Led Zeppelin IV

The fourth album released by the British blues/rock band Led Zeppelin was not officially titled Led Zeppelin IV. The original pressing did not have the name Led Zeppelin anywhere on the outside, instead featuring four runes (one for each band member). For this reason the album is often called Four Symbols or The Runes Album.It is also referred to as "Zoso" because of Page's rune. In fact apart from the (unpronounceable) runes the album does not seem to have an official title.

Released on November 8, 1971 by Atlantic Records

• Despite the immense popularity of "Stairway To Heaven", as it received heavy AOR radio rotation back in the early 1970s, and regarded as one of the most popular rock songs of all time, the song was never released as a single thus it was never seen on the Billboard charts.
