No. 17 Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin (1975)
Zeppelin had never been critical darlings in their 1970s heyday, but by the time Plant, Page, Jones and Bonham released this sprawling double LP, even their naysayers had to acknowledge their power and musicianship. Featuring some of their most gorgeous ballads, as well as stylistic detours like the rockabilly throwback “Boogie With Stu” and the Eastern-influenced classic “Kashmir.”
