This was the album that started it all. Filled with bluesy rock music, this became one of rock's most classic albums.
Starting out with "Good Times, Bad Times" and ending with the 8:28 minute long "How Many More Times", this album will rock your world.
Jimmy Page just coming out of The Yardbirds, getting to experiement more with his Telecaster and Gibson Super Jumbo, really shows his guitar playing skills, with the acoustic "Black Mountain Side" to the moving solo in "How Many More Times". Yet in "Dazed and Confused", he packs the classic violin bow solo.
Robert Plant has the chance to show off his melting voice in songs such as "Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You", "Communication Breakdown", and "How Many More Times".
John Paul Jones has some solo organ time in "Your Time Is Gonna Come". He also gets to show off the legendary bass riff of "Dazed and Confused".
Bonham shows that he can pack a punch with drums throughout the whole album.
Zep gets more into the blues style throughout the songs "You Shook Me" and "I Can't Quit You Babe", showing once again that Robert has an awesome voice.
This is one of my personal favorite albums, and I suggest it to any into Blues and Rock.
