I think they might be my new Pearl Jam..
not that they'll become my new fave band, PJ has that spot forever, but I've got the same feeling that I got when I first started listening to PJ. like, every new song I hear gets me all excited and happy cause I can't believe how good they all are and stuff.
I'm only a beginner, only OWN the Mothership thingie (the version with the DVD) but will start working on getting the albums as soon as I've got money.
should I go for the order they're released in or other?
also, I know there's one book about Led Zep.. (Hammer of the Gods?) are there any more?
haha, if you've got some tips or just general praise, go ahead!

when i first got in to them i thought they were the greatest but i quickly got bored with them and now i think, outside of their pure talent, they are one of the most overrated bands to reach the legendary label. i usually almost skip their songs when they pop up on my mp3 player and thats only once every few days.
Just get the 10-CD box set that has all of their albums in it, and listen to them in order. You'll only pay half as much in the long run. I think I paid $75 for it when it was brand new.
sensual..caressing mind, body, soul.
Oh yeah and go for III or IV to start
Get them all and learn about how they are still loved today and can create 20,000000 worth of mayhem when doing one gig.
I've heard sales figures of 250-300 million albums. At some point one has to question the "overrated" labeling. I think something has to be that good to sell that many copies. I think Led Zeppelin is "that good". No 2 albums really sound like eachother. If the money is there, go for the box. If not, go for Physical Graffiti first because Mothership, which you have, has relatively little Physical Graffiti on it, so you'll get a lot of unheard stuff for less money.
piss off!
I think I found III from the library yesterday. haven't had a chance to listen to it yet though - I'm a busy woman (read: I'm at work and forgot the CD home).
unless I get incredibly rich incredibly soon I'm gonna have to use the albums-one-by-one -solution. think I'll start from the first. or then just go for them in the order I find them.
thanks for the advice. I love the fact that you're trying to save my money.

then suddenly he says that he's got an extra copy of the 4th album and that he could just give that to me! I asked him if he was serious which he was and then the next day when he returned the movies he dropped the CD by aswell. *happyhappy*
the thing is, I have NO money whatsoever to put into ANY albums by ANY bands right now. so I'll continue with this whatever-I-can-get-my-hands-onto-whenever-I-can -technique.
Eddie: Dublin & London
oh yes, it's faaabulous.
though I've been listening to Presence a lot these past few days.. and wow. Achilles Last Stand and Nobody's Fault But Mine being my fave songs. well, along with Tea for One, which pretty much breaks my heart every time. but it's a good hurt that one.
well.. I fell in love with IV the first time I listened to it. I hadn't really taken a liking to When the Levee Breaks before, but when I heard it on it's rightful place on the album it dawned on me what a great track it actually is!
also, I didn't particularly love III at first.. but then I gave it a few spins a couple nights ago and WOW is all I can say!

EDIT: ok, I guess it's pretty silly to say 'Robert's son's band'.. I've seen the band Logan Plant sings in!

I saw Page & Plant back in '98? At the Gorge. It was mindblowing. Jimmy teasing us with the first little bit of Stairway....
Mojo
thanks for that. I can't watch the vid where I am right now (at work) but definitely know the song! and love it!
I've actually got all the albums now, just haven't gotten around to giving them all a "proper" listening to yet.
lol. that's a nice comparison, but I must say that finding God wins the race, not by much, but still.
screw Hammer of the Gods. You need all the albums before you can worry about something like that....though it is a fun read.
