Year: 1969
Media type: CD

Led Zeppelin II, also known by the unofficial nickname The Brown Bomber, is a hard rock album, the second released by English band Led Zeppelin in 1969. Here they further developed ideas established on their debut album, creating a work which became even more widely acclaimed and arguably more influential.

The album was released on October 22, 1969, with advance orders of 400,000. Commercially, Led Zeppelin II was the band's first album to hit #1 in the U.S., temporarily knocking The Beatles' Abbey Road from the top spot. It also yielded Led Zeppelin's biggest hit, with the track "Whole Lotta Love". This song reached #4 on the Billboard Top 100 in January 1970, after Atlantic Records went against the group's wishes by releasing a shorter version on 45. The single's B-side, "Living Loving Maid (She's Just a Woman)", also hit the Billboard chart, peaking at #65 in April 1970. The commercial success of this album also brought with it—as with their debut album—accusations of plagiarism (e.g. Willie Dixon's claim to the lyrics for "Whole Lotta Love").

In 2000 Q magazine placed Led Zeppelin II at number 37 in its list of the 100 Greatest British Albums Ever. In 2003, the album was ranked number 75 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.
