Whatever the case may be, Zeppelin kicks a$$ and I will permit no belittling of their role in the history of rock and roll.
They didn't release singles because they didn't want to- they thought the albums should be listened to as a whole. they were rare in that they had a contract that allowed them to make that decision.

Its fair to say that some of the songs would have sold well as singles.
