Advantages: Brilaint Album Add More depth To Zeppelins Discography

Disadvantages: None

Also known as Led Zeppelin 4, The Runes Album or Four Symbols this album extended Zep's previous work. This album was recorded at a old workhouse known as Headley Grange. They were going to produce a double album but a delayed single set was produced. Effortless confidence seeped through quality rockers like 'Black Dog' and 'Rock & Roll'. The Battle Of Evermore and Going To California carried on the bands acoustic tradition as displayed in Led Zeppelin 3. The merging of acoustics and electric styles ultimately resulted in 'Stairway To Heaven' which sounds even more impressive today. 'When The Levee Breaks' shows Bonham at his best. The opening drum pattern of "Levee" has become one of the most sampled drum tracks cutting across all genres.

At one time during the seventies Stairway To Heaven recieved more airplay than any other time. Nowadays it is Robert Plants least fvourite song probably due to the number of time Zepellin played it on tour.
