Led Zeppelins most famous album all because of the wicked Stairway to Heaven. - By: MrMetalheadO'Hagan, 20 Jun 2008 
This album is a classic & and includes the famous & overplayed song Stairway To Heaven which is an epic song. Everyone is saying Stairway To heaven is the best but i think it's The Battle Of Evermore inspired by the lord of the rings books (or something like that). Every song is a classic from the rocker Rock N' Roll to the slow acoustic Going To California this is a rock masterpiece by Led Zeppelin. A must havein any music fans collection you cant be without it. Long live led zeppelin.

The best Led Zeppelin album! - By: New Gold Dreamer, 13 Dec 2007 Best tracks: "Black Dog", "Stairway to Heaven", "Going to California", "When the Levee Breaks".
Led Zeppelin IV, or Four Symbols, or ZoSo, or The Rune Album, or The Fourth Album, or Untitled, or whatever - I'll just call it the Best Led Zeppelin Album - is a sensational rock monster masterpiece & the perfect introduction to one of the greatest bands of all time. From the unparalleled sex-groove of "Black Dog" to the astonishingly colossal "When the Levee Breaks", this is about as fun & fine as it gets. Yeah, back to "Black Dog" - what a song! Honestly, this boasts one of the most insanely fantastic riffs ever created (all hail Jimmy Page!) & exudes moments of such deliriously exciting fervour (check out that ending!) that most bands couldn't even dream of matching, this song is one major reason why people bow down to this band. It's an absolute classic and, dare I say it....their best song.... It's perfectly followed by the fun & fast good times of "Rock & Roll", which has a terrific chorus that'll have you boogieing on down like there's no tomorrow! Zeppelin definitely rock out on this album better than on any of their others (Robert Plant is on STUPENDOUSLY fine form here), but the ghostly & captivating "The Battle of Evermore", which seriously sounds like it was composed far awayin the White Mountains of Middle-Earth (that's Lord of the Rings by the way, which the band fondly referenced more than once) just exudes a genuine fantastical atmosphere that's too good to dismiss as Tolkein-obsessed fluff. Great guitar by Jimmy Page & lovely guest backing vocals by Fairport Convention's Sandy Denny too! Then there's "Stairway to Heaven", which is fantastic really; what can I say about this one that hasn't been said already? Well, it's a beautiful epic, evoking a shivery, quivering & uplifting atmosphere right up until that ecstatic solo that inspired a billion poorer imitations yet still sounds extraordinary today....I'm listening to it right now & yep, it is a thing of utter, ridiculous, fearless, thrilling joy! Listen to it go!
The second side opens with a blastin the form of the fantastic "Misty Mountain Hop" too; it's got a terrific hook & some killer drumming by John Bonham; this album's definitely his finest hour, though his greatest moment on this album was yet to arrive....anyway, back to "Misty Mountain Hop" has got it all, the band sound fantastic, it's a great time all round, & another classic! Five out of five so far! Can the album keep it up? Well "Four Sticks" is good, solid, not brilliant, but good. You can't have everything can you? It's a strong enough way to keep the album flowing though, & besides, the following "Going to California" sees the band deliver one of their prettiest, loveliest ballads ever....a welcome air of bucolic, evening-sky beauty along the lines of Led Zeppelin III's "Tangerine" & "That's the Way", it's haunting, delicate & truly lovely. Led Zeppelin weren't always about crunching riffs & huge drums, they often had a gorgeous lighter side to them, & this song is one of their best examples of this style. Nevertheless, they pack an immense wallop with closing song "When the Levee Breaks"; an incredible production that sounds amazingly ahead of its time for 1971, huge, spectacular drums (Bonham`s best ever!) & a heart-stopping riff (one of Zeppelin's most mindblowing) make for one of the biggest, most panoramic rock songs ever & a truly magnificent closer to one of the very, very best albums ever made! Turn it up LOUD!
