(Feb 2013) Just finished listening to the Led Zeppelin oevre in series. While many songs have reached their saturation point with me, I tried to listen as if I were hearing them for the first time in the 1970s. Still freakin’ awesome.

Favourite album: Houses of the Holy

Favourite song: Kashmir

Special sauce: Jimmy Page

Compared to expectations: same
