One of the best songs ever(; so bluesy and dark!

Pistols sounded like "Fuck off," wheras The Clash sounded like "Fuck Off, but here's why.."- Thedigitialgardener

All music is shit music and no music is real- gunsnhalen

Led Zep IV is such a great album, this song probably being the best off it.

Before I knew of this song I knew of the Beastie Boys song "Rhymin' and Stealin'" lol So when I finally heard Led Zeppelin IV's "When the Levee Breaks" I was like what?? Made me realize that Rock and Rap could co-exist together.

I'm sure survivors of Hurricane Katrina could. I can't help but to think of them when I hear this song now.
