[Heeplist] Led Zeppelin Deluxe Remasters

[Jay Pearson]

Rick, my favorite Zep albums are Houses of the Holy and Physical Graffiti, but I enjoy all of their albums. And, as Madman said, Presence is a highly underrated album. Achilles Last Stand is incredible!

However, I still prefer Heep's first 11 albums (up thru Firefly) to anything by Zeppelin!!! Just sayin'....

 From: Rick Wilson <rick.wilson.292768100 at gmail.com>I do think that "Houses of the Holy", however,

is one of their most underrated and versatile albums.  Nary a duff song in
the tracklisting, which includes "The Song Remains the Same", the monstrous
"No Quarter", the driving "The Ocean", "The Rain Song", one of their best
ever, the quintessential "D'yer Mak'er", and the amazing "Over the Hills
and Far Away".  "Dancing Days" has a nice riff, and "The Crunge" is just a
bit of light-heartedness that many probably feel is out of place, but I
think boasts one of John Paul Jones' best bass parts.  Not to mention that
it sold extremely well, 11 million or 11xPlatinum in the U.S. alone, and
went to Number 1 in four countries.  Its follow-up, "Physical Graffiti"
went 23xPlatinum, Number 1 in three countries and Number 2 in three others,
and is basically just a compilation of older songs that didn't make it on
other discs coupled with a few new, more adventurous numbers, which just
happened to be some of their best: "Ten Years Gone", "In My Time of Dying",
"Trampled Underfoot", "Kashmir" and "Houses of the Holy" are ample meat
gathered together for a feast together with "throwaways" like "The Rover",
JPJ's tour de force, "In the Light", and "Boogie with Stu'", just to name a
few.  lol  Lest we forget "Achilles' Last Stand" and "Tea for One" both
from "Presence"!
