Physical Graffiti, 1975
Written by Jimmy Page and Robert Plant
This song, about teenage groupies ("Said you dug me since you were thirteen / Then you giggle as you heave an' sigh") has some hard-rocking blues licks, bending notes, and a crashing rhythm section that's pure muscle. I am not a Led Zep superfan by any means, but I think for the most part their studio work represents the work of the greatest rock band in terms of pure talent. For me, this track is one of their weakest. A lot of "Ooh yeah, that's right" and the subject matter aren't helping, but really I'm just not engaged with the music here. Blues rock, drooling over teens. Been done.
