In this episode of Bowlin’ Thru Albums, we drop the needle on Led Zeppelin’s II (1969) — the record that gave us “Whole Lotta Love” and cemented the band as hard rock pioneers.
We talk about what made this album so revolutionary, why it still holds up today, and why every vinyl collector should have it in their stack. From thunderous riffs to blues roots, this is the sound that shaped rock history.
