I don't know. My first impressions weren't that great, but man on repeated listenings it just gets better and better. Blue Train is a great song, excellent performance. I think there was some great writing, songs like When I Was a Child, When the World Was Young, Shining in the Light, Most High, even House of Love are really outstanding. For me the mix on Plant's vocals was much too dry, but listening to live performances of the same songs, its just incredible. The 98 performance of When the World Was Young in Paris is just fantastic.

YES! The lyrics really are just brilliant, and to me seem to harken back to a 50's rock and roll sentiment of high school dances with the lights turned down low, hahaha. Very similar in a sense to The Honeydrippers project at least in subject if not mood.

You know a song I always liked that has remained in relative obscurity is Thru With The Two Step off of TPOM. I think Plant's vocal performance on this song was just absolutely beautiful, gentle and powerful at the same time. Sure some of the synth stuff hasn't aged all too well, but a lovely a song all the same.

While it might be an interesting idea to be able to "edit" songs at your own will, it is kind of a big slap in the face of the original artist(s). Part of me loves the idea of taking out the parts that annoy you in an otherwise great song, or adding in alternate versions. I would kill for a remaster of ITTOD with a remixed Carouselambra and the extended ending of All My Love with the guitar solo, but at the end of the day, I am not the person that made the music. I'm just here to enjoy what they DO give me.

Five? That's just ridiculous, and I can't in good conscious chose anything less than 10: No Order: -In the Mood (The Principle of Moments) -Big Log (The Principle of Moments) -Ship of Fool (Now and Zen) -29 Palms (Fate of Nations) -I Believe (Fate of Nations) -Another Tribe (Mighty ReArranger) -Freedom Fries (Mighty ReArranger) -Tin Pan Valley (Mighty ReArranger) -All the King's Horses (Mighty ReArranger) -Please Read the Letter (Raising Sand) I might catch some flack for saying this, but I think that the Raising Sand version of PRTL is heads ands tails above the Walking Into Clarksdale version. One of Plant's most restrained performances since The Rain Song. Just breathtaking.
