'Led Zeppelin' is the debut album of the English rock band Led Zeppelin. It was recorded in October 1968 at Olympic Studios in London and released on Atlantic Records on 12 January 1969 in the United States and 31 March 1969 in the United Kingdom. The album featured integral contributions from each of the group's four musicians and established Led Zeppelin's fusion of blues and rock. Led Zeppelin also created a large and devoted following for the band, with their take on the emerging heavy metal sound endearing them to a section of the counterculture on both sides of the Atlantic.

Although the album initially received negative reviews, it was commercially very successful and has now come to be regarded in a much more positive light by critics. In 2003, the album was ranked number 29 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.

WMG sucks for removing videos... But I completely understand why, but not for this song, no sir! WMG is Warner Music Group, if you didn't know... This is a song that is for everybody! And everybody should hear it! Even though I understand what their purpose is... I will still fight for this song to be heard through generations. Also when I found that the original video got blocked, I didn't felt it was my duty to do another video, I didn't want to take all the views (I don't care), it's just I wanted other people to hear its beauty! New people! Look, I was born in 1992 and then I found nothing interesting about music in my early age! Everyone was listening to rap and hip-hop, and I just kinda dig it (only the talented and true-hearted rap songs were good, most rap songs I didn't like), but then when I had my own computer hooked <b>...</b>

4.60 min. | 4.97 user rating		 Heartbreaker by Led Zeppelin with Lyrics. From Mothership album Lyrics: Hey fellas, have you heard the news? You know that annies back in town? It wont take long just watch and see How the fellas lay their money down. Her style is new but the face is the same As it was so long ago, But from her eyes, a different smile Like that of one who knows. Well, its been ten years and maybe more Since I first set eyes on you; The best years of my life gone by, Here I am alone and blue. Some people cry and some people die By the wicked ways of love; But Ill just keep on rollin along With the grace of the lord above. People talkin all around bout the way you left me flat, I dont care what the people say, I know where their jive is at. One thing I do have on my mind, if you can clarify please do, Its the way you call me by another guys name when I try to make love to you! I try to make love but it aint no use. Give it to me, give it! (guitar solo) Work so hard I couldnt unwind, Get some money saved; Abuse my love a thousand times, However hard I tried. Heartbreaker, your time has come, Cant take your evil way; Go away, Heartbreaker. Heartbreaker!
