So I guess anyone that knows me knows that I am a Zeppelin fan and is always willing to debate the finer points of the band and their influence. So when going through the record collection I thought that I would go with III since it was released in 70'.
As Zeppelin albums go this one plays an important role in the whole stack for sure.
When the album was released it was given a tough grade by the press but that would have allot to do with the fact that when you have been built up so high everything is graded with a fine tooth comb. Yes the album did have a more subdued feel than the previous albums, although acoustic songs were on other albums this album didn't have the aggressive feel.... But as a wise man once told me they can't all be Metallica's "Master Of Puppets" every time. And so in the same way the fans needed to realize that they would not get "Whole Lotta Love" on every album.
I dig this album and there are some great songs on it, for instance "Immigrant Song" who can argue with this song....? No one.. especially when you come from the land of the ice and snow.
Another song that sticks out for me is "Tangerine" damn this is a fine song it has the complete 70's feel to it for sure.
Anyway I will sit here and list the whole album song by song since I dig it all, I suggest you take the time to listen to this amazing album.
Another cool thing about the record is the spinning wheel cover it is interesting in it's own way, but I wouldn't judge the album on the cover... kind of like a book.

Beatles were bigger and a bigger influence and more important
I think we are all entitled to our own opinion.
