    Great Choices!!!

    But I would have switched Alice in chains with something by The Clash, Sex Pistols or even The Ramones

    Jimi Hendrix - The Ultimate Experience
    Alice in Chains - Dirt
    Black Sabbath - Paranoid
    Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon
    Nirvana - Nevermind

    Yes, all commercially successful, but also reminiscent of other times when the mainstream wasn't so overcome with tunnel-vision for mindless dreck.

    If you love Led Zep you may want to explore their main rivals back in the day such as Black Sabbath and Deep Purple also other groups such as Hurable Pie and Free. All these groups are English banRAB and if you want an American perspective on things try stuff by the James Gang, Blue Oyster Cult and Mountain.

    All this would give you a great grounding in blues rock/hard rock and early heavy metal. Its classic era in rock.

    Most of these albums are either favorites of mine, recently put into my library, or something I need to check out!
