...1970's acoustic "III" album.
Physical Graffiti came out in spring 1975 and was a massive seller, staying at no 1 on the US charts for much of that year. It is a colossal record and most Zepp fans will have either this or the "Runes" album as their favourite. Mine is actually "Houses", but hey, you pay your money and take your choice. CUSTARD PIE
Zeppelin raid Bukka White's "Shake Em On Down" for the rythym track, although with a clever bit of keyboard ... ...rocker. The "Custard Pie" that Robert Plant is singing about appears to relate to a certain part of the female anatomy. I'll leave you to work it out for yourselves.
THE ROVER
Taut, driving, menacing tight but loose. The rythym section hold the song down whilst Jimmy Page spreads a glorious guitar over it. Robert sings of joining hands and dark sides of the globe. It's a plea for unity. Bloody brilliant it is too. Legend has it that the guitar ...
Advantages: This album show tha band and the very beginning Disadvantages: The albums did not produce any main stream hits.
Queen is the debut album the band Queen. It was released in July 1973 and was the building blocks of for what was to come. It was recorded at Trident Studios and De Lane Lea Music Centre, London. De Lane Lea Music Centre was a brand new recording studio and Queen were asks to try it out to make sure it was all set for the big bands of the time. This was a massive break for Queen as recording time was not cheap. The album was influenced by the hard ... ...their multi-tracking effects (Something that Queen used for a lot of albums) as synthesizers. Also John Deacon was named as "Deacon John" on the album as the band through it would make him sound more interesting. (O well) I love this album (as I do will all queen albums) but this is the one that started it all. The vocals were raw by a very flamboyant Freddie and the guitar was welded by a talented and different axe man Brian. Keep Yourself Alive ...

Review of Queen - Queen
Advantages: Extended Jamming, superb musicianship, brilliant songs Disadvantages: Long drum solo
...the time when this was made back in 1972 very few acts had released a live album so this was a major gamble, so if you think about it for an album that came out about 35 years ago to still be regarded as an all time great should give you some idea as to how good an album this is and always was.
This is an album that hits you right from the start and continues to pummel your senses right til the end but with the inclusion of the three original encores ... ...on the original version of made in japan were from this monster of an album which had just been released, but going back to the material on this album itself it consists mostly of what are considered purple classics, the opening number highway star is one of those instantly recognizable driving anthems that features heavily on rock radio stations and rock compilations, the next song child in time is a completely jaw dropping excersise in excess, ...
Advantages: Aerosmith at their 'root's/ Some great songs! Disadvantages: Too 'bluesy' for you? Recording quality is quite poor.
...line of the first track, Aerosmith is so full of energy that it seems like the band knew they were at the start of something big. Good Evening People, welcome to the show says it all. However, the album was released amid "less than total national joy," says guitarist Joe Perry. It was largely ignored by the music press, and the few critics that did notice Aerosmith appeared to dismiss the band as a second-rate imitation of the Rolling Stones or the ... ...the Aerosmith members were much more technically proficient musicians than the New York Dolls, and their sound was much more hard-rock based than that of the Rolling Stones. As a result the album didn't sell many copies and the band was almost dropped from Columbia Records. However, the poor sales were more a result of laziness on Columbia's part than a reflection of the quality of the album itself. Also, check out the band's logo on the album cover, ...
Advantages: Varied and quirky Disadvantages: Ironic in places
This is another album that triggers childhood memories for me. Being Irish and having rocker parents I was brought up listening to bands like Lizzy 'cause that was just my family. This is one of my favourite albums because of the uniqueness it possesses and its reference to Phil Lynotts problems. It has songs that remind me of friends, family and anything else in my life, because it is a relatable kind of album and that's why many people love it.
... ...this is a cracker of a song. Upbeat and quirky, a definate favourite of mine. There are joky songs to be had too on the album, 'S & M' is hilarius and shows the bands willingness to show they were never afraid to put themselves put there for the purpose of their fans enjoyment. 'Got To Give It Up', is probably one of the only songs that gets me right in the heart, the irony of it is nearly unbearable. The fact that Phil died of the effects of 'not ...
Excellent performance, tonnes of steam, ventilated ironing board (*)
