Talk:Led Zeppelin discography
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] What could be done.
The table backgrounds should be darker and the singles section should be more complete with chart positions and cover art. A great example of this is the Queen discography.--172.148.22.251 06:19, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
should the tracklists for each album link to the individual songs? Alcuin 02:07, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] The chart section
The charting positions section is inconsistent with other information. The article claims "Led Zeppelin only released one single in the United Kingdom, that was Whole Lotta Love; but it only reached #21" yet in the chart it claims Whole Lotta Love reached #1 and that Black Dog, Misty Mountain Hop and Rock and Roll all made the UK singles chart. Also the chart section claims that Fool in the Rain, Hot Dog, South Bound Suarez and All My Love charted on the Mainstream Rock Chart in 1980 but when reading the Mainstream Rock article it says that the chart first began in 1981. Stairway to Heaven is placed in the chart section when it was not released as a single - there are other songs like this. We are told what the singles were that Led Zeppelin released in the US yet there are other songs in the chart list which are not mentioned in the list of singles but somehow managed to chart! eg. Kashmir is not in the list of released singles yet charts at #16. The chart really needs to worked on - or the other information is wrong.
---==---
I agree, the chart table is a mess. I actually came to the wikipedia entry as I couldn't remember if Led Zeppelin ever released a UK single or not. I thought I had my answer in the text which says Whole Lotta Love was released as a single but reached #21. I find the comment about needing to reach the top 20 in the charts to be considered a hit a little misleading as I always thought it was the top 40 (and i think it became the top 75)
Anyway, from what I can gather (in the form of my 1988 copy of British Hit Singles), all the info in the table for the UK chart is wrong since they didn't release any singles in the UK in the 60's, 70's or 80's Looking at the Whole Lotta Love Single page it suggests it was released in the UK charts in 1997 where I suspect it reached #21 if the info in the article is correct So, all the numbers in the UK Chart column should be removed, and an extra row at the bottom needs to be added saying "Whole Lotta Love (1997)" with the UK chart position in it.
Hope that helps
