"I just ordered a Led Zeppelin album but have no idea if it's any good:S"

Do any of you know if the Led Zeppelin album I ordered is any good? It's my first one and I haven't really heard any of their music before but I heard that them, Black Sabbath and AC/DC are among the greats of Rock music. I was told this album was good because it had:
>Stairway To Heaven
>Whole Lotta Love
and
>Heartbreaker
on it.

However I want to know if the other 23 tracks are any good although I got my Dad to pay and it's only £13.99 so I don't really care. Anyway the link is:

BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA. Coffee has now been blasted over my monitor.

The Zep were two big, steaming bags of male testosterone, slung 'twix the legs of genuine Rock Gods.

By comparison, The Darkness are two raisins in a plastic bag, nestled firmly in the crotch of a tramp.

"raisins in a plastic bag by comparison" :) What on *earth* does that mean? Its one of the bst phrases I've heard of in a long time.

You got that right at least. The Zep rocked with balls, the Campness are raisins in a plastic bag by comparison.

Erm, Both are "Rock" bands (well, zip is a folk rock band), strange clothes, big hair, occasionally screetching vocals, etc etc.

You can't tell me The Darkness didn't take some inspiration from Led Zep, and that Led Zep are not in the slightest camp. You just have to look at Robert Plant for that................

The difference is, Led zep are cool and a brilliant band. The Darkness suck. Dogs n'bs.

Good God man! How can you even put the two bands in the same thread!? The Spandex are nothing more than a cheap Queen cover band, just camp and utterly humourless. Think Village People with guitars and a Dave Lee Roth chord songbook (not even the tab) and you're heading in the right direction.

Well done, you'll enjoy then. "The Darkness" sounding falsetto vocals, but, well, *good*.

I've just bought "The song remains the same", their DVD. Can't wait.

Wow well I guess everyone thinks the songs are all pretty much top class then. The whole Remastered thing though, does that mean that it is just a compilation of a few of their better songs or does that mean exactly that but the songs are slightly different to the albums? Just the word "remastered" gave me that idea. I would also like to know why Led Zeppelin never released any singles? Anyway that's all...well actually I haven't heard any Led Zep as you know but I think I prefer The White Stripes anyway and want one of their albums. Any advice?

Communication Breakdown - Good 'cos it's just a true pop song that rocks, in under 3 minutes
Babe Im Gonna Leave You - Pretty powerful, and also sounds wonderful
Good Times Bad Times - Not so good, bit irritating
Dazed & Confused - Brilliant. The Live version's too long, but what's great is that it's slow, has lyrics that are reminiscent of painful stuff, but that song still rocks out, and just sounds so... cool.
Whole Lotta Love - Wonderful for air guitar-ing, air drumming and air Robert Plant singing.
Heartbreaker - Show's off Page today though his influence onto others, and just rocks
Ramble On - Classic zeppelin rockage
Immigrant Song - Rocks like no other, great for listening to while driving and nodding your head in rhythm
Celebration Day - Can't remember it
Since Ive Been Loving You - Cool as hell on the How the West was Won version
Black Dog - Great, just so you can try and keep in time and fail miserably in the switches from singing to music
Rock N Roll - Classic
Battle Of Evermore - All mystical like Stairway to Heaven, but not so overdone
Misty Mountain Hop - Brilliant
Stairway To Heaven - So over the top it makes you not care
Song Remains The Same - Not Bad
Rain Song - Pretty good
Dyer Maker - So.... cool again.
No Quarter - Bit annoying
Houses Of The Holy - Delicious
Kashmir - Good, but way too long and thus a bit boring
Trampled Underfoot - One of my favourites, just undescribably funky and rockin' and making you wanna shake it.
Nobodys Fault But Mine - Amazing, even if just for the weird intro
Achilles Last Stand - Unbelievable, throws you back first time you hear it, and slightly nuts.
All My Love - Not bad
In The Evening - Not bad
