, and that's good stuff. Zeppelin's sound just doesn't do that much for me, ultimately, and their album tracks can verge into annoying territory, if anything.
3.5 - Classic Rock
I think I liked this more than the last led zeppelin. Could maybe bump to a 4 with more listening
Sure it was grand, was fun listening back and found I enjoyed when the levee breaks more than I did a couple years ago, however I was already familiar with the album and wasn't as excited by it as previous ones.
It was ok
First Listen - Only know 'Stairway to Heaven' I generally like Rock/Folk music. This is no different, easy enough to listen to. Not so much a fan of the first 3 songs felt like they had no structure and were just noise. . . 'When the Levee Breaks' is an amazing song.
Great listen!
Hmm de første sangene var litt gamle på en dårlig måte, men albumet tar seg opp mot slutten (Going to California likte jeg best etter Stairway to Heaven, men den hadde jeg hørt fra før av).
Ce n'est pas trop mon style mais Stairway to Heaven est un classique!
This has been my least favorite Led Zeppelin listen so far. Still decent; listenable. Just not something I’d choose to put on. Stairway to Heaven is easily my favorite song on this album. The Battle of Evermore was sharp and almost painful. That song alone brings this album down a point for me.
Rock and Roll is incredible and one of my favourite songs by Led Zeppelin. Still, a couple of songs on this album didn't hit the same way and so it gets a slightly lower score than I expected.
I have never really loved this album. I've listened to it more times than I can count and outside of Stairway to Heaven and Going to California, it just really doesn't do it for me. I am a big time Zep I and II guy and think their early stuff kicks ass. I can't in good honesty rate this album above a 7/10
Respect
Love parts, think others are way overhyped
Very cool standard rock album for sure !! Def can hear it’s a lot of bands influence. Some good songs but a lot are a bit dated sadly
Me gusta Led Zeppelin entonces it was okey not great
As much as I adore going to california and stairway to heaven, I enjoyed LZ 3 way more than this one
MID ALBUM. (Stairway To Heaven is terrific.)
I just can’t connect with Led Zeppelin. Obviously, it’s all in there: riffs, rocking rhythms, “Stairway to Heaven” etc. Good stuff! Thing is, though, if I’m going to enjoy a load of dudes taking silly things – mythical wars, outre symbology, trees, fairies – way too seriously, they’ve got to be wearing corpse paint. It’s the only way I can handle it. And so I get through this album twice with a smile, enjoy the occasional bop, and get on with finishing dinner. It’s good! They won’t miss my deeper adulation, I’m sure.
The Zeppelin album I feel like I (we all) know the best. It's got some bangers for sure, but most of those I overplayed before my 12th birthday and now it's hard to focus without them just turning into background noise. Anyways, more solid blues based arena rock here. I know this was groundbreaking for the era it was made but it's hard not to let the effects of history diminish my interest in this band's catalog.
Better than I thought. Maybe I like Led Zeppelin?
Another offering full of hits.
Still struggling to enjoy Led Zeppelin; I think it’s Jimmy Page’s voice that grates on me. Instrumental bits are fine. Anyway, this one’s a bit up and down, but I managed to get through it 😜
I somehow can't believe that, as a 37 year old rock/metal fan, this is the first time I've sat down and listened to a full Led Zeppelin album. And I wonder if that has hurt my opinion of it - I know that these guys inspired generations of artists, and that's probably why it starts to sound like everything else out there! Black Dog, Rock and Roll, and Stairway are the big standouts, but everything else tended to mesh together for me - it's God's, very good, but not outstanding and certainly not making me want to go back and listen again. Maybe I'll soften next time Led Zep comes up, but not right now.
I wasn't that impressed with Physical Graffiti, but when Black Dog came on, I thought I was going to really like this album. However, once the first couple of tracks finished, the rest of the music just didn't grab me. At their best Led Zeppelin knock it out of the park, but a best of album is probably the only thing I'd listen to with any regularity.
same same: nach 2x led zeppelin in 2 tagen dann wenigstens noch Stairway To Heaven.
How did this get to be the popular one, outside of having Stairway to Heaven? I like Led Zeppelin but this one feels really overrated. When The Levee Breaks is great and Stairway to Heaven and Black Dog are good, but the rest aren't much to write home about. Led Zep I through III and Physical Graffiti are all way better.
Overproduced.
Amazing how popular every song on this album is. It really keeps dealing the hits. It’s also remarkable how fresh it still sounds, likely because it’s never left the airways. I love the driving rhythm section and the vocals are amazing.
A lot of dicks in high school liked this even though we were almost a generation too late. It’s good but I’ve literally heard almost every song on here 500 times and the ones that I haven’t harbor their own reasons. Pass.
Fine but I don’t think I’ll ever be a ‘fan’
pior que eu acho esse o mais + ou - do led, mas ainda assim é bom. não vai ser stairway to heaven que vai me fazer dar mais do que 3 estrelas pra esse.
rock. definitivamente é led zeppelin. é legal, até gostei mais do que achei que gostaria. meu eu pré-adolescente gostava bastante, mas num é mto pra eu adulto não.
Les zep innit
Some good, some meh. 3/5
There are some wonderful moments on this album.
Black dog- good rock and roll- good the battle of evermore- uninteresting folk Stairway to heaven- no one is listening to this to hear the first 6 minutes Misty Mountain Hop- Fun guitar riff Four Sticks- slightly less fun than misty mountain hop Going to california- Another folk song When the Levee Breaks- A great Bonham tune I'd actually give it a 7 but you can't do half stars apparently. Black dog and Rock and Roll are ideal led zeppelin songs to me, and when the levee breaks and misty mountain hop are fun. They are an objectively skilled band all round, particularly Bonham, probably the best rock drummer of all time. But I hate having to listen to 6 minutes of boring music to get perhaps the greatest 2 minutes in music history on stairway to heaven. I guess the suffering makes the climax better? Anyways I didn't hate it, but if there are more zeppelin albums in this thing (which there are probably bound to be) hopefully they are later albums when they dropped the folk songs. I like folk, but these weren't interesting to me. Even with the Tolkien references.
Was slightly more impressed than I thought I'd be. When The Levee Breaks is a brilliant song. A couple of others weren't bad either. I personally can't stand anything with a screechy lead vocal and some of the other stuff sounds like Spinal Tap including Stairway To Heaven which I can't stand.
Not too crazy about this one. 7/10 Fav: Stairway to Heaven
This album was initially untitled with no details on the cover and is still one of the best selling albums in history.
Bit hit and miss for me. Some of the songs too weird for 4 stars
Mer weiss ja das bide 1001 Albe viel viel viel rock classics sind - und das macht grundsätzlich au spass - aber widermal sone neuentdeckig vomene 'moderne bangeralbum' dörfti au widermal cho. Trotzdem isch de let's eppelin au e band wo scho lang uf minere liste staht und bin froh hani das Album jetzt mal chöne lose. Mood bedingt aber leider nur drü Luftschiff, ah anderne Täg und mit chli meh Abstand zu anderne classic Rock Bands würd da sicher no es vierts Platz finde.
Oh läck du mir, oh leck du mir, Oh läck du mir am zeppelin und rutsch du mir de buggel ab und blass du mir id schueh. Hoi. Led Zepplin find ich übrigens e überragende band name. Han ez na drüber nahglese wieso und isch immer na coolio. Musikalisch heds mi nöd mega catcht. Stairway to heaven, aber scho e schöne ruhige song, susch hmmm. 3 - LED-lichterketti für min zepplin
Big 3
Fav song: Stairway To Heaven No one does like Zep. So cool to hear the influence they've had on modern music while going through their back catalogue. One of the best rock bands of ALL time - but I find the none-singles a little bland in this one. Stairway To Heaven is still one of the best rock songs ever recorded.
I was pleasantly surprised with this album. It wasn't anything great but it was good enough. First four songs were good and the rest was pretty meh, but overall fine
3+ Stars (9/15)
6/10 This was a mixed bag for me, some of it was enjoyable but overall not my style Extremely well produced and performed, but the voice of Plant just doesn’t do it for me A shaky start and a better second half Stairway to Heaven is legendary for a reason, very good It sounds derivative, presumably because it is heavily influenced by American blues rock, but also because it influenced so much that came after The blues and delta sounding stuff was deeply inauthentic with an American accent sung by a Brit Best: Stairway to Heaven
fine
Yo, album generator, Led Zeppelin is a 3 band for me. How many times do I have to tell you?
4. Starway to heaven. Tranquila y guay
Very much like Fleedwood Mac's Rumors to me. The good songs on the album have been so overplayed in radio and other media that I have no desire to listen to them and while it certainly isn't a bad album there is just nothing that really seems interesting when listening to it.
s/o rob plant x
Much of this doesn’t hit for me the way it used to. Largely because I find Plant obnoxious but also because it just feels like appropriated blues. “Battle of Evermore” is still cool though. “Stairway” is also pretty undeniably great as a composition even if I’m tired of it. “Going to California” is still pretty. And the actual blues cover “Levee” still rocks hard!
A couple of well known songs, yet not Led Zeppelin's best 6/10
It was fine. Not worth the hype but a few good tunes
Saved Prior: Stairway to Heaven Off Rip: When the Levee Breaks Cutting Edge: Rock and Roll Overall Notes: ? Not only do I not think this is a top 5 album of all time (as it currently sits on this site), I think it's barely a top 5 self titled Led Zeppelin album. Nothing is bad - it's still Zep after all - but I struggle to see what the big deal is outside of Stairway and Levee (which are both gargantuan tunes). LZIII is one of my favorites from this generator so the mediocrity of this album is shocking to me. Again, this is by Led Zeppelin standards, this would be a crowning achievement for most other bands.
Really enjoyable album. Some of the songs really rock. A few are a bit ponderous and folky and not so exciting.
Maybe I made the mistake of reading the reviews before I listened and everyone was saying it’s a masterpiece and one of the best album released, so I was expecting to really love it. Honestly, I kinda wasn’t like grabbed by it, it was enjoyable but I would run to put it on again. I felt the second half of the record better than the first half? Like from 4-8 were better than 1-3, and that Battle of Evermore was…interesting
They’re my favorite -SuLing
I didn't like it at all. Lots of the same kind of songs and everything just formed a pile of mush. Except Stairway to Heaven
Wild
Ok tier
Pompous, Hobbity, dirty rock and roll. Iconic riffs drown out the nonsense, at times great.
I'm writing this as I procrastinate writing a letter for English class, and I can say rightfully so. I really enjoyed the gradual diminuendo from louder and rockier songs like rock and roll to slower and quieter songs like the battle of evermore. Although most of the reviewers enjoyed the song - Stairway to heaven, I felt that it didnt stand out to me much. For me, the song that stood out was the battle of evermore ; the haunting repetitive melody that played in the background as the lead singer sang about the queen of light. The repetition in the last verse, altogether made a good listen
stairway to heaven is good
I enjoyed this one more that Led Zeppelin II
I really dislike Robert Plant's voice. Stairway is amazing but most of the rest of the album is a slog. I'm happy that I recognised Sandy Denny immediately.
I know it's their thing, but there is too much prog-folk nonsense on this. 3 solid songs, but not an album I'd return to
