Led Zeppelin II sees the greatest band of all time expanding on the crushing heavy blues of their debut. This was the album that turned Jimmy Page's 1968 one-album studio supergroup (Page, Robert Plant, John Bonham & John Paul Jones) into a bone fide stadium act, topping the US album charts and setting them on course to become the most revered, and yes sometimes the most reviled, hard rock act in music history. Whilst of course still relying heavily ... ...a spacier sound on many of these tracks increases their appeal greatly. Mind you before the sound gets too spacey Page lets rip another power chord to bring things back into line.
Whilst overall this is one of the very best albums in the genre, it does have a slightly strange running order. The crush of Whole Lotta Love nestles uneasily next to the meandering bass of What Is And What Should Never Be; John Bonham's worship at the altar of skin Moby ...

Advantages: Heaven is a Jimmy Page solo. The lryics are something else, political correctness be damned Disadvantages: Only nine tracks and forty minutes. I don't like drum solo's much
Led Zeppelin II was released on October 22, 1969, around the same time as the Beatles' 'Abbey Road' and represented a seamless changing of the old guard to the new driving force in music with this, their follow-up to their debut album, Led Zeppelin. With this album, the band distanced themselves ever so slightly from their blues roots, and adopted a more mainstream, commercial style, though slightly more raucous than anything else out there. That ... ...uncharacteristic piece of music for Led Zeppelin. The song is peppy and upbeat, almost "light", which is very unusual for the 'kings of heavy'. It's a song about a woman who sleeps around and uses the men in her life.
"Alimony, alimony payin' your bills,"
"Livin', lovin', she's just a woman."
"When your conscience hits you, knock it back with pills."
"Livin', lovin', she's just a woman."
A short but sweet classic.

zedavies
Advantages: one of the greatesr rock n roll albums ever Disadvantages: none
This is the second led zeppelin album and was released on 22nd of October 1969 under Atlantic records. In my opinion this is the best album they have done before I start talking about the album I will give you a little information about the band. Formed in the summer of 1968 led zeppelin consisted of the following members...
Vocals-Robert plant
Guitar-jimmy page
Bass guitar- john Paul Jones
Drums-john Bonham
jimmy page was the member that put ... ...yard birds and then becomes led zeppelin. The name come from the who drummer Keith moon who was asked how he thought the band would do and replied "they'll go down like a led zeppelin" and the rest as they say was history.
Track listing
1. Whole lotta love (10/10)

Sublime Rock Review ofLed Zeppelin II (Vinyl Replica Edition) [Digipak] [Remastered] - Led Zeppelinby
polydeuces
Advantages: Brilliant musicinaship and trcaks Disadvantages: None
...to propose a vote for Led Zeppelins’ Whole Lotta Love’.
Used for many years as the intro music for BBCs Top Of The Pops this is one of the greatest songs of all time. After these the monopoly would still seem to be with Led Zep think Rock’n’Roll or Kashmir.
It comes from the bands second album somewhat unoriginally titled Led Zeppelin 2. I was still at school when Led Zeppelin burst onto the scene and for years I was hooked ... ...This cannot be said of Led Zeppelin 2 though. Whole Lotta Love is worth the price of the album alone and defined them as the greatest exponents of guitar rock’n’roll. However they did not confine themselves to making albums filled with rock and each album had blues and melodic soft rock as well.
Whole Lotta Love is no soft song though and is a song about sex. It is erotic rock aimed at seducing the listener. The lyrics and vocals spell ...

Advantages: It's stunningly good Disadvantages: None
...back to the Sixties, when Led Zeppelin - so named because an early critic predicted (wrongly) that they would "fall like a Lead Zeppelin" - were about to release their second album - the debatably correctly titled "Led Zeppelin 2".
My friend Henry introduced me to this album about two months ago, and since then it has barely left my CD player. It starts brilliantly, with the majestic "Whole Lotta Love", which features such lyrical gems as "Swing ... ...the lemon, of course - and the triumphant Moby Dick.
All in all, it's a stunning album. If you think IV is good, you'll be amazed by this, which is, in my opinion, Led Zepp's best album. As has been said many times, music would be different without them. ...
