"Black Dog" is a song by English rock band Led Zeppelin. It is the first track on the band's untitled fourth album (1971), which has become one of the best-selling albums of all time.[6] The lyrics contain typical bluesman themes of lust, eroticism and betrayal.[1] The song was released as a single and reached the charts in many countries. It is "one of the most instantly recognisable Zeppelin tracks", and was included in Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time list (US), and ranked No. 1 in Q magazine's (UK) "20 Greatest Guitar Tracks".
Black Dog" was a piledriving hard-rock number cut from the same cloth as "Whole Lotta Love.
