Advantages: Mystical rock ballads from the perilous realm,crashing drums throwing the songs in every direction,the birth of rock and roll !!
Disadvantages: NONE

...Led zeppelin sky rocketed into space after the enormous success of their mystical debut album,while led zeppelin 1 was a crazy mix of high fidelity and folk magic,the album was very divided in style. There were heavy rock ballads as a backdraw to hold the album up and to emphasise it's music genre,but in between these ballads was pure dazzling magic,laid back,soothing and peculiar tunes and melodies.The magic of Zeppelin has always been lingering in every song but in a cuple of melodies a certain magic is injected into the song by John Paul Jones's crazy, arcane meddling in the forces of medieval instruments such as organs and magical harpsichord like experimentation. While zeppelin lingered around in the confused late 60's era,their debut was very mixed to suit the style at the time.Their debut album had the heavy rock balading... Read review

Advantages: Fantastic band that helped define 'rock'!
Disadvantages: No longer a band.

...Led Zeppelin are the epitome of 70's rock. They helped create the genre of rock and heavy metal. Led Zeppelin started off as what was essentially a bluesy rock band. Their first album [the self titled "Led Zeppelin"] was a mish mash of blues and material Jimmy Page took with him from his Yardbirds days. Good examples of this period of blues rock is "Dazed and Confused", "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You" and "Good Times Bad Times" This album got heavily slated by the press, though it still climbed speedily through the charts. The next album "Led Zeppelin II" was much more in the vein of hard rock, it really revolutionised the genre. The anthemic riff from "Whole Lotta Love" [for those of you not familiar with this song - it was used as the Top of The Pops theme song] set the style and pace for all the future rock bands to come. The riff... Read review

Advantages: one of the greatesr rock n roll albums ever
Disadvantages: none

...This is the second led zeppelin album and was released on 22nd of October 1969 under Atlantic records. In my opinion this is the best album they have done before I start talking about the album I will give you a little information about the band. Formed in the summer of 1968 led zeppelin consisted of the following members...

Advantages: A Monumental Achievement For Rock
Disadvantages: None at all. Really!

...In 1971, Led Zeppelin released an album that would help revolutionise rock music! This album was Led Zeppelin's fourth. By this time they had already gained a tight stranglehold on the rock music scene. The album is, in itself, structered and cohesive - taking the listener on a rollercoaster of sound. It starts of violent and then gently peaks - before crashing down again with one more small lul before the climatic end. Track one is "Black Dog" - it has an intense drum beat and the guitar riff is blistering. John Paul Jones keeps the pace while Plant performs vocal stunts others could only dream of if they'd been castrated! This track really kicks off the album and sets the pace for the rest of the tracks. Track two is a real rock 'n' roll song called, surprisingly enough, "Rock and Roll". This has a drum beat most drummers... Read review

Advantages: Excellent musicianship, some great tracks
Disadvantages: Too short

...I have been prompted to write a review of this after reading another review which I expressed views on this album so diametrically opposed to mine I felt compelled to respond. In Through The Out Door is an album which shows a huge progression beyond the excellent Led Zeppelin I, II, III and IV albums. This however was not a retrograde step, it was not a negative development it merely reflected the progression in the excellence of the band as musicians and the advance in their songwriting and production. There was a greatly increased use of mellotron and synthesisers yes and John Paul Jones was much further forward on this album than any other but there are still hug
