Product Description

'Mothership' is a collection of songs by one of the greatest and most influential hard rock bands of all time. Led Zeppelin's sound is hard to label within one particular genre; Jimmy Page's enigmatic guitar-playing style varies from psychedelic blues to machine-gun heavy metal; John Paul Jones andJohn Bonham provide the multi-layered rhythmic backbone; while Robert Plant's distinctive, powerful vocals bring an element of soul to the group. The band's eight studio albums are all represented here, with 'Whole Lotta Love', 'Stairway To Heaven' and 'Kashmir' examples of stand out tracks, thoughit's difficult to find one that isn't.

Customer Reviews

Great collection, with one small but...
A great collection of songs from Led Zep. However, I would personally liked to have had more from III - where are friends and tangerine?

A very impressive and entertaining introduction.
I had heard of Led Zeppelin but apart from 'Stairway to Heaven' did not know their music. I must admit, I always found the song I knew to be rather boring. I am first and foremost a country music fan who also likes Springsteen, Young, Seger, Dire Straits etc. I say all this because this is not a review from a Led Zeppelin fan as such, just a music fan. Why did I buy this?! I was given Plant and Krauss's superb album and was impressed by Plant's voice. I went to see Uncle Earl whose last album was produced by John Paul Jones and he performed at the show. I also read the praise the group and this collection was getting so I thought I would give it a go. I am pleased I did. It is a thoroughly entertaining 2 CD set of rock hard and soft with numerous outstanding performances. I was particularly impressed with Whole Lotta Love, Immigrant Song, Black Dog, When the levee breaks and Trampled Under Foot. I was even impressed with Stairway to Heaven. Great singing, great musicianship, great songs and rock music at its best. A great introduction to a group that appears to deserve its legendary status. I can see me buying more of their albums. Recommended.

The Gods Of Rock
I would just like to put in some very minor abuse for those who still, after all these years, cannot appreciate Led Zeppelin's music. Girls Aloud? WHAT??? If you need uplifting, listen to the entire song. Just lie back, turn up the stereo, and let Jimmy Page and Robert Plant tickle your spine as you air-guitar your way through Babe I'm Gonna Leave You or when the Levee Breaks...Led Zeppelin are, in my fairly unbiased 19-year-old view of modern music, still the most gifted and influential musicians on the planet. The Original and Best Rockers, brought back to modern taste with this brilliant remastering. Listen Loud, and Listen Hard.
