George Harrison DARED Rock's Golden Gods To Write A Ballad…DID THEY EVER.. | Professor of Rock

Known to many as hard and heavy rockers, Led Zeppelin has written some of the greatest pulse-pounding classics of the past half-century. But at one point they were actually called out by George Harrison for rocking too much. Challenged to bring it down a few notches, guitar virtuoso Jimmy Page composed a sonic soundscape so lush and surreal that one of rock’s premiere producers said it defied classification.WHEN Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Paul Jones and John Bohnam wrote the 70s album track the rain song, they put the greatest poets on notice.

By 1972, Led Zeppelin had garnered massive commercial and critical acclaim thanks to four strong albums and a host of legendary live performances. Their current offering at that time, the untitled Led Zeppelin IV, went on to set the bar as one of the greatest rock albums in music history. According to the RIAA, it has sold 24 million copies worldwide.
From top to bottom, it was a monumental album...

Flying high from Led Zeppelin IV’s insane popularity, the band had become rock’s biggest draw... surpassing even the Stones and the Who. In fact, the following year Zeppelin would smash the single-concert attendance record set by the Beatles with over 56,000 attendees. There was no doubt, Led Zeppelin was well on their way to rock immortality and expectations for their next album were through the roof led zeppelin rain song reaction.

Zeppelin’s fifth album, Houses of the Holy, was actually recorded in multiple locations... technically beginning in December 1971 at London’s Island Studios with a rough instrumental mix of No Quarter. Months later in April 1972, they gathered at Mick Jagger’s country estate Stargroves to record, with the help of the Rolling Stones’ Mobile Studio. But they weren’t happy with the acoustics of Mick’s manor and opted to continue work at Olympic Studios instead.
