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 {#Wink}).

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

Just because you're a repetitious boor doesn't mean you're not talking arrant nonsense.

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

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 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.

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...{#Cheers}

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?"

I agree wholeheartedly. Zep lost their "appeal?" In my opinion long, long ago...yawn...Page was also the least interesting of 3 Yardbird guitarists INHO

Good advice.  We'll make a note and send it back in time.

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

Lauri Anderson's "song" Let X=X has a line "thanks for introducing me to the chief" with one of those "forced" key changes right at the word "introducing". Until just now, when I looked up the lyrics, I always thought it said "thanks for introducing me to the cheap", which I though was intended as a jab at songs that use the forced key change thing. Oh well. I like my version of her song better.

Unfortunately, this is still getting a lot of airplay on "Classic Rock" stations as well. Too much, in my opinion. To tell the truth, I'm kinda burnt out on this one.

I hear ya, Chuck. IMO, the gratuitous key change is the dumbest cliche in music, usually used as a desperate attempt to add interest to a song that is flat-lining. Even in the hands of the mighty Zep, it does not work. I'll bet that this is the only track in their awesome catalog where they pull this lame stunt.
