Led Zeppelin IV by Led Zeppelin

Album #4 benefits from arriving early enough in Led Zeppelin's career that they still had something to prove, but late enough that they had developed the skill and confidence to execute their vision flawlessly. There's no excess here, no self-indulgence, no sense that the band has started believing their own mythology. Instead, there's a kind of fearless creativity, a willingness to trust in beauty and subtlety even while delivering some of the heaviest music ever recorded.Featured songs:Black DogMisty Mountain HopRock And RollGoing To CaliforniaStairway To HeavenWhen The Levee Breaks
