Synthesizer Patel Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 am i the only one who thinks that Over The Hills and Far Away is one of, if not the best Zeppelin song ever? That's one of my favourites too (In the Light and Out on the Tiles, are the only two I prefer more), but I don't like Houses of the Holy as much as some of the other albums though.

solace Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 it's rock i want, i'll definitely take II, III, or I, but for all around i love the depth and diversity of Houses. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

froggie Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 i'm amazed at how underrated some off those Presence tunes are. i guess they're overshadowed by achilles last stand and nobody's fault but mine. but stuff like hots on for nowhere, for your life and royal orleans is great Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Analogman Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 I'd say Houses of The Holy and In Through The Out Door are the ones I listen to the least. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cryptique Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 also, dont underestimate robert's solo career. under the 80s production there are some very strong songs"Far Post" being one of the best ... sadly that was only ever released on the "White Nights" soundtrack -- which I finally broke down and bought because I wanted that song so badly. Why not get them all in order -Why not just spring for the ten-disc box set that includes remasters of every album? I just did that a few months ago, rather than purchasing all the remastered versions individually to replace my older ones. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 May be pricey for her - when I bought it used about 9 years ago - it was still 115 bucks I think. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cryptique Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 I got it for 60 ... but the discs were a little scuffed. Played and ripped fine, though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 I'd like to seem them re-mastered again - in HDCD. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bjorn_skurj Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 i got my first introduction to led zepplin this weekend(not counting the songs that are played on the "classic" rock radio station in town), and i am really impressed. i mean they aren't really life-altering songs, but they are really great, and some of the guitar and bass parts are really clever from an analytical standpoint. either way, i'm impressed. i just bought that 2 disc set of "early days" and "latter days". anybody have any suggestions for full albums to pick up. next on my list to get is some t.rex stuff.Zeppelin rules! (I got detention once for writing that on a locker). All of their albums are awesome; my faves are II, III, Houses of the Holy, Physical Graffiti and Presence. You'll like T. Rex too. (Analogman will be SO proud of you!) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fortuneinmyhead Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 can anyone guide me to where i can find the soundtrack work jimmy page did for that kenneth anger film (i think it was lucifer rising?) i don't think it was released anywhere but i'm sure it's floating around the web somewhere...

Due to a very cool cousin that was about 8 years older than me (and didn't mind a little kid tagging around) I was into those guys when I was a pup.While the other kids in our class were listening to the Archies or whatever I was jumping around with a tennis raquet pretending to be J. Page.Yes,I was a freak even then! God,all of em are good.For a band sometimes labled as Heavy Metal they sure had alot of styles & textures.Such a shame they were victims of overkill. Another reason to dig em:resisting the temptation to get another drummer & "re-form" as LZ....there's few things more commendable in RXR than having real integrity A scarce commodity,if you ask me.

awatt Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 The Song Remains the Same is good place to start. Going to California is a personal favorite, but I'd recommend I, II, III, or IV to get you started. Stairway to Heaven rocks everytime I hear it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Campaigner Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Oh, come on. Nobody actually likes Presence better than Houses. Jesus. I do. 'Houses of the Holy' is my least favourite Zep album ('Coda' doesn't count). OK, so 'The Rain Song', 'No Quarter', 'The Song Remains the Same', 'Over the Hills and Far Away' and 'The Ocean' are all kick-ass songs, but the flow of the album is terrible and sounds more like a compilation than a studio album. 'Presence' is way underrated. Page is a god on this album. Am I the only one who also thinks ITTOD gets nowhere enough love? Page's solo on 'I'm Gonna Crawl' is sublime, it's like you can hear the smack making his way through his veins as he plays it - top stuff. FWIW, my order is; IIIIVIIIPresencePhysical GraffitiITTODHouses of the Holy But I also agree that 'How the West Was Won' is a must-buy. Zeppelin live in 1972 is almost as good as they got - my preference is for the early Fillmore gigs from 1969, but the 1972 stuff is Zeppelin just before Plant's voice went out and the whole Zeppelin machine got too big. There are one-off things after this time that kick-ass, the Earls Court 'No Quarter' performances in 1975 were pretty awesome, as was June 1977, but this is when Zeppelin were their consistent best.

Welsh Rich Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 II is my favourite, followed closely by Physical Graffiti... The Remasters double disc is also a good place to start and you can pick that up quite cheaply now I think... I remember my Dad playing II to me on casette when I was a kid... I remember it blowing my mind; those riffs, that voice, the drumming... that was it then, hooked! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
m_thomp Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 I'd buy the DVD. The footage from the Albert Hall is sensational. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

froggie Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 The Song Remains the Same is good place to start. cool, i'm a party pooper on the thread now something doesnt sit right with the 73 shows for me. they seemed to sound much better in 1972 and 1975. maybe the 75 shows had boost in motivation with the new songs.

I've seen it on dime a dozen and boot city. As far as that goes, there are hundreds of live shows out there to get. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Oh, come on. Nobody actually likes Presence better than Houses. Jesus. I like the live versions of the Houses of The Holy songs - that album has such a weird sound that I have always found it hard to get into. Houses of The Holy was the last record album I bought when record stores actually carried record albums - pre-cd days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
