This album and Led Zeppelin I are my two favourites by them.

Just shows to go ya....there's no accounting for taste!

Quite the opposite for me.  I was in junior high and high school when LZ was huge, albeit starting to ebb somewhat.  I largely ignored them except for the hits that I heard on the radio.  It was only recently that I began really listening to their music.  I have a whole different appreciation for them now, and wish I would have allowed myself to enjoy them back then.  For me, LZ is one of the few bands (along with Rush and a few others) that really stands the test of time.

Seriously?  Why?  They were innovative.  Jimmy Page is one of the most consummate guitar players in rock (and the other members were no slouches either ).

Why not say that about the Beatles then?  I still enjoy Zeppelin to this day.

I always thought his son drowned.

I know everyone hates this album, but I don't care I love it as much as the rest of Zep!

Interesting, for me when that synth solo kicks in it's one of the most exciting moments in the Led Zep canon. It makes the song and sounds just like pure joy to me. Kinda like when the solo kicks in on "In My Life" by The Beatles.

I was too, back in the day. This album never cut it for me.

I enjoy the occasionally Led Zeppelin track here - RP seems to play them just enough - but this isn't one of the most exciting choices available from them.

Big Zep fan here but we don't need to hear this track on RP

So many pretentious RP wine sniffing zep haters out there. I guess yea, this song is a little on the cheesy side. But wait, it was the 70s when this song came out, this sound flew ok then along with a lot of other poop with wings on coke. For me, this song takes me back to one damn fine gal when I was in HS... she loved it, I loved IT! I'm going to close my eyes now...

I always like Led Zeppelin, alo this song, but this synth solo stays ridiculous for me.

I'll restrain myself - this song is a flaming turd (always has been) and is not up to snuff for Radio Paradise.  Every time I hear it I think of John Bonham sitting back there playing his part and thinking "How did it come to this?"

So.... how much of his love?

Jones is a classically trained pianist, so I'd always understood—since the album was largely him and Plant—that it was a keyboard solo. SongFacts seems to agree: http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=369

I've probably said it before, but I put Zeppelin in that category of bands that you probably should have gotten over shortly after high school.  Not bad, just great for the time (adolescense and early adulthood) then you're on to discovering on your own what you  like.

LZ has done some cool album cover art (LZ III is great), but this one is overproduced and gimicky. I believe they came out with 4 different covers with different angles of the same scene. One good one would suffice.

I was always disappointed with the bulk of this album, "Tea for One" was the standout for me, the main reason for having it on the shelf. I don't play it much now, this just doesn't fly high enough for me, pleasant enough though. 5

Strange, the divergent opinions on this one. It is hands down my favorite Zep tune. And I love the keyboard solo.
