The third studio album from a band that needs no introduction. The recording was done almost entirely in a tiny Welsh cottage, where the band evolved from their early sound into a more folk-inspired acoustic sound to show that they weren't just another rock band. The critical reaction at the time was mixed, but the album has grown to become a touchstone of the genre that was certified 6x platinum by 1999.

Bandmates Jimmy Page, John Bonham, Robert Plant, and John Paul Jones created an empire of titanic guitar rock, drawing deeply from the blues driven by Bonham's heavy hand and Page's quirky riffs. Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1995, the Mighty Zep has had all nine of their studio albums chart in the top 10, much to the delight of hard and classic rock fans the world over. Hammer of the gods, indeed.
