The Song Remains the Same followed by The Rain Song is one of my favorite one, two punches on an album.

Can you imagine rushing home from the record store, putting on the headphones, dropping the needle and hearing these two songs back to back for the first time?

Especially when their last album was their fourth album, featuring Stairway to Heaven amongst other iconic songs. Wondering how they could possibly follow that masterpiece, you drop the needle and hear that epic opening riff.

It gives you the whole Zeppelin experience. I think maybe II is as good, but the breadth of styles on HOTH is greater.

Same here. Over thills and far away is classic.

Same. The rare perfect album. No bad tracks. It did take me a little while to come around on No Quarter, but when it clicked, it clicked hard. That riff….

I argue that "The Crunge" is the turd in the punchbowl, but we'll allow it lol

The only song worse imo is Hats Off to Roy Harper. I'll never understand why they chose to put that on III instead of Hey, Hey, What Can I Do

It probably has more sentimental value to me than anything. It does have a sort of funky feel to it. But mostly it’s quoteable and as kids we used to.

I mean, without it we wouldn't have "The Magic Number" by De La Soul, so I won't say it shouldn't have happened. ;)

I heard the Tool version first, so the riff hit me hard. Led Zep really understood the concept of "the drop."

Gotta say, thats true for pretty much every zeppelin album (hot dog is a good song too!)

I want to say the same, but Led Zeppelin 2 is just so damned good. But this is definitely a masterpiece.
