On this day (24 February) in 1975, Led Zeppelin’s Physical Graffiti was released. And after all these years, there is no greater symbol of Led Zeppelin’s power than this.
As a double album of studio material it is a classic of the form, equal to those from the dawn of the rock era in the late 1960s – The Beatles’ White Album, Bob Dylan’s Blonde On Blonde and The Jimi Hendrix Experience’s Electric Ladyland – and other milestones from the 1970s, such as The Rolling Stones’ Exile On Main St., The Who’s rock opera Quadrophenia and Pink Floyd’s The Wall.
