1971

Led Zeppelin

Heavy Psychedelic Rock

This album stands as the defining record of the group, fusing the folk, rock, and blues from their first three albums with the mystical and magical.

If you're coming to Led Zeppelin for the first time, then this is a great record to start with. The first two songs rock harder than most and then give way to a folk tale rooted in Tolkein characters and themes.

A personal favorite, in addition to the usual favorites, is 'Misty Mountain Hop' and 'Going to California' which show how versatile this band was when held up next to 'When the Levee Breaks'.

So if you're in the mood, crank this album on a good pair of headphones or speakers and take a trip, my friend.
