Houses of the Holy was a solid follow-up to IV, with some fantastic tunes like No Quarter, The Rain Song and The Song Remains the Same, but also some weak to horrible material like Over the Hills... , Dyer Maker and The Crunge.
Quadrophenia, on the other hand, was a new masterpiece by The Who. New Rock-Opera with a great idea and fascinating music! The Real Me, Quadrophenia, The Rock, Love Reign O'er Me, The Punk & The Godfather, 5:15, Doctor Jimmy, Bell Boy... ahh.. such a classic.

Houses of the Holy is fantastic, but it's got a few weak tracks, and it can't compete with some of the earlier Zeppelin albums. Quadrophenia, on the other hand, is my favorite album by The Who!  -------------

though Zeppelin's '73 tour for Houses was among the greatest in rock history, it is my least favorite album of theirs: Dancing Days, D'yer Mak'er, and The Crunge just aren't very good and could've been replaced with superior material they already had (i.e. 'Hey,Hey What Can I Do'), and the live versions on TSRtS are far better. 1973? Zep wins for their stage act, but not the LP. |

I couldn't pick Quadrophenia due to my disappointment in Roger Daltrey's new vocal sound. "Love Rain On Me" and various tracks contained more of a screaming holding kind of pitch on vocal phrasings. The songwriting was decent. In any bizzare event, I have always been stuck in a time warp or wormhole with Who Sell Out, Live At Leeds and Tommy. Yeah....I let myself down because I disliked his new vocal approach. That's a shame. The Who produced the 3 albums I mentioned above and they were groundbreaking to musicians across the U.S. and Tommy ...I consider pure art rock. The beautiful suspended open chord progressions of Pete Townsend were so crafty and unique and like....nobody was really doing that style during the release of Sell Out or Tommy. Then he restructured those chord voicings for the piece "Underture" where Keith Moon sounds like a young Carl Palmer. Stuff? That's a broad term? is incerdible music.
I would pick Houses Of the Holy because of Jimmy Pages writing on "The Rain Song". The song itself is in rank with a great Beatles song. Mainly the instrumentation due to the fact I was not a fan of Robert Plant. Page had these European open guitar tunings that were mostly Irish and along with various ethnic tunings which one might be custom to hearing on George Harrision songs with the Beatles. Page expanded on them feverishly adding them into a rock song. A song that would sometimes have a 4/4 beat but later venturing off to an off beat displaying talents of Jones and Bonham. Bonham had a special sound on his snare drum in which he could be easily identified. Much in the same way that Bruford is identified. Houses of the Holy contains some interesting writing. It was around this time that Jimmy Page was supposedly doing a film score for a horror film. I never read this in any publication. Zep fans talked about as if they had read it. When I viewed the film "Song Remains the Same', a Zep fan tapped me and stated that what Page was doing on the violin bow in the center of Dazed and Confused, was part of the film score and went on to say that he owned a copy imported from the U.K. I would like to hear that score. Can anyone help me on this one? I pick Houses of the Holy |

Quad - Townsend's masterpiece, and, sadly, the pinnacle of his career.

| Although I preffer Zep overall and think their output is generally more consistent than The Who Quadrophenia is a much superior album to Houses IMO. |

Zeppelin....based on the poll question and Quad looses mainly due to the number of songs on it that are weak, it has more weak songs than Houses of the Holy.
Both classic statues of rock that will never fall.
Although I like The Who more than Led Zeppelin -------------

Page was doing at the time the score of Lucifer Rising, and 22 min of tape is circulating in traders circles.
But sadly this 22 min never were utlized in the actual movie of Kenneth Anger, it was Bobby Beusoleil who do the music.
Also Page start to do a song that is call Swan Song, it's a very long song and a misterious one, with an obscure sound, there are two takes and the whole song last about 22 to 28 min. the two takes add 61 min of great music ------------- |

Hmmm.... I can't just choose one of them. This was the hardest poll ever to decide. Its like Pink Floyd versus King Crimson.

Not only the score, the film was called Lucifer Rising and as i said before, Bobby Beusoleil do the final music.
Obviously this is not avaible in Led Zepp website, because the final product was not credited to Page. But check Kenneth Anger filmography:
http://www.kennethanger.org/filmography.html - http://www.kennethanger.org/filmography.html
Also his movie is on tube:

Page music was dropped from the project. but as swan song this songs are oficially unreleased.
PM me and give you more details, without getting censored.

Quadrophenia is superior in every way. I can't believe this is even a question. I don't own Houses, and except for the Rain Song, I thought it was one of their weaker efforts. I own Quadrophenia on vinyl and CD. The score in my book: Houses - the Rain Song. Quadrophenia - The Real Me, I'm One, Bellboy, 5:15, Doctor Jimmy, Love Reign O'er Me...

Went with Quadrophenia because as a whole it's a better effort with a larger number of good tracks and it has a decent concept to it.....but I do think that Song Remains , No Quarter, and Rain Song are some of the best tracks Zep ever wrote. ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone.

broke the tie voting for Houses of the Holy (the best Zep album for me); Quadrophenia is great too, though (HOWEVER, i'm getting controversial for the fact that i actually prefer Tommy over this..... and of course Who's Next over both of them.......f**k) ------------- Progrockdude |
