The fourth album by the English rock band Led Zeppelin was released on 8 November 1971. No title is printed on the album, so it is generally referred to as Led Zeppelin IV, following the naming standard used by the band’s first three studio albums. The album has alternatively been referred to as Four Symbols, The Fourth Album (those two titles each having been used in the Atlantic catalogue), Untitled, The Runes, The Hermit, and ZoSo, the latter of which is derived from the symbol used by Jimmy Page for the album sleeve. ZoSo has subsequently been used as moniker for Jimmy Page.
Upon its release, Led Zeppelin IV was a commercial and critical success. The album is one of the best-selling albums worldwide at 32 million units. It has shipped over 23 million units in the United States alone, making it the third-best-selling album ever in the US. In 2003, the album was ranked 66th on Rolling Stone magazine’s list of “The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time”.

Back in the day..1978, my older brother told me to put on his headphones
and listen to this song. I was only 15. I am 50 now and to this day, this
is one of my favorite songs. Led Zeppelin is legendary!
Those drums.
Was reading that Pete Townsend never liked ANYTHING that the Zeppelin
did……….
……………………………………………What a TOOL he
is………………….
This is one bad ass song,
I used to play this song every morning when I went to highschool.
Memories.

CLASSIC ROCK!!!
Don’t it make you feel bad
When you’re trying to find your way home
You don’t know which way to go?
good morning coffee!!
First part kinda sounds like an The Beastie Boy song
♡♥
John Bonham is probably the greatest drummer who played in his genre. If
he isn’t, he’s certainly got the greatest greatness to ego ratio of anyone
who lived in the 20th century. The drum sound on this song is fluid, like
you can’t believe it’s individual percussion notes, a sound you can’t just
get hitting the drumheads. I want to compare it to Jimi Hendrix on guitar,
but I am not that good with words. Then the ego bit. Listen to Stairway
to Heaven. Bonhaam holds back until when? Half the song is over before
you hear a single percussion note. How many great artists would sit for
that long silent in order to make something great? Just awesomeness.
Autentich song by Led Zeppelin
Zepp is da sexiest music N da world 2 me. Thank da music Godz.

Give a listen to just the drum track from this song, you’ll feel his
power!!!

Just found out this is a remake of a song so old…I don’t think there is
anyone left who heard it back in the ’20’s. If there is … they probably
don’t remember it. Amazing how some very old songs are remade and still
appreciated. Way to go Zep. Truly a great song.
Just recently discovered Led Zeppelin and Rolling Stones. Amazing. The only
band that semi compares is the black keys

I remember getting this LP the week it came out. I was 15 years old. A pal
got Alice Cooper’s Killer the same day and we had long arguments as to
which was better! Ah the joys of youth. Still one of my absolute faves; One
of the top 20 LPs of all time, methinks…
I was once told Jimmy actually surrounded the mike on the kick drum with
water balloons in order to get that sound
Not sure if it was true or not but it sounds plausible
now i know where acdc and guns and roses got their inspiration from
This is how you cover a song and make it entirely your own. Magnificent!
This song is just pure magic… Damn it I’m horny and excited now!
My all time favorite Led Zeppelin song!
I can not believe their is a Pete Townshend comment on here…The
WHO…really? This band would blow anybody off the stage…So keep your
stupidity off here

How could someone not like this song?
2:44 If your goin down south and you know what to do, then you’re cumming
on the shit gargoyle
Recorded at Headley Grange, using the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio. Bonham
had set up a new drum kit in the great hall, called the “Minstrel’s
Gallery”. Described as three stories high and like a cathedral. Bonham
started playing. Jimmy heard it, and had Bonham play the drum part to this
tune, and knew what they had to do. The recording crew dropped a pair of
mikes from the staircase over Bonham’s kit. Engineer Andy Johns recorded
the drum tracks on two channels through Page’s vintage Binson reverb unit.
The rest is history. The most sampled drum riff of all time, ‘cos nothing
digital can create a sound like that.
Led Zeppelin or Kansas Joe Mccoy? Search for Kansas Joe Mccoy (1929) – When
the Levee Breaks
I am 56, ZEPPELIN RULES!!! The Rolling Stones might be the greatest
ROCK-N-ROLL band in the world, but ZEPPELIN RULES
One of my all time favorite Zepplin songs. Wish they made music like they
used to.
Nice drum machine :-P
led zepplin and one of the best band that ever met in life not seen
anything better than them until today
Been a fan since ’79 and never tire of Zeppelin. Greatest rock band of the
period and this is the greatest drum track bar none. Bonzo knew his way
around the kit and had great technique. One of his finest moments this.
who;s playing the Harp ??????
What a great album. Not one wasted nanosecond of wasted space. Just an
absolute beauty.
Now who the hell doesn’t like Led Zeppelin? Makes me crazy every time I
have a listen.mean old levee taught me to weep and moan.
I saw a man walk into the truck stop yesterday who looks identical to the
man on front of this album cover.
Damn what a groove!
