Zep I: Four young Brits explode out of the gate and help define "Heavy Metal".

Zep II: Written and recorded while the band was touring. English heavy metal blues at its best.

Zep III: Written at Bron-Yr- Aur. Page always said that he wanted Zep to be the perfect mixture of "light and shade".

Zep IV:

Alright so my initial rating was good: half the album is fire, most of the rest is dull ****, with some other **** that's good. 6/10

I had to be a little contrary and gave it a 9. It's an excellent album but the first three are still better as is Physical Grafitti. I'm especially partial to Stairway To Heaven, When the Levee Breaks, and Misty Mountain Hop.

PG is their best one yeah.

The first half is clearly the best, though "Misty Mountain Hop" and "When the Levee Breaks" are indeed unassailable."Misty Mountain Hop" just has such a weird bounce to it that's almost electronica with the production.

Song just kind of builds up nicely until the end.

Song is just kind of ****ing boring until the end.

For me, an album has to be flawless from start to finish to give it a 10/10 and this one fulfills that requirement. A perfect blend of Led Zep's rocking/folk/heavy musicianship all the way through. Page, Plant, Jones, and Bonham at the top of their musical game. The album even features the added bonus of having the late, great, vocalist extraordinaire Sandy Denny (of Fairport Convention fame) singing on "The Battle of Evermore" (the only song Led Zeppelin ever recorded with a guest vocalist.)

10/10

9/10 for personal enjoyment but considering 'IV' is the most musically notable record in their discography, it has to be a 10/10 from me.
