Band Name Origins:
- They were told their band was gonna go up like a lead Zeppelin, which won't go up very well at all. They changed the lead into led so Americans wouldn't pronounce it "leed" zeppelin Submitted by: Spike
- The John Entwhistle/Keith Moon joke supergroup explanation is reputedly the correct one, but it was Led Zeppelin's manager Peter Grant who took out the "a" to avoid promoters mispronouncing the name as "leed". Submitted by: Mark T

Better Off Solo?:
Name | New Career | Comments & Submitter Name |
| "Robert Plant" | "As much as I love Led Zeppelin, Robert Plant's true uncompromising heart and emotions never shined through the wall of loud drums and guitars as much as they ended up doing when Zep broke up and Plant went solo. There's a strange and beautiful "mysticism" present in Plant's solo music that seems absent in the tunes of Zep. (Although I will admit that Zep's music had a mysticism all it's own! Just in a "rock band" sense...) Listening to Robert Plant is like listening to Zep with any last air of youthful foolishness and pretentiousness stripped away. The term "an artist who has matured" seems to be misused on those who have gone the way of selling out to pop culture and writing sappy ballads, but Robert Plant stands as one of the only artists to whom the aforementioned phrase actually rings true." | - Kirk Bradford Myers |

| "Boogie with Stu" | Had they used Valens' original title of "Ooh, my head," they might have made that work. - Alan the Ottoman |
| "Trampled Underfoot" | Yeah, the band seems to be "talkin' 'bout love" rather than saying the title. - Alan the Ottoman |

Why They're Funny: I don't know that this lyric is funny, but I think that it could have another meaning aside from he wants to do her up the butt. Maybe he wants to be her secret lover and slip out the back door. She might have a boyfriend or he has a girlfriend and he just wants to come by and have fun with no commitments then leave her place unseen.

When your conscience hits, you knock it back with pills. Livin', lovin', she's just a woman. Tellin' tall tales of how it used to be. Livin', lovin', she's just a woman. With the butler and the maid and the servants three. Livin', lovin', she's just a woman. Nobody hears a single word you say. Livin', lovin', she's just a woman. But you keep on talkin' till your dyin' day. Livin', lovin', she's just a woman. Why They're Insulting: This song is obviously a diss to women who marry and divorce men for their money (Alimony, alimony payin' your bills

Scary Song Lyrics:
"No Quarter"
The Lyrics: Close the door, put out the light. You know they won't be home tonight.
The snow falls hard and don't you know? The winds of Thor are blowing cold. They choose the path where no-one goes. Walking side by side with death, The devil mocks their every step The snow drives back the foot that's slow, The dogs of doom are howling more Why: The 1st one is freaky, close the door put out the light, and they won't be home tonight. The winds of Thor? The snow falls hard? Chose the path where no one goes? What? Anything with the devil and walking side by side with death, freaky. Dogs of Doom? Howling?

The song starts during the fade-out of "Your Time Is Gonna Come" (the previous track on the album.) This is pretty hard to work out if you don't have a track counter, but you can spot it if, say, you have the CD reissue of the first Zep album.

Backwards Messages:
"Stairway to Heaven"
Reverse any section of the song (except from the parts where there are no vocals) to find a message with a religious meaning. The most well-known one crops up in the verse starting with "if there's a bustle in your hedgerow". It says: "So here's to my sweet Satan. The one whose little path would make me sad Whose power is faith. He'll give those with him 666. There was a little toolshed where he made us suffer, sad Satan."
