1. I've always marveled at this song (master work) in juxtaposition with the rest of their works

Not that Jimmy Page does not have master riffs, as he does in much of their other works. He does and more... Not that Robert Plant's vocals and John Bonham's drumming are not similarly stand-outs. But this is an incredible piece that even Zeppelin detractors typically love, and not unlike many of Pink Floyd's works, has the elements of multiple songs in one.

Such a talented band, with so much internal turmoil and personal tragedy... Much of which I really didn't understand until more recent years...
