In the land of Lemurs and Heroes, your wizard encounters Louise Mayqueen and her husband, Zach. Louise is an inventor and aviation enthusiast. Other than her husband your wizard is the first human she’s ever seen. Louise has invented a blimp companion fitted with light emitting diodes to illuminate one’s path as you walk in the evening. These LED Zeppelins have floated out the door, over the hills and far away. Louise asks if you can keep an eye out for her LED Zeppelins as she has a whole lotta love for her invention. Once you find all the LED Zepplins, she can signal their onboard computers to return home, unless there’s a communications breakdown.

Led Zeppelin were an English rock band formed in London in 1968. The band comprised Robert Plant (vocals), Jimmy Page (guitar), John Paul Jones (bass and keyboards), and John Bonham (drums). With a heavy, guitar-driven sound and drawing from influences including blues and folk music, Led Zeppelin are cited as a progenitor of hard rock and heavy metal. They significantly influenced the music industry, particularly in the development of album-oriented rock and stadium rock.

Led Zeppelin evolved from a previous band, the Yardbirds, and were originally named “the New Yardbirds”. They signed a deal with Atlantic Records that gave them considerable artistic freedom. Initially unpopular with critics, they achieved significant commercial success with eight studio albums over ten years. Their 1969 debut, Led Zeppelin, was a top-ten album in several countries and features such tracks as “Good Times Bad Times”, “Dazed and Confused” and “Communication Breakdown”. Led Zeppelin II (1969), their first number-one album, includes “Whole Lotta Love” and “Ramble On”. In 1970, they released Led Zeppelin III which opens with “Immigrant Song”. Their untitled fourth album, commonly known as Led Zeppelin IV (1971), is one of the best-selling albums in history, with 37 million copies sold. It includes “Black Dog”, “Rock and Roll” and “Stairway to Heaven”, with the latter being among the most popular and influential works in rock. Houses of the Holy (1973) includes “The Song Remains the Same” and “Over the Hills and Far Away”. Physical Graffiti (1975), a double album, features “Trampled Under Foot” and “Kashmir”.

“Whole Lotta Love” is a song by the English rock band Led Zeppelin. It is the opening track on the band’s second album, Led Zeppelin II, and was released as a single in 1969 in several countries; as with other Led Zeppelin songs, no single was released in the United Kingdom. In the United States, it became their first hit and was certified gold. Parts of the song’s lyrics were adapted from Willie Dixon’s “You Need Love”, recorded by Muddy Waters in 1962; originally uncredited to Dixon, a lawsuit in 1985 was settled with a payment to Dixon and credit on subsequent releases.

In 2004, the song was ranked number 75 on Rolling Stone magazine’s list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time, and in March 2005, Q placed “Whole Lotta Love” at number three in its list of the 100 Greatest Guitar Tracks. It was placed 11 on a similar list by Rolling Stone. In 2009 it was named the third greatest hard rock song of all time by VH1. In 2014, listeners to BBC Radio 2 voted “Whole Lotta Love” as containing the greatest guitar riff of all time.
