My take is that this tune was a touch stone for too many other less talented bands to create so much of the crap rock music of the 80's.
They didn't dare to imitate some of the better innovate music these guys created over the years but this was accessible and "copyable."
All great artists spawn many other less talented imitators. Beatles, Stones, Bowie, Dylan, Neil, Clash, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Floys, Zep, Radiohead etc.

For me this tune is 10 - Godlike, my fave Zep tune. You never hear this on FM, and I've lived in several different parts of the U.S. I used to love woodshedding this one on my drums. The groove at the end/fade out is killer, as is Jimmy's guitar work.
"YAY yeah...YAY yeah...YAY yeah...!"
Thanks Bill!

I'll bet you Robert really wanted to say "dark side of the moon" instead of "dark side of the globe"

How much poorer would the world be without this band?
Almost(?) the perfect album.

Exactly. I can't hear any southern California rock in this song. A little too heavy for the Eagles. Besides, Don Henley couldn't keep up with John "Bonzo" Bonham in his day. |

One of the reasons I listen to RP - they play the songs from a record that did not dominate the FM airwaves of my youth - like this song.
And not just Kashmir and Trampled Under Foot/ |

God this tune just shoots my butt back to my teenage years like no other.
Love Physical Graffiti. Just seems this double album has lots of space to breath and to let songs take their time.
And of course the packaging...

When I first heard Led Zep II as a teenager, I thought it was fantastic. Now...eh. But Physical Graffiti is still great to my faded ears. Still not sure why Led Zep I doesn't get more praise—some of the guitar work on that is ohmigodamazing. |

Damn - just ordered something from Amazon... Gotta go back now. I think I must be living that whole "Eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die" thing... I LOVE this song. |

This song is a brutal reminder of how incredible Led Zeppelin was to me at 10 years old in the land of synth pop that was 1985.
In an instant... it brings back the same feelings.

Great Zep tune that the classic rock stations haven't discovered and played to death yet.
