Four pages and not a word about Plant's bawling vocals or cod-mystic/borderline-misogynistic lyrics.... Mind you, I don’t know why a big-leg woman wouldn’t have no soul; that line always puzzled me. And who was telling him so? Maybe they were referring to a particular big-leg woman… still, it does seem unkind of Percy to repeat such scurrilous and essentially unprovable rumors about a lady. Clearly, he had a type. I love his bawling vocals, and - much as I may prefer the three albums that followed (for a variety of reasons) - his voice did change sometime during the making of HOTH.

But then someone squeezed his lemons, dry. All the way down his leg.

I was relatively late to Zep. My brother, 13 years older, was not interested; he liked The Birthday Party, Neubauten, The Jam, The Beatles and cringed at the denim rockers mostly. I think it was partly an aesthetic thing. I never heard them growing up.
Certainly, when I graduated to taking music seriously in that pretentious teenage manner we had, I lumped in Zep with the likes of Motley Crue, Guns 'n' Roses et al: wearing silly trousers, long hair and bandanas, whiny vocals and air cunnilingus. Not my thing.
Then I heard IV a couple of times whilst working at Beanos (massive 2nd hand record shop - largest in Europe at the time) and slowly it wormed its way in. For me, Evermore was the gateway: those slightly shimmering, warped vocals and plucked strings just had a huge contrast to the heavy braggadoccio of "Black Dog".
I've never got on with "Rock n Roll" although I imagine live it must have been fucking phenomenal to say the least. Same with MMH, which has this leaden, slightly monotonous tone that I've never really appreciated.
It's all about Going to California for me - beautiful campfire phrasing that never grows old. StH is fabulous of course, but everyone knows that.
I much prefer H of The H, LZ III and PG for personal reasons, just as I prefer the flawed ambition of Electric Ladyland to Are You Experienced.
