'''Led Zeppelin III''' is a 1970 album by Music/LedZeppelin, the third in their catalogue, thus the title. The record is best known for the songs "Immigrant Song" and "Since I've Been Loving You".

At the time it got such bad reviews that the band members decided to give their next album, ''Music/LedZeppelinIV'' (1971) no indication of what their band name, album title or serial number were on the cover. That way critics and fans could judge the record on their own merits, without automatically being prejudiced in disliking it because it was made by them.

--> ''And all the fish that lay in dirty water dying,''
--> ''Had they got you hypnotized?''
--> ''And yesterday I saw you kissing tiny flowers,''
--> ''But all that lives is born to die.''

Could be considered An Aesop against capital punishment, although it's not clear if the band intended it this way.
* MetalScream: During "Immigrant Song".
* NewSoundAlbum: Despite still being heavy rock "Led Zeppelin III" was notable because for having a different, slower musical approach than their previous albums. "That's The Way", for instance, is an acoustic song. "Bron Y-Aur Stomp" features the use of castagnets and "Hats Off To Roy Harper" has a weird effect on Plant's voice.

* OneWordTitle: "Friends", "Tangerine".

* SelfTitledAlbum and TitleByNumber: Commonly referred to as "Led Zeppelin III".
* ShoutOut:
** First pressings of "Immigrant Song" in the USA as a single had a quote from Creator/AleisterCrowley.
--> ''Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law''
** "Immigrant Song" was used in ''Film/TheGirlWithTheDragonTattoo'' (2011), but in a cover by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross featuring Karen O.
** "Hats Off to Roy Harper" is a tribute to folk singer Roy Harper and also has some lyrics lifted from blues singer Bukka White.
* TheShowMustGoWrong: "Celebration Day" originally used one of John Bonham's drum tracks in the intro, but an engineer accidentally erased the recording. To compensate the synthesizer drone from the end of "Friends" was used to fill up the gap.
* TheSomethingSong: "Immigrant Song".
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: They have two songs named after the Bron-Yr-Aur cottage where they recorded. One of them gets it right ("Bron-Yr-Aur"), but the other spells it wrong ("Bron-Y-Aur Stomp").
* StudioChatter: "Hats Off to (Roy) Harper" starts off with some audio chatter.
