if you're not taking advantage of quarantine to carve/whittle your own Object it's probably never going to happen

I've often thought that The Object anticipated the mobile phone by several decades.

This is an amazing record where every song (except "Royal Orleans") has flashes of tedium about 80% of the way through - not because the band's energy is flagging, but because they're trying to goose the songs past their natural lengths.
Presence is also the least culturally saturated Zep LP.
I was visiting a woman who had all of the Zeppelin CDs except for this. "Oh, you don't have Presence!" "What's that?"

I think “Achilles’…” is perfect. No flashes of tedium there.

"Tea For One" is my favorite Zep closer.

I think this album has perhaps the weakest *songs* of any Zeppelin album (not that there aren't also flashes of genius, ie Achilles), but even when the songs aren't thrilling, the machine powering through it all, the band, is still a remarkable thing.

Did Turrican leave ILM? Also, I like Robert Plant a bunch, but I think his is at least a reasonable perspective.

"Nobody's Fault But Mine".
I'd never heard this album until a couple of days ago. I can't say I like it very much - despite the best efforts of JPJ and Bonham. "Achilles Last Stand" is good but it's really a bit too prog metal for my tastes - I find some of it really clunky. The rest of the album just isn't very memorable.

I'm mad? One person thinks "Royal Orleans" is better!

“tea for one” is dreamy and incredible

"Tea For One" and "Hots on For Nowhere" on two ends of their spectrum are marvelous; the latter is top ten Zep imo.
