I'm really digging Led Zeppelin III right now, I'm mostly used to hearing LZ's more blues based stuff like Heartbreaker, When The Levee Breaks etc. but I have to say I'm really digging Page's acoustic talent right now.

While I do not believe in the satanic background that has been painted for LZ, I do somehow believe they decided to play along on the satanic myth and that is why so many of their songs predominantly feature lyrics of mythological origin sometimes referring to demons.

You can hear songs of a truly mortifying aspect on this album like "Friends" or "Hat Off To (Roy) Harper", excellent rhythmic/percussive sections like "Bron-Y-Aur Stomp" and "Gallows Pole" or the bittersweet puppy love of "Tangerine", I think "Immigrant Song" despite the opening should be saved for later since most people probably already have heard that one extensively, but once you've properly listened to Led Zeppelin III, give a listen to "Immigrant Song", it really puts everything in a nice perspective.

So yeah, I'm really digging Led Zeppelin III right now.
