Maybe - more than enough
Oh, darlin', darlin', darlin', walk a while with me
Oh, you've got so much, so much, so much -
Many have I loved
Many times been bitten
Many times I've gazed
Along the open road.
Many times I've lied
And many times I've listened
Many times I've wondered
How much there is to know.
Many dreams come true
And some have silver linings
I live for my dream
And a pocketful of gold.
Mellow is the man
Who knows what he's been missing
Many many men
Can't see the open road.
Many is a word
That only leaves you guessing,
Guessing 'bout a thing
You really ought to know, oh, oh, oh, oh
Really ought to know, oh, ohh
I really ought to know, oh
You know, I should, you know, I should
You know, I should...
This really should be followed by Jane Says.
Says who?
Creepy ass album cover. Naked children climbing over the Devil's Post Pile.
And just this week they, the band, were convicted of using the rift from Randy California and Spirit for Stairway To Heaven.
Led Zeppelin was the best cover band in their early days and paid no one for ripping off those musicians whose lyrics and rifts they used.
Wah!
Creepy ass album cover. Naked children climbing over the Devil's Post Pile.
Only creepy for those whose minds seem to want to go there. A look to the mirror?
Well said.
I'm trying to teach my kids to be open to anything and everything musically and, most importantly, don't be embarrassed of or apologize for the music you like (even if your friend named Bruce who only listens to early 90s indie bands like Pavement calls it's "dinosaur rock"... oh wait... that's my friend Bruce).
I'm also a Bruce and I listen to everything so maybe that makes up for your friend.
Ms. Griffin, then her ex-husband. Quite the trickster you are...
Best,

You call this dull drumming?
No no no.
Just quoting what someone else wrote. I think the song is a ten. easy.
I see that the quote is no longer here. My guess is they got embarrassed and took it down.
I used to have preconceived notions of what I 'should' or 'shouldn't' like based on my own self imposed restrictions. For instance - Bob Dylan - I don't like Bob Dylan - but once I just listened to everything on its own terms then my perception changed.
Yes, this track has been a part of my life since it was released. But wow, just wow, what an amazing piece of music.

I guess you're being ironic. The thought of people finding this album cover objectionable makes me wonder what's in their mind. If anything, that's what is perverse, certainly not the album cover.
This still blows me away!!!!!!!

" but becomes dull without that song's torrid guitar solo"
Thank God for that solo!

Yep...but kind'a sort'a implied by the way it echo's with the "oh oh oh" and then fades away...like over the hills and.....?

From "Taurus" Wikipedia article:
In May 2014, an attorney hired by Randy California's estate announced plans to file a copyright infringement suit that will seek a co-writing credit for California on "Stairway to Heaven." In April 2016, district judge Gary Klausner ruled that there were sufficient similarities between the songs that Jimmy Page and Robert Plant (who is credited as co-writer of "Stairway to Heaven") would stand trial by jury for copyright infringement. The trial began on June 14, 2016. On 15 June 2016, Jimmy Page spent hours on the witness stand testifying. The trial concluded June 23, 2016 with the jury finding that Led Zeppelin was not guilty of plagiarism.
Thank you for saving me the time and energy looking this up to verify.
Peace, out.
"Houses of the Holy" was released 44 years ago today.
If that's not depressing enough for you Mr. NickDanger, you're about to get your first AARP notice in the mail within a year.

You don't know much about law do you?
ALSO, it's "RIFF" NOT "RIFT"
Hooks, hooks, and hooks in the forms of guitars, drums, vocals, lyrics, bass.
That's why people still get excited to hear these songs. Duh.
All these Johnny come Latelies followed in the footsteps of George Farquhar who used (stole) the original lyrics for his play - "The Recruiting Officer".
It was quite the hit early in 1706, as I recall, when I traveled through London.

This song makes me want to ride motorcycles, smoke dope and chase women. Probably in that order?
I’d think it was a mid life crisis but I this album made me feel the same way when I was 18.
An attempt to illustrate the culmination of Arthur C. Clarke's Childhood's End. But I think you're right; that cover would not pass muster today. Call it Smell the Glove syndrome.

42 years later, and I still can't figure out how they got away with that album cover!
Well, it was released quite a while before The Meese Commission was established.
And there were hooks, hooks, and more hooks in the form of riffs, percussion, lyrics? And do this all in 3 minutes?
Nah...couldn't be true.
That's where I am in my mind.......
YES (each and every time it sounds that great : )
Getting stoned at Boy Scout Camp...a national rite of passage! Everybody did it!
Heh - you too? Not only did I get high for the first time at Scout Camp, I also heard my first dirty joke at camp. My son was totally disinterested in Scouts, but me made up for it at various sports camps he wanted to attend. At one such camp, held on a nearby college campus, his mother and I dropped him off at the dorm he was staying in. He refused all offers of help with his stuff and disappeared into the building, from which came a storm of noise - guys yelling, laughing, TVs and stereos blasting. His mother said "Will he be all right?"
I just said: "Yeah, he may learn a thing or two not on the official curriculum. And that's OK."
Berkeley? Mid-80's? Troop 4 or Troop 6? I might've been there with you.
Getting stoned at Boy Scout Camp...a national rite of passage! Everybody did it!
Not Berkeley...Troop 1 Wayland, MA. Long gone due to lack of adult leadership and kids' perception that Scouts weren't cool. I was Senior Patrol Leader for a disastrous year. The Scoutmaster was a guy deep in the closet who barely spoke and somehow thought that he just had to show up at Scout meetings to make sure we didn't break windows. The two guys my age who were supposed to run the troop with me were a mess: one was perpetually stoned and the other was an Asperger's type who only wanted to read sci-fi...even during troop meetings. The younger kids weren't interested in the Scouting stuff at all. A bitter lesson in how easily good things can fall apart if no one puts in the effort.
It disturbs that the Boy Scout leadership became so conservative. No gays, no atheists, no girls. The morality argument used to defend those recently enacted policies is inexcusable and I'm glad that the idiots in TX running BSA had to back down from some of those positions. Scouting isn't for everyone and I think some of the more formal, semi-military aspects of the group are outdated, but it can be a lot of fun and a great formative experience.
They figured it out ok, it was that after the O2 show Plant didn't want to do Zeppelin anymore.
In 2007 they did a single show (tribute to Atlantic's Ahmet Ertegun) which was better than we had any right to expect. Of course Jimmy was great, but Plant's voice was also in surprisingly good shape, making for a memorable show. Check it out on DVD/blu-ray.
I do miss getting stoned, although I've done it less than 10 times in my life...It's been 20+ years now.

Must have been in a bad mood or something....
I just rated it at 8. Checking my mood... No. I'm fine. Might buck it up next time I hear it though.

Everybody in my church loves this song...
Not Stonehenge. It's the Giant's Causeway in N. Ireland.
If you were talking about The Rain Song or Ten Years Gone, I wouldn't argue.
This one though doesn't really qualify as 'one of the most beautiful and touching songs of all time.' Or even of the last half hour.
Well, in my opinion, it does. Do you even like this song?

I'm with you musicluver. I can't say this is my favourite song of all time but it sure as hell is no duffer!
This could be the best Zep album ever. Except for maybe LZ 1. And maybe LZ 2. And myabe Zoso (LZ 4) now that I think about it. And let's not forget that LZ 3 was a killer folksy album, and a dramatic break from their previous heavy-duty rock albums.
Are we clear about all that now?
What's wrong with Physical Graffiti?
Practice, practice,practice!

Hey! I luvs me some Zep too!!
Bob/Jimmy, if you're out there, CALL ME!

Hear, hear!
It depends if you are rating based on how you truly respond to the music, or what the song's reputation is.
And the ratio of 'halfway-decent' to 'duffers' is.
Comparatively, Zeppelin had fewer 'duffers' than any other band that comes to mind. Even on a bad day they were better than most everyone else out there - and far and away better than most of what's being released these days.
And this isn't one of my favourite Zeppelin tunes.
Hahahaha, I just wet myself.
Except the fact of covering (stealing) tunes and gaining the career they had on other peoples music.

Just like every other band in the history of Rock & Roll?
Agreed... nothing is gained from parsing Zeppelin on an album by album basis. They all were classics (not counting, perhaps, the Coda album which was released after the breakup)
Except the fact of covering (stealing) tunes and gaining the career they had on other peoples music.
Perhaps there are rather too many 'classics' on this station for some folks tastes. Every day brings a heap of Led Zep, Grateful Dead and The Who, to mention but a few 'classic' bands. Perhaps those of a certain vintage (and I'll not see 50 again myself) might wet their knickers over 'golden oldies' but such tastes aren't always shared, and it's not sacrilegious to just plain dislike 'classics', much as it's not sacrilegious to hate Mozart, say. No music is above criticism.
For all that, Led Zep did put out some halfway-decent music, but they also had their fair share of duffers, as befits what was for the time an experimental band, and IMO this is one of them.
