led zeppelin (album)
in 1969, led zeppelin i was released. this was the bands' first album. plant stated that "during led zeppelin i, as far as i was concerned i thought that i was going to [leave the band] anyway. ... i was quite nervous and didn't get into enjoying it until ii." released only a few months later was the band's second album, led zeppelin ii, which many referred to as a piece-together album. the group worked on this album while on the road, so many of the songs were recorded at separate times rather than in one sitting. this album sparked much controversy due to the fact that some songs on the album, "the lemon song" and "whole lotta love", showed similarities to songs previously written by other artists. this created legal trouble for the band over whether or not they plagiarized these songs. during led zeppelin iii, which was released in 1970, page and plant's relationship began to grow stronger. the two got to know each other on a more personal level through writing the songs on this album, forming a close connection. the songs for this album were mostly created in a welsh cottage, and welsh culture was reflected in many of the songs on this album. this album sold one of the lowest numbers of copies out of all the band's albums. this was surprising to the band, but many critics argued that the songs on the album were too soft, too aggressive, or for "druggies". led zeppelin iv, released in 1971, was similar to led zeppelin iii in the mythic storytelling sense. this album included one of the band's best known songs and greatest hit, "stairway to heaven". led zeppelin iv was a huge hit and sold 37 million copies throughout the world, making it the band's best selling album. led zeppelin belonged to atlantic records and contributed to one-fourth of the profits for that record company. the band also created their own record label, swan song, in 1974-1975.
