Agree about Unledded, it was a current release when i was getting into this band and i think the second LZ-related album i bought (after IV) or maybe even the first. i haven't heard it in years but i listened to the studio recording of No Quarter over the summer with the Unledded version in mind and it was disappointing. I wish there were more classic rock dudes who were trying to be Najma Akhtar.

Sting couldn't have written them b/c the song has no awkward polysyllabic word.

I think this poll mostly gets it right, but I can't stand Dancing Days - I find it dull and plodding, and it sounds like they tried really hard to write a single. The short harmonized guitar solo/bridge is probably the only thing that saves it for me.

Not uniquely, no.

I’m the biggest fan on my block but I have 0.0 pct interest in hearing Clarksdale or Unledded

I forgot about the Page & Plant version of Rain Song, and also forgot that I have the Gallows Pole CD single with Rain Song as a b-side.
That middle eastern version of Four Sticks kills me.

I just listened to this album and Over The Hills And Far Away is indeed a worthy winner.
