Isn't is sad that today a photographer would probably be arrested for taking the picture that is the iconic cover to this LZ Album!?

Would anyone care to speculate why the song No Quarter is not played on RP?  As far as I know it's among Zep's best so far as reputation goes and I don't think it could come close to being considered overplayed.  So what gives?

great, thanks Bill. I can't even work now. I have to listen to this entire song. If I had to pick one Zep song, this might be it. Bury me with it. I mean burn.

this may seem odd, but if I've got a migraine headache, I'll go in a dark room and listen to this and it goes away.  It's quite peaceful.  Weird, saying that about a Zeppelin song.  Tells you a lot about their range....

{#Clap} Can't believe I don't have this CD (I have the vinyl) - just ordered it through the RP links. I hope it helps, but even if I screwed up, I'll have this CD soon, and it will replace something else in my ten-CD player. Lordy, these headphones and RP are gonna make me crazy... {#Dancingbanana}

Oh. My. God.  I just found the headphone jack (well, new computer and allathat...) I can't breathe - this is so amazing... It's like being blind and suddenly being able to see...

I have an ancient pair of Koss headphones, inherited from my late father, and I finally GET why people criticize and extol various songs.  I can't even form eloquent words. This is just perfect. And it's my absolute favorite Zep song.

I'd die, but I'd miss so much new music... This is exquisite... Especially the last part.... Pagey at his absolute best...

Great song, much more subdued than other Zep cuts — well, MOST other Zep cuts — but a classic. One of the greatest albums in the world. I wore out two vinyl copies of it.  Air guitar to The Song Remains The Same, anyone? Can you believe that the first Zep album, with Communication Breakdown and every other awe-some tune on it, was panned when it first came out? So what if they lifted riffs from the blues masters? Page & crew made them their own, and progressed to Physical Graffiti.

There is a good reason why they call this "classic rock."

Sublime.

To me, this is the absolute BEST of the Zep - it's a rebirth song, a song of hope and strength. I've always loved it and for reasons based on what's happened in the last few days, that love won't change.

If there was a "Like" button for comments, I would have "liked" your comment.  Lovely.
