Originally formed in the late 1960s under the name the New Yardbirds, the band later changed their name to to Led Zeppelin<\/a> and are considered by some to be one of the greatest rock groups of all time. In fact, according to the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), Led Zeppelin \u2014 Robert Plant<\/a>, Jimmy Page<\/a>, John Paul Jones and John Bonham \u2014 is one of the best-selling bands of all time, coming in fifth overall with over 111.5M units sold over the course of their career.<\/a><\/p>\n

Sales aside, Led Zeppelin did something very few musicians (regardless of genres) have done, which is create a body of work so legendary it transcends genre and generation. Yes, we\u2019re talking about \u201cStairway to Heaven.\u201d Regardless of the issues surrounding the classic tune<\/a>, the fact remains that few songs are as instantly recognizable and loved as \u201cStairway to Heaven.\u201d<\/p>\n

In honor of the legendary band, and because we think there are some great collectibles outside of that one Urban Outfitters shirt every college student owns, we scoured the web looking for great Led Zeppelin picks. From a remastered LP set to Live Concert DVDs (and even a unique Led Zeppelin shirt) here are our favorite Led Zeppelin gifts<\/a> and collectibles to buy right now.<\/p>\n

1. Led Zeppelin Remastered LP Set<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Led<\/p>\n

Featuring the first four LPs from Led Zeppelin\u2019s discography (including that one with the song about stairs), this record set is a must-have for any fan or future collector. Each record comes in its original sleeve and will immediately transport you back to the days before Spotify, when record stores existed and album artwork meant something. Featuring favorites like \u201cDazed and Confused,\u201d \u201cRamble On,\u201d and \u201cWhen the Levee Breaks,\u201d this foursome makes a great addition to any record collection. And if you\u2019re looking to educate the younger generation with some classics, it\u2019s tough to top this set. Purchase: $86.99 on Amazon.<\/a><\/p>\n

2. The Complete BBC Sessions<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Led<\/p>\n

For some, a set of Led Zeppelin LPs isn\u2019t worth the money. Not because they aren\u2019t fans, but because they already own them and already keep them in tip top condition. For those fans out there, this complete BBC Sessions bundle is worth a look. Filled with live recordings done between 1969 and 1971, the BBC Sessions bundle gives new perspective and renditions of tons of iconic Led Zeppelin songs. Originally released in 1997, the BBC Sessions went platinum as a 2-disc set, which makes this complete (3-disc) set all the more appealing. The bundle is available in several formats, from MP3 to CD or vinyl. Though it\u2019s tough to knock a nice record, we recommend the CDs over the other options. The BBC Sessions are amazing but $142.67 for the deluxe vinyl set is a little steep. Purchase: $17.18 on Amazon. <\/a><\/p>\n

3. Liquid Blue Men\u2019s Led Zeppelin Icarus 1975 T-Shirt<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Led<\/p>\n

We\u2019re not sure when Led Zeppelin shirts (and classic rock and metal shirts in general) became so popular, but the fact remains kids love to wear old band shirts. And while it would be impertinent to quiz every kid on the street wearing a Led Zeppelin or Metallica shirt, at least you don\u2019t have to match their generic Urban Outfitters version with this wild 1975 US Tour shirt. Featuring a tri-color tie-dye coloring of blue, black and red (along with various shades) this Led Zeppelin logo tour shirt is a head turner and a great gift for any fan. Purchase: $22.89 on Amazon. <\/a><\/p>\n

4. Led Zeppelin Poster Mothership<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Led<\/p>\n

Another common feature of the average college dorm, Led Zeppelin posters are almost overplayed in the mainstream. That doesn\u2019t mean you shouldn\u2019t own one, though. This Led Zeppelin Mothership poster sits at a sizable 36\u2033 x 24\u2033 and is even available with a frame. The bright red poster features Led Zeppelin\u2019s Mothership blimp soaring over a concert hall with the band members\u2019 names scrawled across the bottom. Purchase: $5.56 on Amazon.<\/a><\/p>\n

5. Led Zeppelin: The Song Remains the Same<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Led<\/p>\n

Featuring footage from a string of shows Led Zeppelin performed in 1973 in New York City, The Song Remains The Same<\/em> gives an unbridled and electric look at the band, and makes a case for why they\u2019re considered one of the greatest to do it. From live footage at the shows to backstage shenanigans, The Song Remains The Same<\/em> is unedited Led Zeppelin. Catch unseen interviews and at-home footage of all the band members, including the late John Bonham in this special edition version. It\u2019s no wonder nearly 600 reviewers gave this DVD a perfect 5 out of 5 stars on Amazon. Purchase: $12.34 on Amazon.<\/a><\/p>\n

6. Led Zeppelin DVD Collector\u2019s Box<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Led<\/p>\n

Yes, we included another live collection in this list, but for good reason. The Collector\u2019s Box here gives an overarching look of Led Zeppelin\u2019s musical career. Whereas The Song Remains The Same<\/em> focuses on a string of three shows in NYC, and the BBC Sessions are live performances done at BBC\u2019s recording studio, this 2-disc DVD documentary features rare interviews and footage from friends of the band, and the band members themselves. The doc begins with the band before they were big, and then follows them as they grew into one of the greatest bands of all time. Purchase: $24.95 on Amazon.<\/a><\/p>\n
