Led Zeppelin's fourth album
One for the rock fans, What do you call this album as it was famously untitled when released in 1971. It just contained a picture of a man with sticks and four symbols (Runes) on the side.
Now I call it Led Zeppelin IV but I have seen it called many things by others, Four Symbols, The Fourth Album, Runes and just plain Untitled.
Classic album which contains one of their best known songs, Stairway To Heaven.

And whilst 'Stairway to Heaven' may be one of their most famous songs, it isn't the best one on the album.
Yes your right. for me that honour goes to When The Levee Breaks. Bonzo's drum sound on that is immense.
I'm rather partial to the opener, Black Dog, myself.
Also, I love Going to California.
True classic album
Yes the two softer songs Going To California and The Battle of Evermore are lovely. Sandy Dennys beautiful voice on the latter one too.
Takes me back to the seventies when all was good in the world (not really but oh life was so much easier then)
It is a classic album - but so are LZ I, II and III - and Physical Grafitti. The rest of the albums are pretty good too.
I just call it Led Zep 4. I actually prefer 1 and 2.
I nominated ' Four Sticks' as probably the 'pointless' track.
In fact, 5, yes five, tracks were 'pointless'. Black Dog and Rock & Roll being just 1 point each!
Yes - I remember that well - it's the only time I've ever got 3 Pointless answers!
Four sticks, Misty Mountain Hop & When the levee breaks.
It's a sad state of affairs when Stairway is really the only track people know.
As someone stated earlier, it's not even the best one on the album. For me, that's The Battle Of Evermore.
Yes, that's what I've always known it as & how it was always referred to back in the day.
Nah - It'd have to be at least a quintuple album set to do that!
They sort of did. It's called "Physical Graffiti".
That would have been one hell of an album.
Anybody got any ideas what the bonus tracks are, there's basically nothing not released.is there, Physical Graffiti used a lot of unreleased stuff at the time.
Was always know as Led Zeppelin 4 in these parts.

I had 1, 2, 3, and 4 of their albums, but sadly lost the fourth. Might have to buy purely for the above songs.
Love most of their other stuff, so would recommend buying Mothership.
afaik, it's mostly demos and alt versions of released songs. Jimmy has said that there is nothing at all from LZI, so the bonus disc is a live show from Paris in 1969.
I'll be interested to see how much of it is stuff that we don't already have in 'unofficial' form.

Usually the fourth album, it was a bit brave at the time to release a album with no wording on the cover.
