Led Zeppelin III is the third studio album by the English rock band Led Zeppelin. It was recorded between January and July 1970 and released on 5 October 1970 by Atlantic Records. Composed largely at a remote cottage in Wales known as Bron-Yr-Aur, this work represented a maturing of the band's music towards a greater emphasis on folk and acoustic sounds. This surprised many fans and critics, and upon its release the album received rather indifferent reviews.

令人震撼的John Lennon的首张个人专辑，被《滚石》音乐杂志评选为历史上最伟大500张唱片之一，名列第22位。
1970年，Paul McCartney宣布甲壳虫乐队解散。同年，John Lennon发行了第一张真正的个人专辑“John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band”。其中充满了列侬对少年、青年时承受的烦恼、困惑毫无掩饰的忏悔般表白。强烈的自我也好、无所谓的一起也好。与过去告别的列侬呈现给我们的，是完全不同，却依然精彩的音乐。
为逝去的母亲而做的“Mother”，反映了他幼年失去父母的心情。满是嘲讽的“Working Class Hero”： “'A working class hero is something to be, if you want to be a hero then just follow me”，充满了对蓝领民众生活的冷酷讽刺。还有启示录一样的“God”，列侬以这首歌公开与自己的过去和以往的信仰断绝关系，毫不留情的抨击和否认了包括上帝和自己曾属的披头士乐队在内的种种事物，他唱道，“上帝是一个我们藉以度量自身痛苦的概念"，并列出了一第条他不再相信的事物的名字（幻术，易经，圣经，意式纸牌，希特勒，耶稣，肯尼迪，披头士），最终以一句"我只相信我自己/大野（Yoko）和我自己/这就是现实……"结束。

这张专辑被认为是Eric Clapton一生中最强的专辑之一，而且也被认为是布鲁斯摇滚的巅峰之作。是Eric在解散了Cream之后，和键盘手obby Whitlock，贝司手Carl Radle，鼓手Jim Gordon，以及吉他手Duane Allman组成的Derek and the Dominos推出的。关于Clapton解散Cream的原因，据说是由于他听了The Band的作品，觉得布鲁斯才是自己的方向。

这张专辑在1970年推出的时候，市场并不十分看好（Billboard第16，在英国甚至没有上榜），但经过岁月的沉淀之后，这张专辑的价值越来越得到人们的肯定，在1996年再版之后，2004年又发行了SACD版。

本专辑在滚石杂志评出的500张历代最强专辑中排名第115位

Cosmo's Factory is the fifth studio album by American rock band Creedence Clearwater Revival, released by Fantasy Records in July 1970 and released as Fantasy 8402, the same month as the single release of "Lookin' out My Back Door" b/w "Long As I Can See the Light" (see 1970 in music).

最“哥特式”瞬间：“IronMan”(铁人)中Tony Iommi令人难忘的“圣歌”式吉他演奏。 BlackSabbath》(黑色安息日)原是1963年摄制的一部鲜为人知的独立电影，这队来自伯明翰的4人组合原队名为Earth，在看了这部电影后才改为Black Sabbath，这以后乐队带着醉意的摇滚坏小子形象便开始风靡全球。Black Sabbath的音乐背景是爵士和布鲁斯，但他们却是将重金属和哥特式风格结合得最好的乐队。《Paranoid》是乐队的第二张专辑，也上到过排行榜的前列，标志着他们英式摇滚风格的成熟。他们的音乐往往预示着灾难，而且十分夸张。

Morrison Hotel (sometimes referred to as Hard Rock Cafe from the title of the first side of the LP, whose second side is titled Morrison Hotel) is The Doors' fifth album. It was released in 1970. After their experimental work The Soft Parade was not as well received as anticipated, the group went back to basics and back to their roots. On this album, there is a slight steer toward blues, which would be fully explored by the band on their next album, L.A. Woman. The strategy worked; even though no major hit singles were drawn from the album, Morrison Hotel reestablished The Doors as favorites of the critics, peaking at #4 on the US album chart, and when they followed with L.A. Woman the next year, they were rewarded with two more US Top 20 hits. The album also became the band's highest charting studio album in the UK, where it peaked at #12.
