Pagey's acoustic side has always been vastly underrated. What a great move to release this gem of an album after the sheer blues-rock assault of the first two. http://i45.tinypic.com/2udx929.jpg

I'm surprised III hasn't garnered more votes - like any. It has always been a favourite of mine - I love the texture. It is extremely rich and deep with so many elements contributing to the tracks. I think Since I've Been Loving You is Zeppelin blues at its finest and I love hearing Bonham's drum pedal squeaking. III is the only Zeppelin album that I still play end-to-end. This list is a tough list for me to compose since I through PG are so crazy good. II and IV are probably only so low on my list because they are so overplayed. ITTOD, Presence and Coda are pretty interchangable to me. I find Carouselambra unlistenable (I removed it from my iPod altogether - one of the few tracks in my music library to receive that sad distinction) but enjoy the rest of ITTOD. Coda was outtakes, but I have learned to enjoy some of the material over time. Presence...for me, still meh. Side III of Physical Graffiti comes really close to their finest work, imo. In the Light (being my favourite Zeppelin song - that riff!), Bron-Yr-Aur, Down By The Seaside, Ten Years Gone - four song perfection to me. Album though is III, imo. My list: III PG (side 3) HOTH I II IV PG (the rest of it) In Through The Out Door (w/o Carouselambra) Presence Coda

Some great memories. Thanks, SC. :cheers:

With the Release of the 5.1 I truly think it would be a good idea, but I think only the Suite will be played. I can feel a set list coming: R40-The Time Machine Too Tour!

JPJ is a great on many instruments. Dude has a triple neck mandolin/mandola/octave mandolin for Pete's sake and plays the living hell out of it. Slide bass. Bass. Keys. Pedals. He's just a different beast than Geddy. The Lemon Song is the greasiest, nastiest bass work ever. And with a name like John Paul Jones he could, like, be a ship captain too.

As tr00 as it gets

Kudos to all of you for being true to your feelings despite the hype. We're all different. What a boring world this would be if we were all the same. Personally, I LOVE the thing - but it's cool you don't. Peace, Clem
