10 Heavy Metal Double Albums That Make Us Want to Buy a Turntable | Rocks Off | Houston | Houston Press | The Leading Independent News Source in Houston, Texas
Led Zep's first and only double album of originals, Physical Graffiti is just about the definitive recorded statement from hard rock's greatest band. Recorded over several trying years, the 1975 release featured a broad range of musical styles and ideas.
In addition to the metallic stomp of "Kashmir" and "In My Time of Dying," the lengthy collection also includes folk, funk and everything in between. It may not be a direct refute to critics who strangely maintain that Zep were preening hacks, but it did manage to capture the group's creative high-water mark on wax. Own it.
