LED ZEPPELIN

This is one of the greatest prog-related albums, but still a poor prog album. A number of classic and recognizable tunes are featured. Though it is certainly not progressive, it is still quite good. Some tracks are very boring, others catchy, but none very sophisticated or overly creative. Psychedelic passages and the bluesier side of rock throughout. Babe I'm Gonna Leave You is actually a cover without credit, but regardless, it is one of Zep's greatest moments, and they even manage to (occasionally) paint images (which is very rare with a hard-rock band like Zeppelin). It still sometimes sends chills.

One of Zeppelin's better releases. If you're looking for a place to start, why not start at the beginning?
