As Basil Bunting wrote about Ezra Pound's Cantos, "There are the Alps... you will have to go a long way round/if you want to avoid them." Led Zeppelin's work is the central fact of 1970s rock & roll; in its loving homage to and shameless piracy from the blues, its glorious and wretched excess, its transformation of hippie and folk-rock graces into a foundation-shaking kaboom, and its offhanded myth-making, the band turned everything caught in its wake into a reaction to it--or against it. The three non-album tracks the box includes are grace notes rather than lost jewels, but the point of the set is to be a Rosetta stone of album rock, the stairway to a gaudy paradise that they constructed. --Douglas Wolk

I'm of an age such that I was growing up (early adolescence) when most of Led Zeppelin's albums were released; they (along with many other "giants" of that era) provided the soundtrack to my life during the mid- to late-'70s.
I've had two or three of the albums on LP or cassette, but never got the whole series, start to finish, until a year or so ago. I don't have top-of-the line audio equipment, so the issues mentioned elsewhere don't affect me as much, though I'll take that into account should I ever get a high-end system. The sound in this set suits me fine, and I find that it actually sounds just as good in the car (I try to keep the windows up in that case! Don't want to lose any of that Led Zep BOOM!) as it does inside my house.
Until there's a complete set on SACD, HD-CD, or whatever format replaces the compact disc, this set will do fine.

Who dosen't like Led Zeppelin? Really, who? I once knew a co-worker who said he couldn't stand Robert Plant's voice, and I guess that could be somewhat understandable if you're focusing on the band's latter years when Plant got a bit whinny. But I'm sure Mr. Brian Alandar (that was his name) couldn't argue with Plant's incredible register climb near the end of "How Many More Times," the song that closed the group's debut album. That small section alone confirms Plant's vocal prowess and justifies his position as one of rock's greatest singers! As for me being a fan of the group, I had been away from a large portion of the band's catalog for MANY years. In junior high, Zeppelin ranked only second to The Beatles for me and I played my cassette collection to death. I could sing every Zep tune just like I could The Beatles, and that shows how much a certain group means to me! All these years later, I thought it was time to get reacquainted with the band's albums back to front and what better way than to just lay down my hard earned cash on this incredible set!
This 10-disc box set (9 studio albums with 1975's "Physical Grafitti" being a double) will, most likely, forever remain the best purchase to get an instant Zep collection. With the latest "Mothership" collection garnering more attention than it should and a new set of remasters probally waiting in the wings for 2009, fans shouldn't get their eyes clouded with pixie dust. There is no "outdating" to this ... Read More

Maybe you hated Led Zeppelin in the 70s--your boyfriend played "Stairway to Heaven" on his guitar so many times you wanted to El Kabong him with it. Or maybe you were the boyfriend plucking out those first sad, tender notes of "Stairway to Heaven." Or maybe you don't even remember Led Zeppelin, you weren't born, or you were in the library reading Jonathon Livingston Seagull while your older brother listened to Led Zeppelin. No matter what you were doing back then, you will likely find that you love these songs now. They were considered "heavy" back then. I assure you, they don't sound that way today. I can't stop listening.
