No it wasn't

Come on Pilgrim was their first. The pedantic among you might describe it as a mini-album but with 8 tracks it has more songs than some other bands albums. And it is definitely an album.

Good shout, though I tend to dismiss it as such because Zep 2 was so brilliant. But, yes, an excellent debut and a real game changer.

Zep I is a bona fide classic - it has Good Times Bad Times, Babe I'm Gonna Leave You, Dazed & Confused, and Communication Breakdown on it - just an astonishing album.

I find it impossible to say which Zep album is best - this is up there.

Yes, great stuff. Nice "unpolished" production on it, giving it it's hard edge. Dazed and confused is excellent but I'm sure someone challenged Page to say he'd nicked it from him. Irrespective, it's a great piece of music.

Glynn Johns somehow managed to capture the explosion of Page, Jones, Plant, and...Bonham - this was far more powerful than Cream or even Hendrix, imo.

Dazed & Confused was nicked (from a guy named Holmes?) - they reached a settlement,  I think - Zep had amazing management, and good lawyers. ;)

And Terry Reid was very nearly their singer (Page's preferred choice) but Micky Most stopped it happening. It's impossible to imagine Zep without Plant but there's no denying Reid was excellent.

What's worse is imagining Zep produced by Mickie Most!

It's not an album though.

Ha! I see you're so insecure about this that you gave me a red arrow. I take it the truth hurts? Don't take my word for it - check out the discography at the official Pixies website and see what comes up as their first album.
