Editorial Review: Product Description: No Description Available No Track Information Available Media Type: CD Artist: LED ZEPPELIN Title: LED ZEPPELIN 2 Street Release Date: 06/21/1994 Genre: ROCK/POP Amazon.com essential recording: Riff rock had been what Jimmy Page's former band, the Yardbirds, were all about, and on Led Zeppelin's second album, released, like its predecessor, in 1969, the inventive guitarist demonstrated that he'd indeed learned his lessons well. Witness "Whole Lotta Love," a woozy epic based on one simple, head-banging-friendly guitar riff. Or the mock-dramatic "Heartbreaker," propelled by far more intricate but similarly effective note squashing. Between Page's sonic wizardry, John Bonham beating his drums into submission ("Moby Dick"), and the juice running down Robert Plant's leg ("The Lemon Song"), Led Zeppelin here just about succeeded in raising rock & roll excess to an art form. --Billy Altman Amazon.com: Led Zeppelin II is an album of Jimmy Page riffs so huge, and John Paul Jones/John Bonham rhythms so deep, that the heavy metal genre this classic helped create has tried for decades to catch up, mostly without success. And no wonder: since II catches the band before they'd headed too far into their ridiculous medieval fancies, this might be as good as Zep would ever be. Regardless, the thunderous "Whole Lotta Love," a Top 5 hit, and "Bring It on Home" are very nearly as fierce and twisted as British white blues would ever get. --David Cantwell Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - John Paul Jones fans unite!For those of you out there who think that John Paul Jones was the most talented member of the Zeppelin - and yes, I am one of those people - you need to listen to this album as fast as possible. The bass playing here is his best ever, I think. I'd hesitate to call the album brilliant, but it's pretty close. I want to say this is my second favorite Zeppelin album after Houses of the Holy, but as I've said in previous reviews, Zeppelin's first four albums are all more or less equally good. And hey, how about those bass lines? On the dirty blues jam "Lemon Song" and the half-ballad, half-rockers "What is and What Should Never Be" (which also is Plant at his best - his vocals are sensual, and his ad-libbing during the fadeout is incredibly ... Read More: Rating:  - 5 or nothingHow can anyone give this album less than 5 stars? This is Led Zeppelin at their best. Every song on the album is a hit. Rating: - Remains to this day my all-time favorite Zep albumLed Zeppelin's second record 'Led Zeppelin II' was released in 1969, just a few months after their debut 'Led Zeppelin I' came out. The record was apparently written and recorded in just three days. Most bands need up to six months to write a record full of decent material. But not Zeppelin. Three days was all it took. Songs like 'Whole Lotta Love,' 'Heartbreaker,' and even 'What Is And Should Never Be' are classic rock radio staples. And, in 1994, Atlantic digitally remastered this. The sound quality is superb! If you are a fan of the blues, listen in for songs like 'The Lemon Song' and 'Bring It On Home.' Those songs were heavily influenced by Delta Blues. Plant's vocals are mighty fine. Overall, ...
