Remains to this day my all-time favorite Zep album
Led Zeppelin's second record 'Led Zeppelin II' was released in 1969, just a few months after their debut 'Led Zeppelin I' came out. The record was apparently written and recorded in just three days. Most bands need up to six months to write a record full of decent material.
But not Zeppelin. Three days was all it took. Songs like 'Whole Lotta Love,' 'Heartbreaker,' and even 'What Is And Should Never Be' are classic rock radio staples.
And, in 1994, Atlantic digitally remastered this. The sound quality is superb!
If you are a fan of the blues, listen in for songs like 'The Lemon Song' and 'Bring It On Home.' Those songs were heavily influenced by Delta Blues. Plant's vocals are mighty fine.
Overall, this remains my all-time favorite Zeppelin record. They are all great, but this one really stands out, in my opinion.
Highly recommended for any Zep fan. A classic masterpiece. ENJOY!!!
