Led Zeppelin IV is the landmark album that solidified the band’s global rock dominance. Seamlessly blending the heavy riffs of tracks like “Black Dog” and “Rock and Roll” with the folk-inspired mysticism of “Going to California” and “The Battle of Evermore,” the untitled record (often called Four Symbols) showcases the band’s dynamic range. The epic “Stairway to Heaven” unites both styles in one of rock’s most iconic songs. From Bonham’s thunderous drumming on “When the Levee Breaks” to Page’s masterful guitar work, it remains a definitive statement of Led Zeppelin’s power and versatility.
