Led Zeppelin II is the second studio album by the English rock band Led Zeppelin, released on this day in 1969. With elements of blues and folk music, the album also exhibits the band's evolving musical style of blues-derived material and their guitar and riff-based sound. It has been described as the band's heaviest album.
Upon release, Led Zeppelin II sold well and was the band's first album to reach #1 in the UK and the US. It has been certified 12x Platinum by the RIAA for sales in excess of 12 million copies. Since its release, writers and music critics have regularly cited it in polls of the greatest and most influential rock albums.
Even though all songs from the album get airplay on classic rock stations, only two of them actually charted, with "Whole Lotta Love" peaking at #4 on the US charts, and "Living Loving Maid (She's Just a Woman)" reaching only #65.
