A great arrangement, a weird lead break, a lovely outro and another great example of JPJ/Bonham interplay. Not a standout for me personally, though. Not sure why.

My ranking would be:
Over The Hills And Far Away (always been a favorite LZ song of mine) No Quarter (the live version of this from The Song Remains The Same soundtrack is one of the best pieces of music ever). The Rain Song The Ocean The Song Remains The Same D'yer Mak'er Dancing Days The Crunge
I agree that The Crunge is the worst song, but I do like the music. Robert Plant just annoys me on that one.

Based on what I've read, that was kinda the point. D'yer Maker and The Crunge exist purely to mock bad music cliches at the time. I rather enjoy them on a fun level. For some reason I just don't LOVE Houses of the Holy the way I do other zeppelin albums. Rain song and no quarter for sure. But the other stuff, while i like, I don't LOVE (dancing days, ocean, OTHAFA)/
From a transition standpoint though, I feel the record is very important. It lacks the raw emotion of the first 4 albums, and the well constructed, "complete" feel of the later albums. It just feels in between to me, and as a result lacks identity.
