Amazon.co.uk Review Also known as the "rune" album because of the medieval symbols adorning its cover, Led Zeppelin's fourth album, released in 1971, turned them from mere superstars into giant behemoths of the rock world. On tracks like "Black Dog", "Misty Mountain Hop", and "Rock and Roll", the combination of Robert Plant's banshee wails and Jimmy Page's frenetic guitar playing forever altered the stylistic bent of hard rock music. And the foreboding "When the Levee Breaks" demonstrated that Zeppelin could indeed play the blues fairly straight if they so desired. Still, everything here ultimately took a back seat to the album's (and, ultimately, the band's) magnum opus--the expertly constructed and deftly executed classic, "Stairway to Heaven". --Billy Altman

my favourite rock album ever!! October 2, 2008 one word amazeing stairway to heaven alone!! fantastic album no 1 rocks like zep jimmy page one of the best guitarists ever along with david gilmour but my favourite is jimi hendrix electric ladyland wow!! buy this album classic rightly so!!
Deserves it's reputation September 29, 2008 This album has a reputation as being one of the all time great rock albums. And it totally deserves it.
It is the product of a band at the height of their powers.
Stairway to Heaven is the best known track and is so familiar that we shouldn't take notice of it anymore. However even at this remove it isn't possible to hear the opening bars without a frisson of glee going through me. Black Dog is another classic "Rock" tune.
There are also a few excellent folk influenced songs on the album, such as "Battle of Evermore" and "Going to California" and these demonstrate the band's versatility.
And the epic is rounded off with the dark and threatening "When the Levee Breaks", which for me has even more resonance since Katrina hit New Orleans a few years ago.
Quite simply you must have this album.
Led Zeppelins most famous album all because of the wicked Stairway to Heaven. June 20, 2008 This album is a classic and and includes the famous and overplayed song Stairway To Heaven which is an epic song. Everyone is saying Stairway To heaven is the best but i think it's The Battle Of Evermore inspired by the lord of the rings books (or something like that). Every song is a classic from the rocker Rock N' Roll to the slow acoustic Going To California this is a rock masterpiece by Led Zeppelin. A must have in any music fans collection you cant be without it. Long live led zeppelin.
