Reading through a survey thread on Fark which asked users to nominate their top five rock ‘n’ roll songs, I noticed a large percentage of users posted something from Led Zeppelin’s Houses of the Holy album. This, of course, prompted me to pull up the tracks in iTunes and refresh my memory. I subsequently listened to the entire album. Then I realized, for my money, I can’t think of a better rock ‘n roll album. I mean real rock, not today’s rock, which is usually a hybrid of styles, not pop, not the ambiguous "alternative", just good, clean, rock ‘n roll.
Besides, I still have fond memories of laughing my ass off with Brad when I first heard the "bridge" (or lack thereof) from The Ocean. And those memories are priceless.
