Led Zeppelin had a huge hit in 1973 with Houses Of The Holy album.

Every single song on this album is so amazing, it's hard to pick a favorite

On this day in 1973, the album was just beginning a 2 week residence at the number one position in the UK.

The LP also scored the number one position in the US. Every single song on this album is so amazing, it's hard to pick a favorite. The album was the fifth studio recording for Led Zeppelin, released in March of 1973.

With so many great tunes, it's disappointing that only 2 tunes made in on the singles charts in the US - D'yer Mak'er peaked at number 20 and Over the Hill and Far Away topped out at number 51.

A bit of trivia - the girl on the cover of Houses Of The Holy is Samantha Gates. She was 6 years old at the time. She was climbing on the Giants Causeway located in Northern Ireland.

Let's go Over The Hills And Far Away for this week's Classic Rock Pick!
