Guide Picks - Top 4 Led Zeppelin Studio Albums
Whether a new fan just starting to build a collection, or a vintage rocker
looking to fill a few gaps in the ol' CD rack, you're sure to find what
you're looking for below. These are the top four studio albums from Led
Zeppelin, as recommended by other Classic Rock fans in a recent forum poll.
1) Led Zeppelin IV aka: Untitled, Zoso, Ruins (1971)
Not only the best Led Zeppelin album, but IV is widely considered one of
the best Classic Rock albums, period. From opening song "Black Dog" to album
closer "When The Levee Breaks," we get the best of both worlds: bombastic
rock and acoustic splendor. Also includes FM staples "Misty Mountain Hop,"
"Rock and Roll," "Going To California" and the most requested song of all
time, "Stairway To Heaven." Read Review
2) Physical Graffiti (1975)
Once called "the last great Led Zeppelin album," Physical Graffiti came at
the peak of their reign as hard rock/heavy metal gods. It combined seven
older tracks with eight new songs to complete the double album, including
"Kashmir," "Trampled Under Foot," "Bron-Yr-Aur," "Ten Years Gone" and other
now-classics. Unfortunately, it was all downhill for Led Zeppelin after this
album.
3) Led Zeppelin III (1970)
No other album instigated such heated arguments among Led Zeppelin fans than
III, mostly because of its folky, acoustic base. Diehards were disappointed
that the mighty Zep had seemingly abandoned their bluesy, headbanging ways,
while others embraced the band's journey into English folk. Yet over the
years, III has stood the test of time and still sounds as fresh and original
as it did in the 70s.
4) Led Zeppelin II (1969)
Which brings us to Led Zeppelin II, a Page-riff-driven, hard rocking album
that established Zep as the kings of heavy metal. The kinks present on their
debut album had been ironed out by this time, and it shows in the seamless,
flawless, thrashing, straight-forward rock and roll. Includes "Whole Lotta
Love," "What Is And What Should Never Be," "Heartbreaker/Living Loving Maid"
and "Ramble
maybe so and I agree with the list but I love Houses of the Holy and Zep
one, which should also be on the top of anyone's list IMHO.......Zepgirly~
