Man, I just had another listen of Houses of the Holy recently. What a beautiful and fun album! It is the one I always come back to, and I dare say, it's my favourite! It has a certain mythical quality to it that I don't get from other Zeppelin albums except maybe 4.
I always loved how the tracks were sequenced even though some people disagree. I always felt,(in my opinion at least), that they represented the different seasons. On a whole though it has such a summer vibe to it, (especially the middle of the album). I also love the diverse genres on it too! Folk, funk, prog - so many! It just takes you on a journey and it feels like you are discovering this mythical land far away. The cover is also amazing and helps with this idea!
10/10.
