"Led Zep - Advice"

Right so I just got the Best of Led Zeppelin off my mate. Now only having heard a few of their songs, and only knowing Stairway to Heaven, I don't really know much about/of them. So which songs do you recommend I listen to first? i.e which are your favourites and why?

Yup. Damn good album it is as well- not a weak track.

What do you call the album with the picture of the man with sticks on his back?
Led Zeppelin IV?

I don't know which songs are on the ablum, but Led Zeppelin-wise I reccomend that you listen to 'Rock and Roll', 'Houses of the Holy' and 'Dazed and Confused'. Damn good songs.

And of course, the fantastic aforementioned 'Stairway to Heaven'.

Achilles Last Stand, because it's Achilles Last Stand.
Trampled Underfoot, Immigrant Song, The Ocean, Black Dog - in no particular order.

If they're even on it, mind.

"When The Levee Breaks" because of the INSANE drums at the start and the laid back playing style.
