This is one of the best debuts of all time. But all their albums are fire. One in a billion.

The Beatles are my favorite band ever, but Led Zeppelin sent rock music into a brand new dimension

My new favourite pastime is to watch people react to music I loved when I was in my teens.Saw them at Knebworth in 79 .GOAT.

After watching your reaction to The Beatles, I'm positive you'll really like Led Zeppelin.

When this album was released, I was in college. A friend of mine got the album and told a bunch of us, "You have to come and listen to this". We all went into his room, and our jaws dropped as we listened to this album. We thought we had died and gone to music heaven. When Led Zeppelin II came out, the same friend bought it and told us all, "You won't believe me, but this one is even BETTER". We all laughed at him, but soon we realized that he wasn't lying. And so it went with all first four albums. It was just incredibly good music with a heavy blues influence. Just listen to Robert Plant's voice. He is a blues singer. And John Bonham was one of the greatest drummers of the 20th century. Everyone in that group was an extraordinary talent.

The entire album was recorded in 7 days. Crazy. Imagine this came out while they were already on tour, and the Beatles and Beach Boys were the biggest bands on the planet. These guys brought it, nothing like it before or since. The absolute Kings.

What a ride you are on... thanks for letting us all share it with you! I came to Zeppelin in the 90s. Every generation must pass down their legacy!

Can't compare Beatles to Zep except both bands have 4 EXTREMELY talented fellows

Led Zeppelin is such an amazing band... their fifth album "houses of the holy" is, in my humble opinion, the greatest they've done and one of the greatest albums ever recorded. Those 4 guys were/are just so insanely talented and devoted to their music and instruments. It's crazy

As someone said, Led Zeppelin is the last band of the 60s and the first band of the 70s.

THIS is the greatest band to ever grace the planet! They did every genre...they were 4 greatest musicians...nobody better!

If you listen carefully, you’ll find out that “Babe I’m Gonna Leave You” sounds like “While My Guitar Gently Weeps”. They are both in the same key and share a really similar chord progression.

One of the greatest debut albums in rock history!!!!!!!! Perfection!

Love the Beatles, but I listen to LZ every day...for 60 frickin years. ❤😊

I was born 2 years later but i have to imagine if you were alive at the time and mourning the loss of the Beatles breaking up or on the verge of breaking up and you heard this album you had to say to yourself “things are gonna be ok…”

24:50 You’re so fukking right, the best white music comes from black music influences. Led Zeppelin is an amazing band tough

THE MIGHTY ZEP...... there will never be a better band. pure amazement 🤟

Just wait and see how Robert Plant owns a stage.

Man you just went down one of the greatest rabbit holes to ever fall into!! In my opinion, Led Zeppelin is 2nd, right behind The Beatles in terms of their influence, relevance and impact on music as a whole. Robert Plant is one of the greatest rock vocalist, frontman and most badass, sexy mofos to ever grace the stage!! Jimmy Page! Easily considered one of the greatest and most influential guitarist ever to pick up the axe! John Paul Jones!! Not just a genius bass player, but synth/keyboard and one of the greatest composers in rock history! And John Bonham!! Considered the “greatest drummer of all time!” Changed the game entirely with his style, his use of polyrhythms and triplets was far ahead of its time! You will remember this day for the rest of your life my guy! Excited to see you embark on this journey!

Can't go wrong with the first 3 albums. They went on growing, exploring, and maturing. IMO their peak works (my favorites) are LZ IV, Houses Of The Holy, and Physical Graffiti. For laughs you should hear the Dread Zeppelin version of "Your Time is Gonna Come."

This is one of the best debut albums from the greatest band of all time! You’re going to love it, no doubting it!

THE BEATLES - LED ZEPPELIN - PINK FLOYD. And that's ALL she wrote!

Our generation loves the Beatles AND Led Zeppelin and so many more classic bands. Really can't compare the two bands because they're so different.

Great reaction video!! The most notable reaction I took from you was how wild Jimmy page kept getting in this album. The best way I can explain this is that Jimmy was so much more talented on the guitar than any body who came before him and he wanted to show case his talents on this album, and what a job he did. That “sound” you heard on “Dazed and Confused” was actually a violin bow on his guitar. It was amazing what he was able to do on both electric and acoustic. Another thing that I want to point out is the area where they grew up in in England had a major musical influence from American Blues. Albums where brought back from shipping routes by Long shore man during the American jazz/blues period. That area of England feel in love with American Blues/jazz. From that Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Bonham, and John Paul Jones grew up playing and listening to that type of music. When they formed their own band, their love for Blues/Jazz continued. That’s why you have Songs like “You Shook Me” “I Can’t Quit You Baby” and “How Many More Times” sound similar to Blues music with added heavy focus on guitar because they wanted to give what they grew up loving a new Rock and Roll Twist. As you listen to more albums you will notice a Pattern.

Zeppelin the GREATEST ROCK BLUES band ever !

The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Traffic (hope you check them out too). The main British bands that came out in the 60's, definitely influenced by blues/R&B. Let's not forget the great Jimi Hendrix who went to England in order to become famous. Love your thoughtful reactions, Darius.

Oh my goodness! You are in for quite a ride with Led Zeppelin. The Beatles were the band that started it, Led Zeppelin changed it. Love them both.

lifeofdariius - you have big ears. You have excellent insight and good hearing. Great review.

yessss! led zeppelin is awesome!!! i subscribed after seeing your beatles reactions bc im a huge fan of them, led zeppelin is my second favorite band so i was really excited seeing this! glad u love them

Best Band EVERRRRR!!!!

Loving your reactions mad. Gotta keep working chronologically through Led Zeppelin and more Beatles! Also Dark Side of the Moon should be soon!

Beatles might be kings of pop but Zeppelin are the gods of rock. Plant and Page jump out at you now but with more listens you will appreciate the GOAT of drummers, John Bonham, and JPJ who plays bass, percussion and keys. Zeppelin 2 is similar to this album but a bit more funky...you won't be disappointed ,,,again. If you want an experience in between, listen to "Moby Dick" (an epic drum solo)from their Albert Hall performance...it will blow you away.

Really appreciating your reactions - learning who the players are, appreciating how novel these songs were for their time. Keep it up!

29:37 > got a taste there of one of greatest riffs ever created by man. Zeppelin 2 is so varied compared to this. You’ll love it. Very thoughtful guy you are. I get bored of these reactors who just do it for views. You seem to care and put effort in, which is great to see. Genuine comes to mind. New sub from 🇬🇧

can’t wait for the pet sounds reaction you’re gonna love it

So glad you are reacting to Led Zeppelin! I only recently got into The Beatles, but Led Zeppelin was my obsession when I found them in 8th grade (thanks to the fact that I watched That 70s Show haha) - so many wonderful songs and vibes, looking forward to seeing you listen to them all for the first time!

Great reaction! Zeppelin's next album, Led Zeppelin II, might as well be a "Greatest Hits" album. Just banger after banger.

Amazing!! The Mighty Led Zeppelin!! Definitely gotta do Zeppelin 2. They have some of the greatest classic rock albums of all time! Whereas the Beatles kept evolving from album to album (Abbey Road is way different from Please Please Me)..IMO I feel Zeps sound and album just continues to build off of the sound and vibe of their first album. They still grow and explore their sound and they have different types of bangers later in their catalog (like Kashmir and Nobody’s Fault But Mine) their overall vibe always kept that tension sound! Which personally I love!

"You Shook Me" is another one that I really loved after hearing the BBC sessions version.

Like the Beatles, LZ have a deep rabbit hole. You are in for a ride. They were part of the British blues movement some of that influence can also be heard on Beatles' tracks like 'Yer Blues' and 'I Want You (She's So Heavy)'. LZep were four individuals that were arguably the masters at what they did at the time. Like the Beatles, another perfect wave. Great music every album.

Best band ever in my opinion. Every song is an epic. Strap in, you are in for one hell of a ride.

Don’t sleep on John Paul johns. He’s the secret magic in zeppelin. A studio musician like jimmy but a multi-instrumentalist. He’s on bass and keyboards.

most songs on this album are blues classics reimagined (they actually got sued for plagiarism cause they did not credit the authors)

The Summer of 76.. Parents away for weekend.. Oldest brother, his friends, beer, liquor, and w33d.. One of several albums playing beginning to end at least a dozen times through that very long weekend... Led Zeppelin I. At 9, I could not appreciate my brother's music, but now that he is gone (murdered in 2014, 2 days after Christmas), I am constantly brought back to those far away, long gone days.. and wish i were so young again.

Fico tão feliz de ver pessoas escutando led zeppelin pela primeira vez.

You nailed it...this is the blues, fuzzed up, cranked up, and sped up. 😂😂😂 They do progress as their career moves along (more varied influences, but still guitar-based with Plant wailing away). But this album is a tour de force for the time. It pretty much kicked everybody's ass. 😂😂😂 Def on my "deserted island" list. LZII is as well. As is IV, and "Physical Graffiti." The others are still good albums, but these rise above other bands. I've had their albums in possibly every media format (vinyl, cassette, CD, mp3) since they were released.

Great reaction Dariius. You have now opened that can of worms that is Led Zep, you will never be able to put the lid back on the can! Please work through their catalog, some you may dislike but some will alter your life! :)

Bro I was 14 when this dropped. Been a Led Head ever since. # 1 Hard Rock Band there will ever be.

I was digging through my older cousins album, found this album, and played it over and over again during one summer. I was hooked on Zep.

This album took me 30 years to fully appreciate. There are so many facets to it. It was too much for me to digest at a young age. It's now my favourite Zep album

5:16 that slide guitar dripping with heavy reverb beginning 2 minutes and 9 seconds in on Babe I’m Gonna Leave You is still such a unique part by Page that made Zeppelin stand out from the rest.

Jimmy page the greatest guitarist ever

I came to your channel from the white album videos and your videos are so high quality. So thank you for your videos.

beatles are the greatest, zep is the best. most well put together band ever for sure.

You've listened to the GOAT !!!!! Enjoy your dive into their Rabbit Hole. 💥💥💥👍😎 Psychedelic Blues,,,👍🤪

I am a fan of both these bands from the 60' & 70's. I grew up on this and as a true fan of both bands I know you can't compare 2 different styles of music. Both are genious.

24:25 (R&B/blues/black influence) Very perceptive! You got it exactly right - and that's the significance of the British Invasion. The white kids in the segregated 1950s weren't exposed to the essential music of black artists (blues, R&B, etc such as Robert Johnson) due to middle class racism. Meanwhile British kids in the 50's could more easily hear those artists and were heavily influenced by the blues/R&B. As young adults in the 60's, that whole generation of Brits had a very different, more soulful vibe, which they exported back to the US as the British Invasion. That was fortunate, but at the same time it was sad that Led Zeppelin, the Beatles, the Stones, etc. had to reintroduce white middle America to its own rich heritage.

Dude I want to see you go through the whole history of rock music. It makes me so happy seeing someone hearing this stuff for the first time. Can't wait to see you get to 70s punk rock and 80s/90s alternative rock like Pixies, MBV, Nirvana, Pumpkins. Before you leave the 60s though you MUST experience Hendrix. Electric Ladyland is an all-time classic. But from where you are now, Ziggy Stardust, Raw Power, Never Mind the Bollocks.... that'll get you where you're going..

You must watch some of their live stuff, Madison square garden 1973 is probably their best,it will show you just how amazing and talented all four of these boys were,best rock band ever!!😊😊

Young friend, that was one helluva first dive!!!

That’s only their first album 😂 keep going man you will only regret not doing it sooner!

Check out the negative side of love with Five Long Years Steve Marriott live 1985 and his work with Humble Pie song suggestion Black Coffee

My man…set up a Patreon. Would love to see the full reaction. Loving your journey

Led Zep along with Pink Floyd and Iron Maiden are my Holy Rock Trinity. Led Zep is a genre unto itself and has a tune for many moods. Everything folk, blues, rock, ballads. all fire.

LZ2 is gonna be further development of the “hard blues rock, which is wonderful, If you looking for the more laidback zep, LZ3 is gonna be where you find that except for the first track, LZ 4 has a more muddled vibe due to a transition phase but is full of bangers, I would describe it as “intriguing and interesting”, HotH is beautiful, just beautiful, and then you get to Physical Graffiti, if I’m to make a prediction your gonna really fall in love with this band, once someone does a deep dive of the, it’s hard to come back out the same, cheers bro

Next check out their second album Led Zeppelin II and this time don't use genius, because it can take away some of the surprises the tracks sometimes have in them in tempo changes. I would say that for Led Zeppelin the experience is not primarily in the lyrics; it's in the music. Another tip: Try to pick up on how amazingly well John Bonham is on the drums. It may take a second listen, but in the realm of drumming he is as impressive as Jimmy Page is on the guitar and Robert Plant is with singing :)

It's all the blues brother. Everything that's good is the blues.

Black mountain side is a crucial element to this debut album, setting up a direction to future master pieces such as Kashmir.

What a great video. Really entertaining! Cant Wait for you to go down the 60s/70/s Rock and roll rabit hole. Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The doors, Black Sabbath, Jimi Hendrix, just to begin with... There are so many great albums an songs on this era

You rock yourself, Darius

Great choice for introduction to the greatest band of all time.

24:09 The transition here from that song (I can't quit you) to this song right here *how many more times), play it thru because its a brilliant transition on the album

You will find with led Zeppelin 9 out of 10 songs are about the women in their lives. The heartaches, the loves the pleasures and the misery. Brought to you with hard rock blended smoothly with the blues.

On to LZII !

“Babe I’m Gonna Leave You” is a cover of a folk song.

Most LZ fans pick “Led Zepplin IV” as their best LP. “Led Zeppelin introduced me to the band in 1969. The best LZ LP. Blues, Soul, Hard Rock, Psychedelic, Metal.

This album just entirely shook up the music scene when it dropped on the scene! One of the best, most influential debut albums of all time. The only band whose debut album that was equally as impactful is Boston. The Beatles ruled the '60s, Zeppelin dominated the '70s, and then Boston dropped a hell of an album to close out the decade and usher in the '80s. What a time to be alive.

Dude I love XXXTentacion too! But I grew up listening to Led Zeppelin. I still remember the time this album truly hit me. I was only 13 and it took a few listens but something compelled me to give it more listens until it eventually warped my mind and soul and played a huge part in who I am today.

The first few Zeppelin albums are basically god-tier immitations. Half the time they're immitating black blues, the other half they're imitating European folk music. Wait til you get to Led Zeppelin IV and Houses of the Holy, where they've mastered their OWN sound.

Beatles Zep Stones The Who

listen to The Doors first album! you will not regret it and will want to hear more!

The Beatles is a great foundation for rock appreciation. If you have manage to listen to every Beatles Album, that makes you officially a fan. And you graduate to General Rock Fan. Grats. Appreciate what was, and what is no longer. And yes you are right, It is a little one note, but it was a debut over 50 years ago

You have to listen to - When The Levy Breaks! You wont be disappointed!

Would love to see you react to JanisJoplin's 'Cheap Thrills' album (1968). One of the greatest female vocalists/rock/blues stars of all time. Tragically died at the age of 27.

your not talking about the bass player, John Paul Jones. He plays keyboards too and organ. And Bonham hits the drum incredibly hard.

Hey, would really reccomend that u listen/react to the single version of revolution 1, its much more explosive and is in my opinion the much better version.

concerning lyrics of '60s rock songs: most of the time we couldn't understand most of them and we never knew for sure (no internet/no google) until/unless the lyrics were printed somewhere on the album cover, so not knowing what they're about is actually truer to the '60s experience

if you want a more laid back led zeppelin-esk sound, check out Jeff Buckley's grace its a very ethereal/rocky sounding album and I think you'll like it

Enjoyed this bro 👍

Okay if Crazy Train is what got you into Rock music, you gotta listen to Black Sabbath soon (Ozzy Osbourne who sings Crazy Train in 1980 is the vocalist in Sabbath). It's kind of the logical continuation of Led Zep, their first two albums were released in 1970 and they're the first Heavy Metal band; Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, and Deep Purple were the "Unholy Trinity" of Rock.

Beatles, Led Zeppelin ....if you want to listen tobthe GOATs you have to add King Crimson, The Who, Pink Floyd, Can and Neu!, Radiohead and Beck (not Jeff Beck, but Beck Hansen, known as Beck) Great channel, i enjoy it so much! Sorry for my bad written english! Greetings from Sicily (Italy)

The greatest hard rock band ever.. enjoy.

The engineer is Glyn Johns. Check out his resume. He’s a “through thread”

Great reaction. Keep going with Led Zep. Then, try Jimi Hendrix - Purple Haze, All Along the Watchtower and Voodoo Chile. Then, Rolling Stones Gimmie Shelter, etc....

Rock is the Blues played Fast and Loud

You should react to Beach Boys Today and Pet Sounds. You’ll really appreciate them with your love for Beatles harmonies.

Much like The Beatles, every Zeppelin album went to #1. They were monsters all through the 70s

you've GOT to watch live performances by these guys because it's so much more powerful

Dazed and Confused is 🔥🔥🔥 Please react to the entire song, it will leave you dazed and confused 😂😂 The weird sounds you hear on the guitar is Jimmy playing it with a violin bow
