Led Zeppelin topped the charts again in 1973 with Houses Of The Holy, which features legendary tracks such as "The Song Remains The Same" and "No Quarter" while also showcasing the continuing evolution of the band's signature sound with the reggae-tinged "D'yer Mak'er" and the funk jam "The Crunge" The album has been certified diamond by the RIAA for sales of over 11 million copies.<br/><br/>In 1968, John Bonham, John Paul Jones, Jimmy Page and Robert Plant formed Led Zeppelin, one of the most influential, innovative and successful groups in modern music, having sold more than 300 million albums worldwide. The band rose from the ashes of The Yardbirds, when Page brought in Plant, Bonham and Jones to tour as The New Yardbirds. In 1969, Led Zeppelin released its self-titled debut. It marked the beginning of a 12-year reign, during which the group was widely considered to be the biggest and most innovative rock band in the world. <br/> <br/>Led Zeppelin continues to be honored for its pivotal role in music history. The band was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1995, received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2005, and a year later was awarded with the Polar Music Prize in Stockholm. Founding members Jones, Page and Plant - along with Jason Bonham, the son of John Bonham - took the stage at London's O2 Arena in 2007 to headline a tribute concert for Ahmet Ertegun, a dear friend and Atlantic Records' founder. The band was honored for its lifetime contribution to American culture at the Kennedy Center Honors in 2012. In January of 2014, the band won their first ever Grammy award as Celebration Day, which captured their live performance at the Ertegun tribute concert, was named Best Rock Album.

Elton John och Bernie Taupin - ett av historiens mest kompletta låtskrivarpar. Man skulle kunna vakna kallsvettig ur en mardröm där slumpen gör att de aldrig träffas, men som tur var gjorde dom det. 1973 hade de ett kreativt flyt som bara vällde fram. "It just flowed" säger Bernie nu. När inspelningarna av "Goodbye yellow brick road" startade hade föregående albumet "Don't shoot me I'm only the piano player" inte hunnit ut till skivbutikerna än. <br/><br/>De begav sig till Jamaica för att spela in plattan, men problem uppstod och de fick bege sig till Château d'Hérouville i Paris, där de var mer hemtama. Då hade antalet låtar hunnit svälla ut och det fick helt enkelt bli ett dubbelalbum. Inspelningen av plattan tog två veckor! Det var som sagt flyt. <br/><br/>Hela albumet genomsyras av en nostalgisk känsla som är enorm. Vid koncentrerad lyssning är det nästan som att se en film, Taupins ord gör de magnifika låtarna levande. Inledningen - den 11 minuter långa "Funeral for a friend/Love lies bleeding" sätter prägeln. Det är hisnande. Sedan rullar det på med "Candle in the wind" och "Bennie and the Jets" och fortsätter på samma höga nivå tills de sista tonerna av "Harmony" tonat ut. Magiskt. <br/><br/>Remastringen till denna utgåva av "Goodbye yellow brick road" är mycket lyckad, ett lugnt och naturligt sound. Och det är detta mästerverk värt.
