Another gem from Storm Thorgerson (most of the credit should arguably go to his design partner Aubrey Powell it would seem). Photographed by Powell at Giants Causeway, Northern Ireland. Hasselblad 500C with an 80mm lens. The cover was rated #6 on VH1's 50 Greatest Album Covers in 2003. The other-worldly quality of this cover makes it stand out more so than other Zep' albums. And the music, in my opinion, places it in the top 3 albums of their entire discography. But Houses of the Holy is definitely their shining moment cover-wise.
