Led Zeppelin - Houses of The Holy REACTION/REVIEW

[@rangersbaseball2]

the rain song is my favorite song of all time. makes me feel like I'm floating everytime I hear it

[@David-iv6je]

It's fun to play. It requires a re-tune of your guitar.

[@space_1073]

Mine too but the live version 😂

[@youreatoilet]

The MSG '73 version with The Song Remains The Same before leading into it is on another level!

[@davidschecter5247]

"No Quarter" gets better all the time.

[@sicotshit7068]

The ocean is their fans, & this song is a tribute to the fans. The oceans roar is the applause from the fans, & knowing they made their fans happy, feels so good.

[@bigneon_glitter]

A person's first listen to "Rain Song" is a story to tell their grandchildren.

[@goldenageofdinosaurs7192]

Quarter means ‘mercy.’ The song is basically about men riding through a cold, snowy night, bearing important (probably military) news & they will ask no mercy (quarter), nor will they give any quarter if you attempt to impede them on their travels.

[@grantbatson7180]

it’s referring to lord of the rings

[@gummyb426]

I figure it's a rooms or lodgings kinda way. Going through the winter with no shelter to deliver the post (in a dramatic way)

[@AhronLong]

No quarter live from the song remains the same movie is probably the best live rendition of any song ever.

[@cotezgold]

…and arguably Page’s best guitar solo ever. As a matter of fact that whole concert Jimmy never sounded better, he was so on point.

[@space_1073]

Absolutely. It’s kinda a shame because I got hooked on the live version first and the studio version just doesn’t do it for me in comparison.

[@juliemanarin4127]

Absolutely!!!

[@hippierip6695]

THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE WOOOO LONG LIVE ZEPPELIN

[@negsterarchive7911]

Arguably the best Led Zeppelin album

[@David-iv6je]

Best composition I'd say. For pure energy I think LZI was their best.

[@negsterarchive7911]

@@David-iv6je Interesting. Honestly I wouldn’t argue with anyone who named any of their first 6 albums from LZ1 to Physical Graffiti as their favourite

[@lyndoncmp5751]

@David-iv6je For energy its got to be II.

[@thebordenasylum7726]

Pink Floyd- The Wall pt 1 & 2 Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge- My Chemical Romance Sean Lennon- Friendly Fire Elliott Smith- From A Basement On the Hill

[@hrusl9569]

Recommend highly K by Kula Shaker, awesome psychedelic rock

[@bigneon_glitter]

Absolutely. _K_ is a classic.👍

[@AnnavanderHoek]

Omggg my favv🔥🔥🔥

[@Paul-tp9vf]

I sometimes think this is my favourite album, and then I remember II & IV. But still, I sometimes think this is my favourite album.

[@nathanhunt3104]

King Krule - 6FBTM The Sundays - Reading Writing and Arithmetic Metallica - Master of Puppets Hum - You’d Prefer an Astronaut

[@bigneon_glitter]

Seconding _The Sundays_ 👍

[@sicotshit7068]

No Quarter means No Mercy, I believe this is a song about after a battle in Medieval times. An amazing song, yes Zeppelin is great at making you feel their songs, not just hear them. That’s one of the many reasons they are the greatest, & why millions of us have loved them over 50 years.

[@xEskel]

Sigur Rós - ( ) (best winter album there is) Kurt Vile - Bottle it in (singer songwriter, very creative and personal lyrics, good autumn listen) Chat Pile - Gods Country (heavier stuff, great album) Father John Misty - Pure Comedy (tied with kurt vile as my favourite singer songwriter) Jon Hopkins - Singularity (one of my fav electronic albums, also has classic piano parts, has worked a lot with Brian Eno for example) Sun Kil Moon - Benji (great singer song writer album)

[@PaulWalker-hz6zp]

"The ocean" is the live audience Robert sings to.

[@mouathdahbour6753]

You gotta listen to Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Allelujah! Don't Bend! Ascend! next this album is so underrated

[@bobsbigboy_]

Its very popular

[@alan73795]

"The Crunge" is a playful homage to the James Brown classic funk strut. Definitely the novelty song on the album, but still fun. Also, where's that confounded bridge?

[@dbclassic8733]

Listening to it through your ears actually really elevated it for me as a total album

[@bryantorresart]

Check out the live performance of The Rain Song from their MSG concert album, The Song Remains The Same. Even better than the studio version imo.

[@space_1073]

1000%

[@dj_matty]

Sun Kil Moon - Ghosts of the Great Highway I will request this until I perish or Imogen Heap - Speak for Yourself, it’s a pop masterpiece that has been sampled many times throughout the years

[@Linda-y9h]

Yup, the rain song is the best song ever. ❤

[@AnnavanderHoek]

Please react to the best and most underrated rock album in history ‘the man who sold the world’ (1970) by David Bowie 💕

[@danallshaw1131]

Loved that James Brown" shuffle.😎🎸🎸🎸🎸.

[@AnnavanderHoek]

Also if u haven’t ‘electric warrior’ by T. rex I think it’s 1971

[@three11creatures]

Here for Dyer Maker!

[@juliemanarin4127]

EVERY album is unbelievable!! After the albums try their live performances!! YOU MUST SEE NO QUARTER LIVE AT MSG IN 1973...FULL ONE! ALSO THEY DID The Song Remains The Same/The Rain Song live from there too...all are a MUST SEE!!

[@Alfie02]

Their best album and my favourite album of all time is next. Enjoy 😊

[@lajoiasensational]

Heyyy boo, I think it’s time for you to react to Kelela! ‘Take Me Apart’ is a great start and then after that ‘Raven’

[@itrywayytoohard]

Now that you have done this album you need to check out All Them Witches - Dying Surfer Meets His Maker

[@gilbertzurita]

Rain Song Amazing

[@pigonthewind7908]

Oh I definitely will recommend one album from the 70s. It is “Over” by Peter Hammill

[@mattium]

If I may recommend an album, I will vouch infinitely for Sprain's The Lamb as Effigy, genuinely my AOTY of 2023

[@AlexFandino-xi3oo]

At some point you need to watch the live version of The Ocean! You'll get the name

[@grantbatson7180]

the whole live at msg album!

[@juliemanarin4127]

The Crunge is a tribute to James Brown!

[@ZakTheGuy]

Hey Smags, during your reaction of Beach House's Bloom, you said at 9:00 you would do a Minecraft lets-play if the video got 300 likes. The video has 882 likes, yet for some reason I can't seem to find your Minecraft let's play (I would also accept a reaction/review of Hot Fuss from the Killers

[@pedronight2150]

I think the song remains the same is one of the greatest songs ive ever heard

[@Frasierrr]

imagine a Polvo reaction recs: Polvo - Today's Active Lifestyles (Sick sounding early 90s math/indie rock, awesome guitar tone) Swirlies - Blonder Tongue Audio Baton (GORGEOUS unique sounding early 90s shoegaze, sounds like mbv, pavement, guided by voices with twee pop mixed in, so awesome, better than Loveless imo) Violent Femmes - Violent Femmes (Unique folk-punk, early 80s college/alt rock, very catchy) Teenage Fanclub - Bandwagonesque (Really catchy power pop, slightly shoegazey, same label as The Jesus and Mary Chain, My Bloody Valentine) Quasi - Featuring "Birds" (Awesome Built to Spill-esque/Pacific Northwest indie rock, same label as Modest Mouse, Built to Spill, Duster etc) The Breeders - Pod (Unique early 90s alt rock, Steve Albini prod, was in Kurt Cobain's top 3 albums of all time) Slint - Tweez (Sick late 80s post-hardcore/math rock, also Steve Albini prod) Pinback - Pinback (Very chill and creative late 90s indie rock) Modest Mouse - This Is a Long Drive for Someone with Nothing to Think About (Amazing album, basically as good as The Lonesome Crowded West) The Prodigy - The Fat Of The Land (badass big-beat dance music) Guided By Voices - Bee Thousand (lovely 90's lo-fi) Hella - Hold Your Horse Is (Math Rock with the drummer from Death Grips, before he was in Death Grips) Pavement - Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain (Absolutely perfect 90's indie rock album)

[@phagellama2811]

Physical Graffiti now pls

[@MojoPin1983]

Please consider reacting to Jeff Buckley’s posthumous studio album, Sketches for My Sweetheart the Drunk. It contains both studio and 4-track demos of the songs that he was working on for his second album, which he was unable to complete because of his sudden and tragic death. Disc 1 features some of his best work. If you ready to this album, I would recommend including the bonus tracks (which were released on the Australian and Japanese editions, respectively), Gunshot Glitter and Thousand Fold. I hope you’re doing well, man. God bless.

[@bassicdiego]

the crunge is a great song

[@willardv]

The Song Remains The Same version on No Quarter might be the best Led Zeppelin song ever. That album is kind of a must too!

[@PEGGLORE]

Tool's version of No Quarter is best

[@grantbatson7180]

you need to do the whole song remains the same live album at msg in 73 it will change your life seriously

[@jeff-ue2vw]

Ohhhh man Physical Graffiti is their best album the reaction is going to be a movie

[@joshcopley9039]

I think you would enjoy listening to Blind Melon's self titled album.

[@standrew131]

listen to songs of leonard cohen or some frank zappa

[@CoolcatzCorner]

Going to switch it up and suggest an album from 1974, The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway by Genesis :)

[@kevin-kv6tx]

1973 by Seirom (2012) is ethereal and life altering

[@tonybeltran4366]

ah houses of the holy...my favorite zeppelin album. rain song>stairway btw

[@cursedsk1y]

Please react to LITTLE BUSTERS by The Pillows Next! Some other recs: Happy Bivouac by The Pillows (they are both top tier j-rock/grunge albums) I recommend starting with LITTLE BUSTERS though. HIGHVISION and Three Out Change by Supercar (both are great j-rock albums. HIGHVISION is indietronica, and Three Out Change is shoegaze) Everything Will Be Alright In The End by Weezer (great comeback album for weezer with some of their best songs to date)

[@gersphilM]

you can hear an old rotary phone ringing in the background in 'The Ocean' at 1:37 probably need headphones though

[@hotelinjapan389]

Well, if you’d listen to the whole song, you would get what he is talking about. TSRTS. Yes, the rain song is the greatest song ever, musically. But it is tiring listening to you, sorry. Reviews for people with short attention spans. 😂 And I get dizzy just watching you. Sorry, again.
