It's my favourite Zep record. But I believe I have made it even better.

Long-ass post (2/2): Aside from the obvious fix of putting the the eponymous track on the right record, I feel I've answered Zeppelin's own qualm of balancing it out with “Dancing Days.” They now work on opposite ends of the record, allowing for listeners and fanatics alike to breath between them and enjoy that scrumptious seasonal cycle. This record works in cohesion, motif and musicality and allows for a more complete listening experience then the vanilla version. Yeah, I know, it sounds absolutely bonkers and pretentious, but just listen for [yourself](https://open.spotify.com/user/12102453049/playlist/4hLJbHqynu6LoyKmWOPwQp?si=rhl8PWYlQ9C8WAAGNA4_Eg) and then decide. You can think I'm wrong, of course, and blather on about the sanctity of the artist's choice, but just as you disagree with me (a guy who views switching halfway between records as blasphemy), I disagree with Plant, Page, Jones and Bonzo on their choice of ordering the LP. This redux is a result of experimentation and theorycrafting my own idea of the perfect *House*s record, an album that was just plagued by switchbacking sentiments and indecisive ordering. At the very least, I think this order allows for a discussion on what we prefer in records: thematic and narrative straightforwardness or mixed and off-kilter story-telling. Both approaches work, as it's sort of a discussion of merits between The Godfather Part I and Pulp Fiction. In my case, I'll take The Godfather Part I and my rework of *Houses of the Holy* every. Single. Time. Edit: Added link to Spotify playlist.
