Intended for Prog Related, but perhaps this particular song is actually adequate for a Prog Poll anyway. However, 4 distinct versions of the same song, all great for me and have a really hard time choosing my favourite one, which do you like better? And since from time to time I see people including some sort of "Joke" options, I throw in the rap sampled version of the song

However, I like the original one because it's got the original orchestrations and the drums are really wonderful (actually, I'm not really sure if this song feature real orchestrations or they were done on keyboards). I like the original 70's live versions because they add some nice sounding guitars that are lacking (or barely audible) on the original version. I like the Unledded version because that one certainly has a string ensamble playing on the song, and it's got a bit more variation, and also has some nice guitars, but I don't like that we get a bit less of the main theme (which contradicts my liking it to have more variation, actually), and I'm not sure about the drumming, the 70's ones have some killer powerful drumming, here it's replaced by some ethnic drumming that gives it a different feel. The version of celebration day is the heaviest on the use of guitar, which also sounds great, and some of the melodies have sounds like being played by a chuch organ instead of a string enssamble. Which one I prefer, I'm not yet sure.

The original. But that Unledded version is really amazing too - as is the entire album and project. Weirdly enough, I was in a period in which I finally *got* Zeppelin, was deeply into their music, when that Unledded project came out of nowhere. It was everything I wanted it to be at the time, and more. A really great album.

Yeah, I really love the unledded album too. Amazing versions of all songs, some dramatically re-worked. The only one I didn't really like at all was "No Quarter", which for me was totally destroyed. I wish "Rain Song" had been included on the CD instead of that one.

Really!?! Haha. Even though I love the original version of No Quarter - as well as the live version on The Song Remains the Same - I loved the new version as well. Absolutely perfect, for me, at any rate :-)

Original, but also looking foward to "Driving Through Kashmir" which I feel could have some potential of me liking it more.

Original studio gets my vote, but the poll could have also included the excellent cover version by Kevin Gilbert on the Thud bonus disc...

The Sex Pistols!  Wink  Yes, they really did it on their reunion in the 90s.  Sorry, I don't have any link to it.  In all seriousness, nothing beats the original, yet I voted the Unledded version simply because I like Middle Eastern music a lot and thought they added a new and appropriate dimension to it.

Shame on you, you left out the Dixie Dregs version on Bring 'Em Back Alive.  I prefer the original, but it's a close second for me.
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Oh well, I didn't expect this one to be so one-sided (though perhaps I should have expected the original to win from the beginning). However, I thought about including only Led Zeppelin versions, or closely related (as on the Unledded album). The Puff Daddy one I added mainly as a joke, but if I remember well, it's actually related to Zep, since I believe Jimmy Page was somewhat involved with it, he played the guitar, and I believe he actually appeared on the video (though I don't really know how it works about Page playing on the song... if it was actually just sampled from the original, or the music was played again, or what). By the way, I find it rather difficult to choose one of the versions, since I really like them all, and they are all different enough to be enjoyed for their own reasons (Puff Daddy not included, though). However, I guess my favourites would be among the original and the Unledded version, and given the lack of variaty on the voting, I'll be going with the Unledded version.

Oh well, perhaps I would need to give it a listen again, but I'm not sure I would find anything I didn't before. The original No Quarter is just perfect and wonderful, the Unledded version just sounds like noise, and all the melodies and riffs are buried into it.

Did you see it as it was originally aired on MTV? That MTV special? 'Cause it looked like it was recorded live, but in the wild. (Or a set, haha.) Here, I found the video of it. Around the 2 min. mark you start to see it, recording in a forest or something. I thought it was a really fantastic opening for the Page/Plant special: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXNfq2mq-hg

The Puff Daddy version, which adds the groove that the original version tragically lacked.

Oh, that would have to be the Godzilla version merely for its shear audacity! Actually, it was laughable, but Page gave it some pedigree by playing on it.
