Led Zeppelin Discography Review

[BiteUrLip]

I am a big fan now, I must say... Zeppelin's work is often quite dark, and guitars are in an essential part.

So, to the big picture:

Led Zeppelin I ***** Highlights: "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You", "Dazed And Confused", "Your Time Is Gonna Come", "Communication Breakdown", "How Many More Times"
Led Zeppelin II ***** Highlights: "Whole Lotta Love", "The Lemon Song", "Thank You", "Heartbreaker", "Living Loving Maid (She's Just A Woman)", "Ramble On"
Led Zeppelin III ***** Highlights: "Immigrant Song", "Since I've Been Loving You", "Out On The Tiles", "Tangerine", "That's The Way"
Led Zeppelin IV *****+ Highlights: "Black Dog", "Rock And Roll", "The Battle Of Evermore", "Misty Mountain Hop", "Going To California", "When The Levee Breaks" Super highlights: "Stairway To Heaven"
Houses Of The Holy *****+ Highlights: "The Song Remains The Same", "The Rain Song", "Over The Hills And Far Away", "Dancing Days", "D'yer Mak'er", "The Ocean" Super highlights: "No Quarter"
Physical Graffiti *****+ Highlights: "Custard Pie", "The Rover", "In My Time Of Dying", "Houses Of The Holy", "Trampled Under Foot", "Bon-Yr-Aur", "Down By The Seaside", "Ten Years Gone", "Night Flight", "The Wanton Song", "Boogie With Stu", "Sick Again" Super highlights: "Kashmir"

An extremely impressive discography, with only one dud - the last album.

Total NOD: 0 (Perfect!)

BiteUrLip:

Another great job on the Led Zeppelin discography.

I do like bits and pieces of Led Zeppelin.  I bought LED ZEPPELIN II and LED ZEPPELIN IV when I was younger and IN THROUGH THE OUT DOOR when it was released.  In more recent years I have been purchasing their more mellow songs from one album and another on iTunes.  I just don't feel qualified to do a proper discography but do enjoy a variety of their songs.  I just bought "Ramble On" and a long-time favourite "D'yer Mak'er" on iTunes the other day.  As no surprise, "Stairway to Heaven" was my first favourite Led Zep song.

I do remember how IN THROUGH THE OUT DOOR shocked, musically, a few Led Zep fans when it came out.  Cool album inner sleeve;  if contacted with water, it changed from black & white into colour!  Wasn't it wrapped in brown paper as well?
