Led Zeppelin Album Match Trivia Quiz

Answer: Presence

"Achilles Last Stand" is the opening track on the 1976 album "Presence", and, at ten and a half minutes, the longest one. Inspired by the hero of the Trojan War, killed by an arrow in his heel, the song became a staple of Zeppelin live shows for the rest of their career.

Answer: Houses of the Holy

"No Quarter" is a track on the 1973 album "Houses of the Holy". The keyboards of John Paul Jones feature strongly on this song, which was a part of the band's live sets for many years.

Answer: Coda

"Darlene" was originally recorded as part of the sessions for the 1978 album "In Through the Out Door" but didn't make it onto the album. It eventually appeared on the 1982 release "Coda". John Paul Jones plays the piano on this song.

Answer: Led Zeppelin II

With one of the most famous opening riffs in rock history, "Whole Lotta Love" was a track on the 1969 album "Led Zeppelin II". It was released as a single in the USA, reaching number four on the Billboard chart - the band never released a single in their home country, the United Kingdom.

Answer: In Through the Out Door

"Fool in the Rain" was a song on the 1979 album "In Though the Out Door". The samba rhythm on this song was inspired by the TV theme music for the 1978 soccer world cup in Argentina.

Answer: Physical Graffiti

"Kashmir", at eight and a half minutes, was the second-longest track on the 1975 double album "Physical Graffiti". Although Kashmir is in India and Pakistan, the song was actually inspired by a holiday taken by Robert Plant thousands of miles away in Morocco.

Answer: Led Zeppelin III

The opening track on the 1970 album "Led Zeppelin III", "Immigrant Song" references Norse mythology and Viking warriors. The song was inspired by a visit by the band to Iceland for a 1970 concert.

Answer: Four Symbols

Probably the most famous Zeppelin song of them all, "Stairway to Heaven" was never released as a single but was still played relentlessly by American radio stations. Regularly voted near the top of "greatest song ever" polls throughout the years, the track appeared on the fourth Led Zeppelin album, released in 1971. No title ever appeared on this album, and it is variously referred to as "Led Zeppelin IV", "Untitled", ZoSo" or "Four Symbols", which refers to the four hand drawn symbols on the inner sleeve.

Answer: Led Zeppelin

"Dazed and Confused" was a track on the band's eponymous 1969 debut album. The studio version is around six and a half minutes in length, but the live version (a part of virtually every Led Zeppelin concert over the next six years) often clocked in at over 20 minutes, with Jimmy Page incorporating guitar solos into the performance.

Answer: Physical Graffiti

As Led Zeppelin only ever released nine studio albums, I have included two tracks from the 1975 double album "Physical Graffiti". "Down by the Seaside" was originally meant to be included on the untitled fourth Led Zeppelin album, but was held over until room was found on "Graffiti". John Paul Jones plays an electric piano on this song.
