Led Zeppelin took the blues and amped-up the volume to new heights. What an amazing confluence of music history that this band happened. "Rock & Roll" is my top track of all time and "Stairway" set a new standard.

The one-two punch of "Heartbreaker" and "Living Loving Maid" hits you right in the mouth like superb hard rock should. The rest of this groundbreaking album burns with the same intensity.

A nearly perfect album headlined by "Nowhere Man," this album tops The Beatles discography despite many critics citing "Sgt. Pepper's" as the single greatest album of all time.

The album continues to grow on me. The recent 50th anniversary got me listening recently. It's "the" critics' choice...

Obviously a huge Zeppelin fan...have to include the debut. "Communication Breakdown" is a revelation. Including a classic blues re-make ("I Can't Quit You Baby") established a pattern for future albums.

First compilation in my list. It's hard to compete with John's catalog on the field of greatest hits.
