10 Hard Rock Music Artists Who Released Two Great Albums In The Same Year
3. Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin & Led Zeppelin II
Would you look at that? Another self-titled debut album!
Seriously you lot, where's the originality?
On January 12 1969, history was made when Led Zeppelin took their first steps into the world of recorded music.
Their first album kicked off in a monumental way with the epic Good Times Bad Times. The album went from strength to strength after that, with songs like Dazed and Confused, Communication Breakdown, and How Many More Times.
So, what do you do after you put out one of the most iconic albums of all time? You put out another of the most iconic albums of all time!
Led Zeppelin II followed in October, mostly being written on the many tours the band had embarked on over the year. The album was a hodgepodge of different recording sessions and tapes, but it came out sounding terrific.
It opens with Whole Lotta Love, for crying out loud! How do you follow that? Well, with songs like Ramble On, Thank You, and Heartbreaker.
1969 not only marked the end of the sixties, but it also marked a monumental shift in the rock landscape - one that Led Zep were leading from the very front.
