The Rain Song. That's all I need to say. One of my favorites by them.

Ohhhh yeah... That main riff in "The Ocean" is one of the best ever.

Put on a diaper or keep some extra pants and wetnaps handy. It's that good.

I can still recall the day- I was in grade 9- when my buddy and I sat in his room and he placed this on the turntable.

I had been playing the hell out of Zeppelin II and Zeppelin IV and it was about this time... hearing this album... when I knew this was the greatest band ever. I rarely listen to these guys anymore, but they still get my vote for best band ever out of sheer respect. They held my sole attention the longest of anyone.

Over the Hills and Far Away... what an incredible song.

Aside from II, IV, and Houses... add in: In Through the Out Door, I, III, and Physical Graffiti... that's too impressive an array to even come close too. In my mind... they are incomparable.

Their 'duds' (Coda and Presence) are fine albums by any other band's standard.

Any album with For Your Life, Achilles, and Nobody's Fault But Mine is far from a dud. I think it easily surpasses ITTOD and compares pretty well with most of theirrevious work.

Now remember... I said 'duds' (as per the mainstream sentiments)... not duds.

But with that said... In the Evening and All My Love trump the Presence songs you listed and Poor Tom and We're Gonna Groove from Coda. In my world of course!

I'm not gonna tear down ITTOD, but I guess I just completely disagree with you. I'm not sure there is any song in their catalog that trumps Achilles, even those 2 songs together.

And while were talking about it, I think Coda is pretty sweet. The songs you mention and Ozone Baby deserve a spot on earlier albums.

Not a big Achilles fan, but to each their own.

Is it weird of me to say I need a new pair of underwear after listening to the first side of the first LP of "Celebration Day"?

Weird, but not uncommon. I told you to wear a diaper, man.

LED ZEPPELIN READYING UNRELEASED MATERIAL FOR NEW BOX SETS
by Jeff Giles November 15, 2013 8:45 AM

Hang onto your wallets, Led Zeppelin fans: 2014 promises to bring a mother lode of newly remastered and previously unreleased material, all spread out over a series of box sets devoted to each of the band’s albums.

Jimmy Page has been holed up in the studio poring over Zeppelin’s archives, and he recently revealed during an interview with TeamRock Radio (via Blabbermouth) that he’s completed the remastering process — with a twist. “Each of the albums has been remastered but it also has a companion disc with it,” he explained. “Let’s take, for example, ‘Led Zeppelin III’ — that’s remastered from analog from the original thing. I know everybody does that, but what they don’t do: I revisited all the working mixes that were done at the time.”

What that means for fans, Page explained, is that each of the group’s original LPs will receive an exhaustively comprehensive upgrade. “There’s different versions,” he continued. “Say, for example, there’s ‘Since I’ve Been Loving You’ — there’s an incredible version of that which is totally different, it’s really raw in its approach, it’s quite dramatic, it’s cool. That’s one little item of it, but what it gives is a companion disc to ‘Led Zeppelin III.’ It’ll come out in its own box and all the rest of it. Each disc will give a really intimate picture of the group. That’s the idea that I’ve had with it and I think it’s successful.”

Saying that “the sonic side” of the project is finished, Page promised that each box set would be released separately in 2014. And as for those rumors of unreleased material? “Oh yeah,” he nodded, although he was reluctant to provide any information about the songs. “I can’t tell you,” he demurred when pressed for details. “It’s got to be a little bit of a surprise, I can’t give all the games away.”

+1. I'm really interested in that other version of "Since I Been Loving You" that he mentions.

Sometimes you just need to do a Zeppelin album run.

Great. Just great.

Now I'll have to sell my Sevens box set to clear up some funds.

I need something like this from these guys. It pains me to say this, but over the past two years or so, I've kinda been "over" Led Zeppelin. I'm not sure why. Maybe I've overplayed them but I've overplayed The Beatles and Pink Floyd over the years and never felt disenchanted with them. There's even been occasions where I've thrown in a Zeppelin CD, listened for less than a minute and then didn't feel like listening anymore. I don't know what it is. It's not that I don't appreciate them and if you asked me to list my favorite bands, they still fight it out with Pink Floyd for 3rd place behind PJ and The Beatles. But.....I just haven't been listening to them. Maybe this 2014 thing will relight the fire for me. Hopefully.
