EVERYTHING about this album is "classic" and special and unique. From the cover to the symbols to the font of the print on the inner sleeve to the Hermit painting on the inside cover.....just everything was magical and so "cool" back in the day, and still is. Not to mention the MUSIC. Favorite songs are "When The Levee Breaks" and "Stairway to Heaven", but love ALL the songs almost equally. It truly is a perfect album with no weaknesses whatsoever. I remember listening to this album while I read my Wizard Of Earthsea and Lord Of The Rings books as a young teenager at the time.....the song "The Battle Of Evermore" was especially perfect for a background music for those fantasy books I used to enjoy. Brings me back to a happy time.
You said the "right" and " perfect" words to describe that album Jeff: yeah, "classic", "special", "unique", great cover, great songs...!!! Yeah, I agree, everything about the album is great !!! And "Stairway to heaven" and "When the levee breaks" are 2 excellent choices as your favorite songs !!! And of course "The battle of evermore" is really something too !!! Thanks !!!
Hi Marc - I enjoyed your song-by-song breakdown and totally agree with your overall 10 rating. Truly a classic album. I saw Warren Haynes play Misty Mountain Hop with Phish about 20 years ago...it was great. Rock on!
Never heard the Warren Haynes version of "Misty mountain hop !! That must be interesting !!! Glad we both agree about the rating of that album !!! You're right Randall, that's a true classic album !!! Thanks a lot !!!
Great video! One of the all time classics of rockmusic. I just started learning the guitar solo of "Stairway to heaven" and it's a lot of fun. Black dog 10/10 Rock'n'roll 10/10 The battle of evermore 10/10 Stairway to heaven 11/10 (heard it so often, but it's still one of my favorite songs of all time) Misty mountain hop 9/10 Four sticks 9/10 Going to California 10/10 When the levee breakes 11/10 (totally agree with you that this is just an awesome song)
Yeah, the "Stairway to heaven" guitar solo is really something and I guess this is something really cool playing it on the guitar !!! Great rating Tobi !!! Thanks !!!
Happy New Year. Great video and album. I was going to rank the songs but I can't. Each song is a 10 for me. My 3 favourites are When the Levee Breaks, Black Dog and Four Sticks. However, it was after hearing Battle of Evermore as a teenager that I went out and bought the album. I already knew Black Dog, Rock and Roll and Stairway to Heaven so seeing that those songs were on the album made it an even easier purchase. When I first heard Battle of Everything, I thought it was the best song I’d ever heard. One by Metallica and Nirvana’s Smells Like Teen Spirit had a similar affect on me. Could be an idea for a video: songs that blew your mind on first listen. Cheers. Have a good one.
I think my top 3 favorites might be similar as yours !!! I would probably choose "When the levee breaks" and "Four sticks" as my 2 favorites !!! I like your idea about songs that blew the mind on 1st listen !! Yeah, that could be a good topic for a video !!! Thanks for your thoughts kiolasmash and have a good one too !!!
