HOUSES OF THE HOLY

This album is less interesting for me, despite having the very good songs "No Quarter" and "The Rain Song", on which Jones shines as a keyboard player. Other good songs from this album are "The Song Remains the Same", "Over the Hills and Far Away" (with very good acoustic guitars) and "The Ocean" (with backing vocals by Bonham). The commercial song "D´yer Ma´ker" is very known and still played in FM "Oldies" Radio Stations in my city. "The Song Remains the Same", "The Rain Song" and "No Quarter" are better in the live versions included in their "The Song Remains the Same" live album, IMO.

Their next album is much better than this, which sounds like LZ was in a "temporary stagnation".
