#278 Led Zeppelin, 'Houses of the Holy' (1973)

Enter the mighty Led Zeppelin! Last time around this was also the first Zeppelin album to be featured. This, their fifth album was the first of their releases to actually have a title and not a number and thus the first of a new era, of sorts. Its iconic artwork was created by the legendary Hipgnosis, the company responsible for most of the iconic Pink Floyd album covers, amongst many others. Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones had both installed home studios, which allowed them to develop more sophisticated songs and arrangements, arriving at recording sessions with further developed ideas than previously.
