1001 Albums Summary

Black Dog and Rock and Roll is a powerful 1 2 punch. Pure rock music. Battle of evermore has not aged well or maybe was always bad. Shitty mandolin. Zeppelin without drums is much worse. Stairway. Flutes or melotron at the beginning? Out of tune? Misty Mountain Hop has such a terrible verse section. Perhaps it’s redeeming quality is that it makes you so excited to listen to the rest of the song which is very good. Highlights are baby baby baby do you like it and I really don’t know oh oh oh oh oh. Robert Plant special. Going to California is another Robert plant special and not as shitty of mandolin. Would not have been made better with drums as battle would have, but still a weak track. Bridge kind of sucks. If it came out today I would still like it but I wouldn’t like battle. When the Levee breaks is good but is playing the blues, so bad. This is why I don’t really get it when people say JPJ was a great bass player. Same to page. What are we doing here? Great drum beat and just not tight at all. The bass goes in the turnaround though. Great song overall of course. 15/20
