Hit: 5 Stars

Release of Led Zeppelin's IV in 1971 cemented their statue of a super group at forefront of the new frontier establishing itself in music partially because of them. It was called hard rock. Over a year earlier another band called Deep Purple had released their album called In Rock which also was becoming one of the most influential albums of this new hard sounding field. One of the songs of that album called Child In Time was a 10 minute long epic rock song connecting the beauty of melodic rock with the hard sounding rock, and featuring a long lasting guitar solo by Ritchie Blackmore. It is very possible that Stairway To Heaven was Led Zeppelin's answer to Child In Time. These two songs were compared and played together very often by us in the early 1970s. The beauty of Stairway To Heaven was breathtaking in terms of a concept, lyrics, the mood created by its first soft acoustic melodic minutes as well as by its harder progression. It has to be said that the main guitar riff does belong to the American band Spirit which you can hear in their song Taurus but by all means, all of you active musicians out there, go back to the 1960s and 1970s and do pick some beautiful moments you can find and elaborate on them, bring them to the wider audience who probably never heard these riffs and wouldn't have otherwise anyway. The progression of Stairway To Heaven is spectacular in its very even build up of tempo and energy, but not until we are allowed to float in the beauty of the acoustic part of this song long enough. Lyrically and spiritually this song was truly inspiring. The title was perfect, the beginning lyrics quite meaningful making us feel like we understand the following poetic progression in which clear thoughts were dressed in abstract catchy phrases allowing us all to make up our own stories. However, I would love to know how many of us might not have migrated west without `there's a feeling I get when I look to the west and my spirit is crying for leaving' inside of us. Stairway To Heaven, Going To California, The Battle Of Evermore and When The Levee Breaks. How on earth were they able to come up with such spectacular magic, all at once? Every one of these songs is special in its own way. These are the songs you need one of, to elevate the rank of your entire album by a couple of stars. Going To California has for a long time been my favorite song of this album. Its simple beauty of melodic line, acoustic sound and Robert's voice addressing Joni Mitchell make this song perfect to me. The Battle Of Evermore's poetic and mysterious lyrics addressing Tolkien's The Lord Of The Rings probably mean more to you if (as I have in my teens), you have walked into Tolkien's kingdom at some point in your life, but the main power of this song lies to me in the beautiful harmony of vocals (Robert Plant was singing this song together with Sandy Denny of Fairport Convention) with the acoustic folk music carried mainly by mandolin and guitar. There is this simple repetitive element to this harmony which attracts me a lot. When The Levee Breaks has this spectacular distorted sound to it echoed and engineered perfectly to give us this very unusual addictive atmosphere. My personal favorite songs of Led Zeppelin are the following: Battle Of Evermore, All My Love, Since I've Been Loving You, Baby I'm Gonna Leave You, When The Levee Breaks, Going To California, Kashmir, I'm Gonna Crawl, Tangerine, The Rain Song, Thank You and Stairway To Heaven.

Led Zeppelin IV Poster

UK remastered reissue of 1971 album, packaged in a limited edition miniature LP gatefold sleeve. Eight tracks. Atlantic. 2003.
Also known as the "rune" album or Zoso because of the medieval symbols adorning the inner sleeve, 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
Jimmy Page was a top London studio guitarist before he got rich and famous as the musical leader of Led Zeppelin. The group's fourth--and arguably their finest--album is as much a tribute to his technique as a monument to his versatility. Page produced the album, co-wrote all eight songs, and played mandolin as well as all the guitars. Musically, this 1971 disc ranges from acoustic English folke ("Goin' to California" and "The Battle of Evermore," the latter featuring the late Fairport Convention frontwoman Sandy Denny) to bone-crushing, bluesy riff-slinging. On the album's centerpiece, "Stairway to Heaven," these light and dark strains are dramatically intertwined. The chiming "Four Sticks" aside, it's the Little Richard-inspired "Rock and Roll" and the tricky time changes--a Zeppelin trademark--of the fast-and-furious "Black Dog" that elevate this album into more than just a bustle in aspiring guitarists' hedgerows. --Don Waller
