No wonder Led Zeppelin IV is rated the top of LZ's albums - one goldie after another. This is the album the 70s rock stations play their selections from - Black Dog, Rock and Roll, The Battle of Evermore, Stairway to Heaven, Misty Mountain Top, Four Sticks, Going to California, and When the Levee Breaks. If you're a rocker and don't have this album, it's a must have.

Oh gosh, what an album! There's not a song that isn't unloved. This is essential Led Zepp and possibly their best work, imo. It has the famous "Stairway to Heaven" and "Going to California", but that's not all it's good for. I love to song to this album and Robert Plant is an excellent and difficult vocalist to imitate, but he sounds so beautiful! And Jimmy Page is legendary! This is the album to buy if you want to start your Led Zeppelin collection. This and the first album.

When the legendary British rock band Led Zeppelin debuted in 1969, they were on their way to becoming one of the most powerful acts in the business. Their self-titled debut album introduced their sound to the world. This would be followed by "II" and "III". However, it was "Led Zeppelin IV" that showed them at their creative peak. All 8 songs on this album remain rock classics, becoming FM radio staples. "Black Dog" was issued as a single to promote the album and is noted for the title not appearing in the lyrics; "Rock And Roll" is exactly what is says; "The Battle Of Evermore" has an almost unearthly feel about it; "Stairway To Heaven" is rock's all-time greatest song; "Misty Mountain Hop" moves along at a rapid pace and was also released as the B-side to the "Black Dog" single; "Four Sticks" was literally played with four sticks by drummer John Bonham; "Going To California" is the album's quietest song; "When The Levee Breaks" displays the band's blues-oriented influences and is a perfect way to close this fine album. Many Zeppelin fans consider this album to be the group's finest hour. With such a diverse line-up as such like these, it is easy to see why. Just when it seems as though this group of British rockers could not possibly top themselves, they would go on to release four more remarkable albums; "Houses Of The Holy", "Physical Graffiti", "Presence" and "In Through The Out Door". The decade of the 70s belonged to Led Zeppelin, and "Led Zeppelin IV" has many wonderful moments on it that place them in a class all by themselves.Read full review
Every rock and roll fan has to have this C.D., it's just a must!!!Stairway to heaven is like the national anthem to most rockers and can be listened to time and time again for years. And just before Stairway you have Rock and Roll which is what you need to get you ready for Stairway...it gets you all wound up and ready to party; I have gone from 8 track to cassette, to album, and to C.D, sometime you will go into a record store to get the C.D. and the young person will be in wonderment in why so many people come in and buy this C.D. You will just have to smile and laugh, cause you know why it is so important to you to have this product! You remember back at all the parties when you were young, and this tape would be playing over and over as you set in a corner and tried to stay awake.
Great CD! Just what I thought I'd be receiving. Perfect packaging too. Awesome for any Rock music lover and a great addition to any collection. I've listened to this music all my life and I still find it great listening. These guys are the best of all time. They can still play like they did when this album/CD first hit the stores. They say that "Stairway to Heaven" is one of the greatest rock and roll songs of all time. For me this is true. Enjoy it for yourself!!!
