Led Zeppelin Houses Of The Holy Allover Print Girls T-Shirt

Houses Of The Holy was a stylistic turning point in the lifespan of Led Zeppelin.

Guitar riffs became more layered within Jimmy Page's production techniques and departed from the blues influences of earlier records. In the album's opening opus, "The Song Remains the Same", and its intricate companion suite, "The Rain Song", Robert Plant's lyrics matured toward a less overt form of the mysticism and fantasy of previous efforts.

Houses of the Holy also featured styles not heard on the first four Led Zeppelin albums. For example, "D'yer Mak'er" is a reggae-based tune; "No Quarter" features foreboding keyboard sounds and an acoustic piano solo from bassist John Paul Jones; "The Crunge" is a funk tribute to James Brown; and "The Rain Song" is embellished by Jones on mellotron.

The album's closing song "The Ocean" is dedicated to "the ocean" of fans who massed to Led Zeppelin concerts.
