These guys have got to be some of the most talented group of people in the world (IMO!).

BIO: Led Zeppelin were an English rock band. Formed in 1968 in London, the group consisted of guitarist Jimmy Page, singer Robert Plant, drummer John Bonham and bassist John Paul Jones. With their heavy, guitar-driven blues-rock sound, Led Zeppelin are regularly cited as one of the progenitors of heavy metal[1] and hard rock, even though the band's individualistic style drew from many sources and transcends any one music genre. Led Zeppelin did not release songs from their albums as singles in the United Kingdom, as they preferred to develop the concept of "album-oriented rock".

More than thirty years after disbanding following Bonham's death in 1980, Led Zeppelin continue to be held in high regard for their artistic achievements, commercial success, and broad influence. The band have sold over 300 million albums worldwide, including 111.5 million certified units in the United States, making them one of the world's best-selling music artists of all time, as well as the second best selling band of all time in the United States, only behind The Beatles. They have had all of their original studio albums reach the top 10 of the Billboard album chart in the US, with six reaching the number one spot.[10] Rolling Stone magazine has described Led Zeppelin as "the heaviest band of all time", "the biggest band of the '70s" and "unquestionably one of the most enduring bands in rock history." Similarly, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame described the band as being "as influential in that decade [70s] as The Beatles were in the prior one

That and Tangerine are particularly amazing songs by them.

[J. Jett]

The Rain Song is quite possibly my favourite song.

[OctopusGuy]

The day my parents brought home for me a compliation CD of Zeppelin songs when I was 7 may just have been the most musically-defining moment of my life. I love Led Zep. :buddy:

I like Led Zeppelin a lot but I always thought they were pretty overrated. maybe I need to get more albums before I can judge properly (only have LZ and LZ IV)

[Lonestriper]

Na it is the original packaging of that album.

[Pepin]

Their first album is kind of funny because you get some pretty rocky songs, and then you get some extremely bluesy songs.

[JonniXD]

"Dazed and Confused" is one of my favorite songs ever.

And what do you think of this as Led Zeppelin fans?
