You really make me want to put "Going to California" on and dream of riding there on a white horse.

Yes, one of those "varied sound palette" tunes is Kashmir, probably the best song Zep has ever recorded (proto-prog in some aspects, as well...)

Hmmm... I must say I'm surprised by the results by now!  I thought IV would get the cup, and now it's the last one! Interesting...

Their fourth album of course followed by Houses.
Physical is what I considered as their poor album ever. Just a bunch of oldies not good enough to release when they were written + several uninspired and boring "new" material.

Three of their four masterpieces (the fourth one being III), can't help thinking some of the tracks on Phisical Graffiti are filler though... And i tend to agree with the statement the Houses songs sound better live... And some of the songs on IV are overplayed... so, no voting today

Physical Graffiti is winner in my book since it is their longest and most experimental work. Close second would have been Houses of the Holy. Now does Physical Graffiti have any filler songs? Sure, but no more than Beatles White Album, and these Zep guys keep groove on to the last note, which itself is amazing achievement considering the length of album. One thing that i have always been curious of, is when people say Robert Plant "lost his voice" around year 1973. Come on? Put Physical Graffiti in your record player and there you have some wildest rock singing ever. Physical Graffiti has the best Jimmy Page guitar riffs ever, the best John Henry Bonham drumming ever, the best Robert Plant groove and simply put, the overall best Zep album of all times.

it's true, Plant's voice took on a nice soulful scratch for PG... it was his elastic ability and range that had shrunk by 73. It is especially evident when hearing live performances during 71 and 72. But I agree that he sounds great on Graf, easily one of their top three albums

Mighty Rearranger (2005) by Robert Plant has still some really amazing vocal work, all one has to do is listen to acoustic song All the King's Horses.

Actree: You'll be happy to note that Presence has grown a wee bit more on me, largely in the person of "Tea For One," one of Zep's saddest and most emotional songs.

good to hear... Tea for One is often confused with the immortal 'Since I've Been Lovin You' cause they're both minor blues.. I like 'For Your Life' and N-N-N-Noooh-body's Fault..... Buh Ma-hine !

"For Your Life" is my favorite on the album; I love that bloozy riff that opens it, and ascending/descending one towards the middle.
"Achille's Last Heel" is okay, but overlong.

Hey, I never thought I'd find other "For Your Life" fans on a prog forum!  Most of the reviews I read are particularly harsh on that song. And I love it! The tune, which is amazingly slow and blasting at the same time, the humour - have you noticed the moment when Plant snores?
