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:

So you went for Remasters? It has a ton of songs on there, but maybe too many. What I mean is, if you decide that you really like Led Zep and want to buy the studio albums they released, you may find on buying them that you already have most of the songs on there. I'd have recommended Early Days and Latter Days, personally. Still, that is a great collection of tunes. I might as well do what Cyclone did:
Communication Breakdown - pumped up, energetic song. Not one of my personal faaves, but still good.
Babe Im Gonna Leave You - one of the epic songs, starts slow and then builds up into a crashing crescendo. Excellent.
Good Times Bad Times - a bit like the first track, only better. It's a fun little song.
Dazed & Confused - May take a while to get into, but one hell of a good song. Gets really good towards the end. Probably my favourite from the first album.
Whole Lotta Love - You'll surely no this as the old Top of the Pops theme, minus the crappy electronica. Still sounds good today.
Heartbreaker - couldn't be more riff based. Nice, hard rocking tune.
Ramble On - one of Zep's songs that take influence from LOTR, the countryside, old Albion, and times when magic had a K on the end.
Immigrant Song - probably the heaviest Zep song. Quick, pounding, energetic, etc.
Celebration Day - An odd selection for a best of, but typical of the third album.
Since Ive Been Loving You - A great blues track, probably Zep's best known.
Black Dog - Again, riff based, but one of the better songs of its ilk.
Rock N Roll - Riff based as above. Brilliant.
Battle Of Evermore - See Ramble On. Talk of mysterious days of old. Excellent use of the mandolin in this track.
Misty Mountain Hop - a track that is pure fun. Catchy, light hearted and brilliant.
Stairway To Heaven - best song ever written. It's epic. Starts slowly and mysteriously and builds into the most incredible guitar solo ever written followed by a hard rocking outro. This song is worth the money alone.
Song Remains The Same - An almost folky feel to it, strange song but great.
Rain Song - Another one that rises to a peak. Good, but I wouldn't say among their best.
Dyer Maker - Not one of my faves. In fact, probably my least favourite Zep song. Reggae. Not my bag.
No Quarter - Dark, haunting melodies present here. Zep's influence on bands like Queens of the Stoneage can easily be seen in this track.
Houses Of The Holy - Another light, bouncy track. Feel good song, I suppose.
Kashmir - Again, another track you'll know when you hear it. Great, but goes on a bit too long.
Trampled Underfoot - Sounds quite heavy, but really a mix of both the fun songs and the heavy tracks. Very very good.
Nobodys Fault But Mine - Poor intro, this is the only time I've thought a Zep track has been poorly produced. Great once you get into it though. Brilliant harmonica solo.
Achilles Last Stand - Second best guitar solo ever. Excellent song all round, another one of the epics. It does last over ten minutes, but doesn't feel that long.
All My Love - A more commercial song in many ways. Driven by a cracking riff, I really enjoy it.
In The Evening - A bit like Kashmir. Superb and memorable intro, the rest of the song doesn't let you down.
Other good Zep tracks to look into: In My Time of Dying, The Rover, Sick Again, Going to California, When The Levee Breaks, That's The Way, Bron Y Aur Stomp, The Ocean, Gallows Pole, Over The Hills and Far Away, Moby Dick, Bring It On Home.

Looks good from where I'm sitting... But you've already been told that twice now.
First of all there is no such thing as a bad Led Zeppelin album. The closest to that would be In Through The Out Door which I never really liked. Although it is my mother's favourite...
Anyway, back to the Remasters. It is there best of basically and has tracks from most of their albums, if not all. Yes, it does rock, muchly hard as well, and loud.
