50 years ago, Led Zeppelin released their self-titled debut. Their sophomore effort followed just a handful of months later -- taking them from nearly unknown session players to a hard rock powerhouse. But when the band shifted from their blues influence towards folk for Led Zeppelin III, a luke-warm response from fans and critics threatened their rise.
Their success was being attributed to hype and aggressive marketing campaigns. In protest, Zeppelin would move away from the standard -- if not necessary way of selling records. Their fourth album would be left untitled and the band’s name, absent from the cover. Instead, mysterious sigils appeared -- one for each member of the group. They would strip everything away in order to let the music speak for itself.
They would have to push their creative limits in order to progress -- experimenting with new production techniques and instruments. Guitarist Jimmy Page swore their fourth album would be their best. If it wasn’t, they’d give up and retire. What followed was one of the most iconic rock albums ever made. Setting Led Zeppelin on a path towards becoming legends of rock and roll.
-------------------------------
Led Zeppelin FAQ
Where was Led Zeppelin 4 recorded? Where was Led Zeppelin IV recorded?
Led Zeppelin's fourth album was recorded at Headley Grange in Hampshire, England.
When did Led Zeppelin 4 come out? What year did Led Zeppelin IV released?
November 8, 1971
What do the Led Zeppelin 4 symbols mean?
The feather of Ma’at, Egyptian goddess of justice and fairness encompassed within a circle. The emblem of a writer, belonged to none other than Robert Plant. The Borromean rings, depicting man, woman and child resided with John Bonham. A celtic knot portrayed a person both confident and competent was chosen by John Paul Jones. Finally, Zoso. Designed by Page himself, it wasn’t intended to be a word at all. It’s meaning remains a complete mystery.
Why was Led Zeppelin IV called zoso?
The band's name and title were left off the album. The only things left were the symbols the group created. Page's Zoso was the only one that appeared to form a word and it just stuck.
How many copies of Led Zeppelin 4 have been sold?
Led Zeppelin IV has sold over 23 millions copies in North America. With 37 million copies sold worldwide.
Is Led Zeppelin IV the best album ever?
That's for you to decide. It's arguably the group's best record.

    Yeah, I like 3 a lot. Probably more than I like 1 and 2--though 2 is a more powerful album. Yeah, they went a little deep in the folk tunes--but you can't really knock an album that birthed Immigrant Song and Since I've Been Loving You. And I like that they showed they didn't have to rely on volume and overdrive...

    @@Ethan_Brant Why not Physical Graffiti? To me its just an easy #1. Its not often that double albums wouldnt benefit with a little trimming down (Beatles White album for example). PG doesnt have a weak link and it has such a sprawling array of styles and of course more songs than any other album. Its their high water mark creatively in my opinion too. If I could only ever listen to one ever again it would be PG. Hard to pick number #2 though. Either III, IV or HoTH.

    The 1st time I heard Led Zeppelin was in 1969. We had a convenience store in the neighborhood and I believe I was only around 12 years old. They had a wire basket there that was full of 45 rpm records with holes melted through them. I'll never forget it living loving maid was on one side and whole lotta love on the other. They hit my generation of kids like a steamroller. I was already experimenting with the guitar. And what an influence they were. I still play guitar today and I'm 62. Thanks to all the members of Led Zeppelin for doing what they did. I also listen to them to this day. And will till the day I die.

    I remember when LZ4 was first released. I was a senior in high school and already a huge Zep fan. Stairway and Misty Mountain blew me away, but it did not take long before the entire album got played over and over and over and over on 8-track tape. Too difficult to pick just one favorite from LZ4 or the entire catalog. Four is definitely the overall favorite album.
