[edit] Cover

I removed the sentence "The psychedelic colours were not actually intended by Jimmy Page, they were the result of a printing error too late to avert before the album's release." that seems to be an urban legend (there's no "printing error" that would produce this effect). I'm also removing for now the mention of Jimmy Page "disliking the cover". If anyone has an authoritative source, please provide. RodC 23:41, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Hey Lady

What about the song "Hey Lady"? --Crackthewhip775 (talk) 21:52, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

No such song exists. Vonbontee (talk) 15:12, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

[edit] "Receiving mixed to negative reviews upon its release, 'Houses of the Holy' is considered[who?] to be one of Led Zeppelin's weaker albums"

Cite this. Who says it's one of the band's weakest? This seems to be a highly subjective statement. I'm no fan of Robert Christgau, but he did give the album an A grade on his music site. And as you state, Rolling Stone named Houses of the Holy as one of the top 500 albums of all-time. Personally, I like Houses of the Holy better than any other LZ disc. And many of the cuts have gotten plenty of airplay over the years. After all, the album did go to #1 in the U.S. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cwoodw1 (talkcontribs) 18:55, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

[edit] Genres

While during the timeperiod 70s-80s Hard Rock and Heavy Metal were seen mostly as the same thing, nowadays the two mean very different things. Many of the Hard Rock/Heavy Metal bands from the 70s and 80s have had an incredible impact and influence on modern metal, while other bands, Led Zeppelin being one of them, did not serve as a major contributor to metal and contributed more to simple rock. I would consider removing Heavy Metal as a genre for this album, any thoughts? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.74.137.240 (talk) 19:27, 5 May 2011 (UTC)
