Black Dog/Rock & Roll/The Battle Of Evermore/Stairway To Heaven/Misty Mountain Hop/Four Sticks/Going To California/When The Levee Breaks
The fourth album from the heavy rock band Led Zeppelin was never officially given a title, but is often referred to as Four Symbols due to the four hand drawn symbols on the inner sleeve. Includes Stairway To Heaven, voted the greatest rock track of all time. (US:2 UK:1)
“A definitive album of harder edged rock and a classic, each song is brilliant in its own way. Some tracks stay true to the bands roots in straightforward blues-rock, while others explore peculiar rhythms and song structures and more ambitious arrangements. The effect is superb and it captures the band at a creative peak.”
“The most popular song on the album is without doubt Stairway To Heaven, which has become the most demanded song on American radio stations. The eight minute epic starts gently but develops into a hard rocking tune with a fantastic guitar solo, often considered the greatest of all time.”
“From the moment the thunderously amazing Black Dog starts it's obvious that this is one of the best albums of all time. That feeling of awe that begins the album stays constant until the very end. It's one of the few albums that nearly everyone can agree is filled with classics. They rocked harder than almost anyone, but still had amazing slower songs with beautiful folk texturing.”
“Without a shred of doubt in my mind, this is the finest album, the finest recording, the finest piece of music, the finest work of art, and the finest concept in the history of time and space. Comparing other music, especially non-Led Zeppelin music, to this album is the highest blasphemy.”
“As of right now, seven different radio stations are playing seven different songs off this album. Thousands of teenagers are hearing it for the first time, and finding they have a new favourite. Thousands of middle-aged people are also listening to it, reminiscing about how it was a key part to the soundtrack of their teenage years.”
“You know, there are actually some people in the world who don't own this album. What a shame, it is such a classic. From the manic vocals on Black Dog to the rough Mississippi delta blues of When The Levee Breaks the album is epic. And of course, the centrepiece is Stairway To Heaven a slow building folk-rock masterpiece which climaxes in a volley of hard rock guitar lines and wailing vocals.”
