1001 Albums Summary

I've listened to this one a million times going all the way back to my sophomore year of high school when I first heard Led Zeppelin for the first time. By the next school year, Zeppelin became and continues to be my favorite musical act of all time. Listening to "Whole Lotta Love" for the first time while listening to headphones was a surreal experience.

Arguably Led Zeppelin's greatest artistic achievement, this double-album demonstrates the band at the height of both their popularity and creative powers. Zeppelin masterfully crafts songs that span hard rock, blues, pop, funk, world music, acoustic jams -- all done in their own style. Kashmir is easily one of their greatest songs ever, but The Rover is also one of their most underrated gems with a riff one could listen to repeat over and over.

An absolute masterpiece and Stevie Wonder’s defining achievement which portrays the fullest range of the human experience.
