I am the Only one that shows Love for that song ![]() ![]() |
I gotta say the keyboard during the first half of Carouselambra is obnoxious.

^^^me too, Carouselambra is cool stoner music. Not spectacular but I like it just the way it is.

Great album, but not my fave. I'll give that to Physical Graffiti. Battle Of Evermore mars it a bit for me. Not a fan of the mandolin. Still, it's a standard - bearer from the early '70's. My musical interests seen to start around the brink of 1970 ( 1st era of heavier bands), so, yeah, this is one of the early examples I use as a yardstick to measure against.

One time when I was doing my radio show, I played the first few seconds of Stairway to Heaven, then I turned it off and went on the air and said "just kidding." That was my nod to the song being hideously overplayed for decades, and that it certainly didn't need to be played again, even at my itty bitty little station. Just because the song has been overplayed to death doesn't mean it isn't still a brilliant song, and the album is still brilliant whether you've heard it 1 time or 1 zillion. |
The only time I ever hear 'Stairway' is whenever I listen to the entire album and it's a magical ride of sheer perfection whose power to amaze and delight remains undiminished. It's still quite an adrenalin rush and my personal favorite Zep song from what I would consider their best album.
'Carouselambra' is fantastic too btw.
