THE ALBUM OF THE DAYTHE ALBUM OF THE DAY
LED ZEPPELIN...Houses Of The Holy (1973)
Very few words need to be expressed here. This is highly recommended with 5 out of 5 stars. I would say that about all of Zeppelin's albums, tho. Houses Of The Holy reached number 1 on the U.S. Billboard charts. Here are 8 wonderfully crafted rock n roll songs that still, 40 years later, are a joy to listen to. The highlights are "The Song Remains The Same", "The Rain Song", "Dancing Days" and "The Ocean". However, I have always hated the album cover.
