John Bonham, John Paul Jones, Jimmy Page and Robert Plant came together in 1968 as Led Zeppelin.

Their songs are some of the most celebrated in rock n roll history that, to this day, resonate with fans young and old around the globe. Still, no matter how many times you may have listened to their music, you ve never heard Led Zeppelin like this before.With the 2014 release of deluxe editions of Led Zeppelin, Led Zeppelin II, & Led Zeppelin III , the band will launch an extensive reissue program of all nine of its studio albums in chronological order, each remastered by guitarist and producer Jimmy Page. Following the whirlwind success of their first two albums and near constant touring, Page and Plant took to the now famous Bron-Yr-Aur cottage in Wales in 1970 to start the early composition of Led Zeppelin III . They later convened with Bonham and Jones for rehearsals before entering London s Olympic Studios to begin recording in May 1970. Fueled by classic tracks such as &34;Immigrant Song&34; and &34;Since I ve Been Loving You, &34; the album soared to the top of charts worldwide upon its release in October of 1970 and has since been certified 6x platinum. Led Zeppelin continues to be honored for its pivotal role in music history. The band was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1995, received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2005, and a year later was awarded with the Polar Music Prize in Stockholm. Founding members Jones, Page and Plant along with Jason Bonham, the son of John Bonham took the stage at London s O2 Arena in 2007 to headline a tribute concert for Ahmet Ertegun, a dear friend and Atlantic Records founder. The band was honored for its lifetime contribution to American culture at the Kennedy Center Honors in 2012. In January of 2014, the band won their first ever Grammy award as Celebration Day, which captured their live performance at the Ertegun tribute concert, was named Best Rock Album. Review: このアルバム、大学時代の友人たちは皆口を揃えて悪しく語っていた。自分はこのアルバムには好きな曲が沢山あって好きである。でも不思議な音楽が入っているのは間違いない。ちょっと他では聴けない曲がある。そのユニークさが自分にはたまらない魅力として感じる。 Review: I would not be exactly what you would refer to as a rock genre listener. However, I remembered this album Led Zeppelin III fondly and amicably. Realizing this was possibly one of three rock albums I actually liked, I purchased it, without any regret. Although this album was released in 1970, it would fill a gap for that year in my own music collection. Why? It is a very good album and it has stood the test of time. That takes quality of production and generally and esoteric quality of lyric content. However, the music also is experimental and really shows through [after their first two albums]. I think their fourth album is a little bit pedestrian in comparison; but that is only an opinion. The band really put a great effort into making this album. I for one, am grateful that they did. 4/5 stars for quality and content. Well done!
