47	!!''Good tropes, bad tropes, you know I've had my share''
48	* BreakUpSong:
49	** "Dazed And Confused"
50	--> ''Every day I work so hard, bringin' home my hard earned pay''
51	--> ''Try to love you, baby, but you push me away''
52	--> ''Don't know where you're goin', only know just where you've been''
53	--> ''Sweet little baby, I want you again''
54	** "I Can't Quit You Baby".
55	--> ''Woman, I can't quit you babe''
56	--> ''I think I'm gonna put you down for a while''
57	* ButNowIMustGo: "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You".
58	--> ''I know, I know, I know I never, never, never, never, never gonna leave you, babe''
59	--> ''But I got to go away from this place,''
60	--> ''I've got to quit you, yeah''
61	--> ''Ooh, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, ooh, don't you hear it callin' me?''
62	--> ''Oh, woman, woman, I know, I know''
63	--> ''It feels good to have you back again''
64	--> ''And I know that one day, baby, it's gonna really grow, yes it is.''
65	--> ''We gonna go walkin' through the park every day.''
66	--> ''Come what may, every day, ooh''
67	* CoverVersion: "How Many More Times?" was inspired by Music/HowlinWolf's "How Many More Years?" from ''Music/MoaninInTheMoonlight''. At the time he wasn't credited for this, but reissues have corrected this mistake.
68	* DeliberatelyMonochrome: The album cover.
69	* EchoingAcoustics: Evident throughout the whole album.
70	* EpicInstrumentalOpener: "Your Time Is Gonna Come", the opening track of side two, starts with a minute-long organ intro, courtesy of John Paul Jones. Some versions of the album reversed the order of the sides, in effect making it this trope for the whole album.
71	* EpicRocking: "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You", "You Shook Me", "Dazed And Confused" and "How Many More Times".
72	* FadeOut: "Good Times Bad Times", "Your Time Is Gonna Come" (though it fades into "Black Mountain Side") and "Communication Breakdown".
73	* FadingIntoTheNextSong: As "Your Time Is Gonna Come" starts fading out, "Black Mountain Side" begins playing.
74	* TheImmodestOrgasm: Some of the vocals on "Dazed and Confused" are...sensual, to say the least.
75	* {{Instrumental\|s}}: "Black Mountain Side".
76	* LongestSongGoesLast: The album ends with the eight-and-a-half-minute "How Many More Times" (though the packaging on the original release mistakenly clocks it in at three and a half), making it the only song on the record to pass the seven minute mark.
77	* LoveHurts: Apart from the break up songs "Dazed And Confused", "I Can't Quit You Baby" there's "[[Music/LedZeppelinII Heartbreaker]]" on the 2014 Deluxe Edition companion disc, about an adulterous woman who has broken the protagonist's heart in the past.
78	* QuestioningTitle: "How Many More Times?".
79	* SelfTitledAlbum: The first of four ([[Music/LedZeppelinIV officially three]]).
80	* ShoutOut: The album cover is the iconic photo of the 1937 Hindenburg zeppelin disaster.
81	* SiameseTwinSongs: "You Shook Me" → "Dazed and Confused", "Black Mountain Side" → "Communication Breakdown" and "I Can't Quit You Baby" → "How Many More Times" are all examples.
82	* TitleOnlyChorus: The refrain of "Your Time Is Gonna Come" consists solely of the title.
83	* TruckDriversGearChange: "Good Times Bad Times".
84	* TyopOnTheCover: The timestamp for "How Many More Times" is mistakenly listed as three and a half minutes on the original release; the actual runtime is five minutes longer than that.
85	* UncommonTime: "Black Mountain Side" is mostly in 4/4, but switches to 9/8, 2/4 and 5/8 at points.
