The Ocean is definitely not a filler because Zeppelin doesn't have fillers.

[@booifojoe]

Yeah, they have fillers but this is not one of them.

[@BBaldwin]

This isn’t filler. This song is still played on classic rock radio regularly to this day.

[@OneThousandHomoDJs]

The line "now I'm singing all my songs to the girl who won my heart" refers to his daughter. When they did this song live a year later, Robert changed the line to, "she is only *four* years old, it's a real fine way to start."

[@jimbo4110]

Actually it's "three years old".

[@carol-mariefleming8689]

Yes, but what OneThousandhomoDJs is saying is 1 year later, his daughter was 4 years old, so he sang "she is only 4 years old".

[@OneThousandHomoDJs]

@@carol-mariefleming8689 Yes, Carol is correct. TBH, I just didn't want to type any more than what I did. :) Chalk it up to laziness.

True. Robert Plant's son Karac died from a horrible infection when he was only 5 years old 💔😭 truly, a tortured artist.

[@vernhoke7730]

If you're doing "Physical Graffiti" next, it'll blow your mind. It's my favorite Zeppelin album and contains what, in my humble opinion, their best track "Kashmir". It's Robert Plants favorite as well.

[@gerhardbraatz6305]

My favorite also.

[@robertreeves993]

Don't forget "In my time of dying"...top 2 on that album😎

[@brewstergallery]

@@robertreeves993 Oh yeah and Ten Years Gone and The Rover and Trampled and ...

[@juliemanarin4127]

Yes it will!!!

[@michaelfried3123]

I 100% agree, Physical has been my all time favorite Zepp for decades now... In My Time of Dying is gonna blow their minds!

[@onemotherpucker]

The OCEAN is the audience at their shows...its a tribute to their fans. The best Zeppelin album is always the one you are listening to right now. 🙃👍

[@austinfilmsthings5285]

IT is coming. Led Zeppelin is an experience. Physical Graffiti is Led just showing off, taking the victory lap, giving you the soundtrack of your life.

[@PeterTea]

Actually Zeppelin is basically a power trio with a singer. It’s truly amazing how many sounds they can get from those three guys. And then when you throw Plant’s vocals on top of all that… ain’t nothing better.

[@lesblatnyak5947]

The greatest rock band ever.

[@chrisboerger465]

Houses of the Holy is my second favorite, Physical Graffiti number one. Both showcase the band at their most creative. You guys are in the thick of the best part of the journey. If you haven't yet heard Kashmir, prepare for your minds to be blown.

[@brewstergallery]

Ned from Spain here again to say HEY La n Che. Maybe it's because I'm a drummer but this is THE TRACK for me. A lot of drummers would play the main riff too busy. I've heard demos of this with Bonzo figuring the beat out and playing too much. In the end he decided to lay out except for hi hat clicks when the riff repeats. The "swingin' " finish makes me smile every time and you know they were havin a party with it. The whole LP showcases every instrument, the creativity of each musician and it's perfectly balanced. Every song is it's own thing and I will never tire of listening to it after 50 years. On to the double trouble of Physical Graffiti !!!

[@AirplayBeats]

Hey Ned!! I agree with everything you said.

[@jimmoore8951]

Nailed it, Ned from Espana. This riff, along with When the Levee Breaks and Rock and Roll were the quintessential Bonzo riffs for us young wannabe drummers, where we could grab our big sticks and piss the neighbors off. Bonzos nuances are always a little trickier than they first appeared.

[@brewstergallery]

@@jimmoore8951 Thank you Jim, and I hope you're still drumming. Yeah, Levee was key to my learning to syncopate. Others incl. Black Dog, Good Times.., Whole Lotta, Immigrant, Achilles, I am a happy Bonzo University alumni Forever.

[@Cosmo-Kramer]

@@AirplayBeats To the fellow with the Expos hat on, you'll be surprised to hear this, but *"The Ocean"* would win any poll of Zeppelin fans asking them to pick the best song from this album. Also, I'd like to temper your expectations for the next album. Yes, a lot of Zep fans love it and revere it. But to me it not one of their best albums. It has quantity, in that it's a double album. And for sure some good songs. But other than one masterpiece on it, *"Kashmir",* which I actually rank as not just Zep's best song, but the best song in the history of Rock, the rest of the album is good, not great. And there's even some tracks on it I don't care for. This is coming from a guy who has ranked Led Zeppelin as my favorite band (tied with Electric Light Orchestra, aka, ELO) since the mid '70s. But hey, I hope you dig the album more than I do. You certainly won't be alone, if you love it. I just don't get the fuss over it. To me, I'd rank the albums this way: 4, 1, 2, HOTH, 3, PG (the double-album), ITTOD, and in last place, Presence. Cheers.

[@matthewmarana4573]

This tune is a tribute or hats off to their audiences. "Singing to an ocean, I can hear the ocean roar!"

[@larsschless]

yes & I think also a tribute to his children & missing them/his family while on long long tour dates.

[@brooksboyd1959]

One of the greatest guitar riffs ever

[@stewpot6998]

Great song, great album. The drum fills at the end of The Ocean give away the secret that Bonham is a big band drummer in disguise. Thanks guys.

[@wordsleydave]

Guys ...I've got em all, and this is my favourite album of theirs. If I'm gonna introduce anyone to Zeppelin, then I play them this. Great band. But my fave band is Queen (especially their early stuff) . I recommend you listen to the 'Prophets Song' by them.

[@davidmel2158]

Yea man HOTH is indeed my favorite & my favorite Zep song is The Rain Song. Thanx for mentioning that ..... great reaction guys!!

[@turnsufficient4971]

Nice Rain Song story ! ❤ Walking in the park the other day baby -- whatdaya think I heard ? Crowds of people sitting on the grass -- listening to The Rain Song...

[@lespaulguy63]

whoopie cat! lol

[@classic-kool]

Everybody is entitled to their opinion, but this song is not a "filler" by any stretch of the imagination.... Spoke to soon before you heard the song in it's entirety IMHO ..

[@edwardcapobianco2975]

Me and my brother bought this album for my sister 50 years ago. I was 10 years old. I have never grown bored of it. The Rain Song and No Quarter just take you away when you listen to those tracks. I still cant decide if this or Physical Grafitti are my fav Zep albums . Either way you cant lose. I cant wait for you guys to hear Physical Graffitti, too many great songs to list. Its so damn good, you bros are in for one hell of a treat!!

[@dickcnormis1444]

The ladies really enjoyed.

[@Fuphyter]

The Rain Song.....goosebumps always

[@turnsufficient4971]

That quick change for the outro is a throw back to 1950s rock and roll and Plant is doing a bunch of "doo wop" style lyrics all over it - several lines Plant ooo ooo ooo ooo dibbity dibbity doo wop -- ah ha ah ha ah ha

[@henriettaskolnick4445]

I don't think this song is "filler", but I appreciate that you changed your opinion after hearing the entire song. I understand how hearing the Beastie Boys' sample this in their song could make it sound too familiar but Zep always takes the unexpected path. This song was the band's "thank you" to the audience as the enormous crowds looked like an ocean from the stage and all the moving and grooving made it look like the waves. Robert used to introduce it from the stage as for the fans - or something like that.

[@edwardcoit9748]

It does get better.

[@onemotherpucker]

BULLSEYE

[@mike04574]

These guys calling great songs filler is a disgrace

[@henriettaskolnick4445]

@@mike04574 To be fair, they did change their mind.

[@richarddow8967]

@8:45 Another definition of best band, if you could only take one bands discography to an abandoned island, which would it be? There are some amazing albums and songs, but as a whole? The range of music, their seriousness in the craft, all 4 are a Master's master in their craft- but they love it ad it shows. Imagine a world where no internet, no iPhones, instead every minute is spent with an instrument in your hands...when we texting, they were practicing, and strumming, and dreaming. And they were students of muisic and it's history- they respected it. The cherry on top...they sang of love the most, if humanity is around in a 1000 years, I think Led Zep will still rise to the top for representing that whole era, and maybe more.

[@robbob5302]

Would be a toss up between Zeppelin or Pink Floyd. I might have to flip a coin! 😛

[@richarddow8967]

@@robbob5302 Ya, Pink Floyd in almost every category you can sort of fabricate they edge out Zepp or match em. For me each member poured their soul into some songs and as insanely powerful comfortably numb is, I take Zepp in splitting hairs.

[@marymargaretmoore9034]

The Ocean live at Madison Square Garden in '73 is great; you should check it out too. Looking forward to you guys doing Physical Graffiti.

[@larsschless]

Hard for me to listen to the studio version after this live performance... from this same series of concerts, great to also watch MMH live

[@spookytruth9307]

"we're reacting" is super insightful for real. Keep doing what you do exactly the way you are doing it

[@TheRagratus]

This album and the next one, "Physical Graffiti" (which is a double album) were written at the same time. Hence the song "Houses of the Holy" isn't on the album "Houses of the Holy" but is on "Physical Graffiti". All SIX sides are smoking.

[@PeterTea]

“Oh it’s so good!!!”

[@2AOnlyWay]

The Ocean Rocks this way!! One of my favorite LZ tunes✌🏼👏🏼

[@pabloalvez915]

Houses of the Holy is a wonderful album, I particularly love the guitar sound, it has a glittering quality to it. Cheers and hugs from Uruguay 🇺🇾🤗👍

[@TexasMagnolia]

Guys, This has to be seen Live!!! Jimmy’s dance moves are amazing.

[@jaynethomas7380]

Lol Jimmy had amazing dance moves! There's a video of him at 13 yrs old on the BBC with his skiffle band. The other members were quite a bit older. He was so comfortable and had moves even then. They interviewed him and he said he wanted to be a "biological researcher". 🤦‍♀️ 😂😂😂 Well he did his share of that! Airplay should check out that video. ❤️

[@bethdealmeida6789]

Yes! And Bonzo does a little singing! Love it!!!

Oh man! Not a filler in my book, but to each his own. I love that it ends the album with this. Check out the live version. I agree, it my fav Zep album. I separate their work into 2 phases. This album is the peak of phase 1 for me. Phy Graf starts phase 2. That's just me, everyone has their own take on it & that's cool!

[@Greg-io1ip]

There's no artificial fillers on this album. Zeppelin has at least 5 albums purely organic; no bleached flour, no MSG. Just enough sugar with lots of funky spice.

[@jaynethomas7380]

No way that song is a "filler". LZ didn't do fillers and I find what you said rather offensive. But I'm someone who believes LZ can do no wrong and I'm probably overprotective. Lol

[@targetshootr]

Love this song and the doo-wap at the end. A foot stompin' tune. According to Bonzo they did "four already" before this take. The next album has one or two that were planned for this album. With a ton of good music it musta been hard to decide what goes where.

The title track "Houses of the Holy" didn't make the album, it's on their next studio album "Physical Graffiti" - it's a double album with about half new songs and half from previous projects.

[@darrylbennett4297]

They recorded this album in Mick Jaggers house, at a point in the first guitar solo you can hear the phone ringing in the background, kinda funny, there’s no way any engineer would allow that in the final recording now, but it was a great take so Jimmy kept it.
