Lorraine Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Houses, though it has a candidate for fave Zep song, OTHAFA. At this point it's almost a coin toss. Kashmir is freaking amazing. Along with Xanadu, the most epic song ever. The only reason one wouldn't think so is overexposure, like Stairway. Thought I'd clear that up.Agreed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
custom55 Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 III Listen and rethink your vote, please.III Nooooooooo. Rethink your vote. I wasn't a III fan until I saw LZ perform Celebration Day live in '73. The song is much more powerful live than in studio. III has a lot of gems. http://youtu.be/nG3UBn6Oer4 III - Friends & Celebration Day 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are both good songs. On the other hand you love Kiss and J-pop so I don't feel so bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't fret, Custom, it won't be going this time even with my vote. Looks like PG will be joining Achille. Sad. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rutlefan Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 All this talk of filler on PG. I've never got that. Because several tracks are long? Every track on the first three sides is essential to the personality to the album. The fourth side is a shift -- stylistically and song length -- and a bit of a catch-all, but the tracks are still excellent and the side flows well. I admit though that I'm biased; PG has always been my favorite Zeppelin album. Wouldn't say it's their best -- I'd say that about IV and II first -- but it's always been my favorite. And I think at 82+ minutes of consistently excellent music (IMO) it's a perfect double LP. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disc 1 as is stands as absolute gold. PG would be considered an even bigger classic had they only released that as a single album. Its disc 2 where things get patchy. They padded it out with outtakes. In the Light, Wanton Song and Black Country Woman are good. Everything else is meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rutlefan Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 (edited) ^ Mithrandir beat me to it. Side three is the strongest side hands down, IMO. Ten Years Gone is among their handful of very best. Edited December 10, 2016 by Rutlefan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 In round 1, CODA was dismissed as "not a proper album" because it was assembled from previously unreleased material. It's interesting to me that seven of Physical Graffiti's tracks are also "throwaways" from the prior recording sessions for Zep III, Zep IV and Houses of the Holy. Not a knock on PG, just a wondering on why CODA is so reviled. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toscanobarga Posted December 10, 2016 Author Share Posted December 10, 2016 (edited) The greatest rock album of all time being voted off ? Disappointing to say the least. Oh well, the people voted trump, kept caress of steel around too long when we did this for rush albums, "theres nowt so queer as folk" Edited December 10, 2016 by toscanobarga 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a knock on PG, just a wondering on why CODA is so reviled.Coda was released because of contractual obligations. It is an album comprised fully of outtakes. Physical Graffiti was a situation where they were recording an album and ended up with too much material for a single album, but not enough material for a double album. So they padded that album with outtakes. Personally, I enjoy Coda, but it's the Led Zeppelin album I enjoy the least. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
