Led Zeppelin is the eponymous debut studio album by English rock band Led Zeppelin, released on 12 January 1969 in the United States and on 31 March 1969 in the United Kingdom by Atlantic Records. Led Zeppelin stayed on the Billboard chart for 73 weeks and held a 79-week run on the British charts. The 2014 reissue of the album helped it return to the Billboard top ten, peaking at number . .The success and influence of the album is today widely acknowledged, even amongst publications that were initially sceptical.

As Led Zeppelin proves, the group was capable of such multi-layered music from the start. Although the extended psychedelic blues of "Dazed and Confused," "You Shook Me," and "I Can't Quit You Baby" often gather the most attention, the remainder of the album is a better indication of what would come later.

Led Zeppelin, called one of the top rock and roll groups in the world by some pop critics, played at the Kitchener Auditorium to more than 2,000 rock fans Tuesday night. The show wasn’t all it could have been. Tonight was a very short set, Page said after the 45-minute show. Only after repeated applause and cheers did Zeppelin return to do an encore which was an old Eddy Cochrane rock song. Although the best rock ever to be held in this area, the Zeppelin group drew a very small crowd. Let’s hope the poor turnout won’t keep them from making a return trip. D.

Led Zeppelin remains the prototypical hard-rock album, and could well pegged as the first album of the ‘70s, aesthetically speaking. It also opened the door for countless bands, from Black Sabbath to Deep Purple, who then threw commercial caution to the wind and turned their amplifiers up to 11. Rock would never be the same. But somebody had to get their first – and that was Led Zeppelin, with this enduring classic of a first album. Fans responded, as this became Led Zeppelin’s first No. 1 album, after their debut stalled at No. 10. Other bands did, too. Before the Led Zeppelin II, people wrote songs – the melody, hook and chorus grabbed them. In October 1969, it suddenly became all about the riff. Zeppelin had already unleashed an n heaviness on their debut, then expanded upon that sound with the follow up.

Led Zeppelin are widely considered one of the best 70s bands and one of the best rock bands of all time. Led Zep formed in the UK in the late '60s, with a lineup consisting of Robert Plant on vocals, Jimmy Page on guitar, John Paul Jones on bass, and John Bonham on the drums. Tragically, the band's future was cut short in 1980, when Bonham died of an accidental alcohol overdose leading to inhalation of vomit.
