Amazon.co.uk Review
One of the few truly bigger-than-life rock bands, Led Zeppelin continues to cast a giant shadow over contemporary rock two decades after the group's break-up. The slickly packaged set offers a solid introduction to the band's work, with two discs of remastered, sonically upgraded album tracks, plus a third disc of interviews with surviving band members Jimmy Page, Robert Plant and John Paul Jones. Hearing all these Zep classics--"Stairway to Heaven", "Whole Lotta Love", "Dazed and Confused", "Rock and Roll", "Kashmir", "Immigrant Song", "Black Dog" "Good Times Bad Times", "Heartbreaker", "Houses of the Holy" and "The Song Remains the Same"--assembled in one package is an impressive testament to the group's pervasive influence. --Scott Schinder

Customer Reviews

Don't buy this, buy all the albums
This is a supreme greatest hits collection it has to be said, featuring all the famous Zeppelin songs such as "Stairway to Heaven" and "Whole lotta love" but I really do suggest buying all the other albums as they are very cheap these days. By buyingthis, you miss out so many classics songs which couldn't fit on this album such as "When the levee breaks", "Bring it on home" and "Moby dick" are just few examples of what people miss out on by purchasing this album, the latter which proves Bonham was the and still is the greatest rock drummer of all time. You lose the greta feel of all the albums with this so i suggest you buy the DVD and all the albums and discover in the best way possible why Zeppelin were the best band of all time and not many bands have come even close

If you have ears - buy this.
12 years of Led Zeppelin all squashed into 2 discs. Not everything brilliant they did is included here but that would need to be a 10 disc set. It is an excellent introduction to the band or for a casual listener, an excellent "Greatest Hits" Album. I would think that most people will buy this and then seek out more Zeppelin. Truly the best band ever.

What's the point?
If you've stopped on this page long enough to read a review, I'm going to assume you're not a hardcore Led Zep fan who already has every single album. So I'm writing this review for you guys.

Instead of simply reviewing the band like some people who've given five stars seem to have done, I'm going to review what the point of someone who has no Led Zep CDs buying this CD.

Almost none.

I can understand why this was not called the "Best Of Led Zep". It's missing "Moby Dick" and "When The Levee breaks". Two songs that I definitely consider to be in the top ten Zeppelin tracks. There's some really good stuff on the first disk here, including Immigrant Song, Heartbreaker, Black Dog, Stairway to Heaven. There's also Whole Lotta Love, which I'm sure you'll recognise. We'll ignore the dislike I have for the middle section of that particular song, there's inventiveness and there's good songwriting, the two aren't always the same.

The second disk, I didn't really like so much, but someone must, or they wouldn't have put it in would they?

Ok, so if you buy this double CD as your first Led Zep CD, what do you get? You get an introduction to a fair portion of Led Zep material, but some gaping omissions and some strange choices in the track listing. You also get an incentive not to buy the individual albums: the feeling that you're buying half the tracks on each of the first four albums twice. Surely it must be cheaper to just buy the first four albums? So, essentially, of the group of people who don't have a single Led Zep album, the only people who should consider this as a candidate to become their first Led Zep CD are the people who are either (a) Strapped for cash and unable to find any other retrospective collections, and (b) People who aren't really sure whether they are going to like the band. I'm going to go slightly against popular opinion here by not suggesting that no one on the planet should fit into that category. Some people just don't like overly experimental rock music of inconsistent quality. Don't get me wrong though, whenever Zeppelin were onto a good song they were onto a very good song.

As a final thought, I'd just like to say "What's the point?" for two reasons: Firstly, what's the point in anyone who doesn't fit into the two previously mentioned categories buying this cd as their first Led Zep purchase? Secondly, what was the point for the record company in releasing this CD without Moby Dick and When The Levee Breaks? Surely they could have taken off one of the tracks on the second disk and shoved them in there somewhere?
