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. [First added to this chart: 06/12/2017]

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 added to this chart: 06/12/2017]
