Summary: LED ZEPPLIN (the beginning
Comment: Gee! It only the beginning of one of my most favorite bands of all time.
In fact this album as well as others by Led Zepplin is the first in a series of works that could best be discribed as roolercoaster ride that never seems to end. If you're a thrill seeker Like I am and you prefer something out of the valt then this is all you brother!
As is the case with most Led zepplin albums this one always make me think of my favorite coaster of all time which just so happens to be the Matterhorn at Disneyland.Take a ride on the Zepplin and you'll soon see what i'm talking about. Led Zepplin in general could have had their own amusment park based on not only this album but the other five that come aster it.
Every song from Black mountainside to Babe I'm gonna leave you offhers up a ride you'll want to ride over and over again.You choose your ride: A fast high flying old fastioned Woody make of pure rock n roll for the soulwith just the right touch of mond twisting electric blue or a slow melodic unpluged log ride of natral beauty that only a thick green forest can provide that relaxes you while fulling you with sence of love and romance. This album is simple compaired to others in the Zepplin park of the mind but it will hook you. No need for an E ticket here!
Have fun and please make sure your seltbelt is fasened.

Summary: The best first album ever
Comment: Led Zeppelin burst onto the stage with this high-powered, blues-based album. Fortunately, it did not go over like a lead balloon and went on to be the first debut album to go platinum without a single.
This album is not for everyone. While songs like Communication Breakdown and Good Times, Bad Times showcase the powerful riffs that became the frontrunners to heavy metal, this album is basically a very heavy blues album. Having said that, Dazed and Confused is a haunting classic, and Babe I'm Gonna Leave You is the best example of the concept of "light and shadow" that Led Zeppelin tried to encorporate into their work.
New listeners should stick with LZ II, LZ IV (untitled) or Houses of the Holy. If you've heard those (or the greatest hits) and like what you've heard, dig deeper to hear this intricate and emotional entry into Led Zeppelin's powerful sound.

Summary: Led Zeppelin
Comment: What is there to say about Led Zeppelin except great music. My favorite concert ever was Led Zeppelin at (I forgot how to spell it) Keasar stadium in San Francisco. It was the last concert ever held there I think.

Summary: Classic Classic Classic
Comment: When I was 16 my hippie neighbor started sharing his Zepelin and Floyd collections with me and this is the first CD he gave me. Every evening I would turn off the lights in my room and listen to the latest offering. What I loved and still love about this album is how rough and dirty the compositions sound. This is, in my opinion, the purest form of rock and roll. The vocals are great, the guitars are sensational and the drums are powerful and confident. This is a classic rock lovers must-have.

Summary: Heavy? Anybody?
Comment: I bought this on vinyl when it came out. Played it until the grooves were see-through. Buying the CD and hearing this again makes me want to roll one up just like the old days. These guys have never really been matched. They had a certain sophistication in their songwriting which created an extra dimension to their hard driving heavy sound. If you listen to some of today's absurdities like "slipknot" or the "killers" you realize that groups like Zeppelin were light years out there in talent and substance, and you realize what has been lost. Tatoooos and bits and shards implanted in lips and pits and some sadsack drone don't make up for lack of artistic merit. This first Zeppelin album ought to be required listening for any wannabe rock poser. If this level of of music were the bar for hard rockers then 90 percent of the "recording artists" getting contracts today would as Keith Richards suggested "go home and shave".

Editorial Reviews:

As it turned out, Led Zeppelin's infamous 1969 debut album was indicative of the decade to come--one that, fittingly, this band helped define with its decadently exaggerated, bowdlerized blues-rock. In shrieker Robert Plant, ex-Yardbird Jimmy Page found a vocalist who could match his guitar pyrotechnics, and the band pounded out its music with swaggering ferocity and Richter-scale-worthy volume. Pumping up blues classics such as Otis Rush's "I Can't Quit You Baby" and Howlin' Wolf's "How Many More Times" into near-cartoon parodies, the band also hinted at things to come with the manic "Communication Breakdown" and the lumbering set stopper "Dazed and Confused." --Billy Altman
