Led Zeppelin – Physical Graffiti

Jim Coleman: OK, I admit it, I grew up with a pretty healthy diet of Classic Rock. Zeppelin was the centerpiece of this, and Physical Graffiti was the album that I just latched on to. The fusion of rock, blues and experimentation opened me up, gave me ideas about making music in different ways. Under the classic rock umbrella, I was split between this album and Black Sabbath’s Paranoid. Paranoid feels harder hitting, and closer to my (still existing) teenage angst. But I decided to go with Physical Graffiti due to its expansiveness.
