Led Zeppelin is a band I ignored for a long time. Stairway to Heaven was overplayed and honestly never something that caught my interest when I was growing up. As I got older and started to appreciate classic rock more, I still never gave them too much of a shot, until one day I gave Led Zeppelin II a solid listen and was blown away. They were much more bluesy than I anticipated, and the licks and riffs that Jimmy Page played was fantastic. They're still a band I have to be in the mood to listen to, but when I do I love every second. Their later albums fall off, but I still enjoyed all of them to some degree and always found something to love.

Best Starting Point:
Led Zeppelin IV. It has a great mix of everything - while Stairway to Heaven is still overplayed, it truly is a great song. Black Dog starts off with great hard rock riffs, and Misty Mountain Hop veers almost into a pop rock territory. It's a culmination of music and the best they've put out, while being more polished than a lot of their other work. Highly recommend!
