I can understand the Bear Jew's comments about Plant's vocals, especially live, some of which I attribute to trying to preserve his voice while on tour. And Page, although a genius, really showed the effects of heavy drug use in the later years of Zep.

 

My favorites are the first two albums with the bluesier stuff, then again, the first few albums of most bands usually sound better to me. They are usually concentrated efforts of years of work done without the trappings of success. Houses of the Holy, even though it has two songs that I find irritating at times, will always be a part of me and my subconscious. As a tot, it was one of about six 8-tracks we had it was also one of the first CD's I bought, which was an investment at the time, so it got a lot of play at critical points in my life.

Ironically, the song Houses Of The Holy didn't make the cut for the album release. It got on to Physical Graffiti along with (if memory serves) The Rover and Black Country Woman, both of which also didn't make the cut and had to wait one album.

Push the button Frank.

No, because that has one less "g", due to the Bassoon typically only reaching down to a low Bb (and no lower).

All we need are some mushy peas.

 

Any manufacturer, of anything, named Mr Brain's is ok with me.

I'm a lot more like I am now than I was when I got here.
