One of the BEST records in rock, HANDS DOWN.  Led Zeppelin's II is the bands second album and each song on this album is to die for.  This is the record that you want to listen to loud and on vinyl and I'm so glad I have it within my reach.  Lately, I've been on a Led Zeppelin high.  They are just such a great band and believe it or not, I can listen to each one of their records back to back to back.  Regardless of what I write about this band and this album, it will not do justice with how amazing their music is and their sound.  Something worth purchasing, picking up and playing on repeat.

Enjoy!

All that Remains

Upon request by my ATX (Austin, Texas for you non-acronym people) bestie Robbie, here is my forty-fifth pick:

Artist - Led Zeppelin
Album - Houses Of The Holy
Released - 1973
Label - Atlantic
Genre - Rock


Tracks:
Side One
The Song Remains The Same
The Rain Song
Over the Hills and Far Away
The Crunge
Side Two
Dancing Days
D'yer Mak'er
No Quarter
The Ocean


Why did I not play this album sooner?  Well I literally have a long way to go, but this request was made and I had to fulfill.  As I'm listening and writing this, I can't help but think how amazing this album is.  Each song on here is so good, I mean beyond what has been out there for years.  Hearing this is like enjoying your first moment of happiness.  Speaking of happiness, a friend of mine, well two to be exact, made me so very happy today.  One is a friend from Europe who just gave me such great encouragement and I really thank him for that because I had a rough few days.  The other is my best friend from Miami who I absolutely love more than anything.  Talking to her today always makes me feel that no matter the distance, when we talk, it feels like not a day has passed.  I love those friendships and I keep all my good, true friends really close to my heart.  So what better way to bring in such a great, productive and happy day than Houses of the Holy.

Houses of the Holy is Led Zeppelin's fifth album and with songs like The Song Remains The Same, The Rain Song, Dancing Days, D'yer Mak'er and The Ocean, you can see why Led Zeppelin has had so much success.  My cousin had a poster of Led Zeppelin in her room and it was the one where the band was standing by the airplane.  Man, what a sexy group of rock stars.  Robert Plant's voice is just so piercing and memorizing as well as Jimmy Page's guitar playing.  Let's not forget John Paul Jones on bass and the greatness behind the kit, John Bonham, who I think is one of the best drummers EVER!!  Ahh, so many good things from this album come to mind that it makes me want to stay in a state of Zeppelin.  I totally made that up!!  It's insane to think such greatness started so long ago and is much appreciated today.

Enjoy!
