Reviews
Considered as one of the most influential records, Led Zeppelin II also became famous for its blues-rock riffs. It may be quite different from its predecessor but it showcases new styles to keep their records fresh. Highly recommended for solid rock and roll fanatics. --Raine 24 January 2007 24:30 PDT
