Part 5/9:
Led Zeppelin released their self-titled debut album in early 1969, which immediately captivated audiences. Subsequently, they demonstrated intense work ethics, releasing four North American tours and two albums within their first year together. Their breakthrough came as they blended blues-rock and hard rock, fundamentally impacting rock music's future.
Following the success of their inaugural album, they released "Led Zeppelin II" a year later, which introduced iconic tracks like "Whole Lotta Love" and "Heartbreaker." The band maintained a pro-album stance, preferring live concert experiences over television appearances. This distinctive choice further entrenched their riveting concert reputation.
