Trying to get into Led Zepplin, where do I start?

Ok I know there is some Led Zepplin fans here, and I'm trying to get into them, want to start listening to their music.

But I don't want to do that until I get to know what are some songs I should listen to first to warm me up to their sound, and what not.

Get the best of album. Or better yet, iTunes has EVERY album, buy the complete pack. You got a lot of songs, it is Led Zeppelin (they have a lot of good song), and all your friends will think you are really cool. The last part isn't an exaggeration because everyone worships Zeppelin. Everybody.

Get the best of album.

Stairway to Heaven for the more mellow / regular sound buid-up and Immigrant Song for their more regular sound.

Edit: Michael Winslow also does a nice parody version of Immigrant Song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31kdfa_iCis

Edit 2: Actually it's the first 'vocal' part of Immigrant Song, but the rest of it is a parody of Whole Lotta Love - another great song.
- Mothership is the latest Greatest Hits album to come out.

i doubt if you havent liked them now you never will but you should try listening to black dog its one of my favourites

I suggest starting with the first album, Led Zeppelin, and then going in order.

Though, if you don't want to listen to all of them, I suggest at least listening to Physical Graffiti, and Led Zeppelin III-IV.

I would strongly suggest looking at the track list of a Greatest Hits album and then listening to those songs on Youtube. Why spend the money?

Immigrant Song = the greatest thing you have ever listened to by Zeppelin and ever will. A definite must. If this doesn't get you into Zeppelin, there's no hope for you.

"Come from the land of the ice and snow, with the midnight sun where the hot springs blow"

I would start at Houses of the Holy. IV is a little overrated.Travo_basic

HotH is fantastic, but I personally think IV is better. You can't go wrong with HotH, though :P.

Start at the first album, and go through the 5th in order. Darth-Caedus

That works as well :P.

I agree with Physical graffiti.

I'm surprised that I seem to be in the minority here, but I'd say II is the best one to start at. IMO, easily their best all the way through. I, III, and IV have good songs, but I don't thin they're as solid as II, it's been a while but I don't think there's a single song on II I didn't like. I'd say either HotH or Physical Graffiti next. Physical Graffiti is one of their later ones, though, and while good won't give you the best indicator of the rest of their stuff.

I think one is their best, i like presence too.

infact just go listen to everything, even their last album is pretty good considering the criticism it gets.
