Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin (1969)
from Drop the Needleheads
"In the days of our youth, we were told what it means to pod a cast . . . " In January 1969, Led Zeppelin crashed into record stores with their seminal debut album. Mike Carpenter and Ben Yates begin their deep dive into the band's discography, dropping the needle on the nine-track LP featuring classic rock radio staples like "Good Times Bad Times" and "Dazed and Confused". Recorded just a month after the band's formation over a mere 36 hours of studio time, it introduced the world to the combined talents of Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Bonham, and John Paul Jones. Led Zeppelin I laid the foundation for what was to come, while growing in stature over the years as a bona fide classic on its own. Follow us @needleheadspod on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.
