After listening to one of the greatest albums of all time, Thriller, I've decided to torture myself by listening to John Lennon and Yoko Ono's experimental trilogy. As someone who has liked Revolution 9 off the White Album and enjoyed a couple of songs off Yoko Ono's Fly, I've come to sort of enjoy this and some of the sounds, but it's still a typical tape music/experimental album.

Led Zeppelin IV is the fourth Zeppelin album (obviously), released in 1971.
