Led Zeppelin "Physical Graffiti" (1975)
CLASSIC ALBUM OF THE WEEK
Led Zeppelin "Physical Graffiti"  1975 (UK)
This is Classic Album #750, so it had to be something monumental! Led Zeppelin was the ultimate classic rock band: they were to the 1970's what the Beatles were to the 1960's. This was their only studio double album, consisting of about two-thirds new material (too much for a single album) "padded" with outtakes from their previous three albums for the remainder (of course their "outtakes" are better than most bands' hits). "Trampled Under Foot" was a Top 40 single in America (barely) and "Houses Of The Holy" (title track for their previous album which was not on that album) and "Kashmir" have gotten a lot of radio airplay over the years. But there's so much more great stuff here! "In My Time Of Dying" is one of their best blues performances (Bob Dylan also did this song on his debut album.) The country-esque "Down By The Seaside" sounds kind of like Neil Young and the catchy and funky "Night Flight" seems like it was inspired by Joni Mitchell's "This Flight Tonight": both of those tracks are intriguing outtakes from Led Zeppelin IV. There's also folkie jams left over from the third album. But the most interesting tracks may be the new ones they recorded in 1974: they represent Zep at their most prog-tastic, particularly on the epics "Ten Years Gone", "In The Light" and of course "Kashmir."
