You can tell this in the folk-baroque acoustic setting to screaming heavy metal "Stairway to Heaven- (Abel, 554).
Between 1969 and 1982 they released nine albums; Led Zeppelin I, II, III, untitled, Houses of the Holy, Physical Graffiti, Presence, In Through the Out Door, and Coda. After my few short, wonderful years of listening to Led Zepplin I will offer you my views of each of the albums. I will also give a critics review of the albums.
On January 12th, 1969 "Led Zepplin I- was released. The album had been a long awaited one and fans and critics alike welcomed it generously. .
"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 (www.Emusic.com, September, 19th, 2002).
From the moment you hear the opening guitar chords of Good times, Bad Times coupled with John Bonham's powerful drumming you know this album is going to be great. It's easy to tell that the musicians in this album are going on to become one of the greatest, if not the greatest, rock band ever. Considering that this album was recorded in only 30 hours shows that Led Zeppelin was willing to throw in everything that they have to make their debut and it was worth it. Every track on this album is as unique now as it was when it was first released. From Jimmy Page's guitar work on "Dazed And Confused" to John Bonham's drum fills on "How Many More Times.
