That album still kicks ass all these years later.

Damned skippy, it does. (^)

This is definitely in my Top 5 favorite albums of all time. The Rover/In My Time of Dying/Ten Years Gone FTW

So I may have mentioned this but I had a breakdown this summer (ta da huh?) and played Sick Again and The Wanton Song were on the heaviest rotation I have ever known in nearly 30 years of listening to them.

If you sing Sick Again out loud these days, well...

Erm yeah, I'm sooo totally better too.

the song and the building remain the same, eh?
some things truly are timeless and will never crumble.

It'd be better if Plant would STFU and stop trying to be a bluesman.

Point. Set. Match.

Why didn't the article shoot them both (new window)?

Sorry. Try this (new window).

Robert performed "Black Country Woman" on his tour this spring. Yeah, it rocked. No airplane noise either.

Mick Jagger never sounded better than he did on that album.

Yep, that sure looks like every other brownstone in New York

I want to thank my parents for being born when I was so I was able to spend my teen years with Zep, The Stones, Pink Floyd, Sabbath and so on and yadda yadda. Oh well, at least this generation has the Jonas brothers and hanna montaneryo.

... and what's the deal with the LATTER-DAY SAINTS banner I've been seeing on the right, here -->

"Down by the Seaside" is my favorite from that record.

That sudden strange tempo and mood change in the middle -- "do you still do the twist...." is what makes that song and the way it falls back into the lazy but pretty groove.

[sigh] if only they had replaced "In My Time of Dying" [meh] with "Achillies last stand" [awesome!] [yes i know it was written a year later] [that woulda made the awesomest Led Zep single disc [cd / lp wise] EVER!

and gotten rid of "boogie with stu" and "sick again" [meh].

Well fear not, I'm sure the guy will come with a formula for success one of these days.

Physical Graffiti = best Zep album (except for maybe Zep I)

Ya beat me to it! I heard at one time there was a used clothing store in the basement called "Physical Graffiti". Pretty clever.

The first time I heard the album was when a friend of mine loaned the cassette tape to me. It was on side two when I first played it and the whole album was on one tape so "In The Light" was the first song I heard. I didn't really dig it so I took it out and put it aside. Later I started it on the right side while I was driving to Atlanta and it proceded to kick my ass. Forever will be in my top 3 albums.

My favorite Zep disc.

Light, light, light

/In the light
//Everybody needs the light
///Oooh-yeah-he-yeah

For all the talk of Led Zeppelin as a great band, they also got some great album covers. Physical Graffiti, Houses of the Holy, In Through the Out Door, Led Zeppelin III, Led Zeppelin, all great album covers. And as much part of Led Zeppelin's history and legacy as the music on the albums within.

The Google Map version (new window)

This is the tour I saw them on, but Zep III is still my favorite album of theirs.

led zep should do a new version of the houses of the holy pic, where all the naked kids are rephotographed naked, but how they are now, older.
that would be cool.

Zep 3 is my favorite... although it been years since I heard this one. Must try again.
