Bron-Yr-Aur (Physical Graffiti)
Dazed & Confused (I>TSrtS live version)
No Quarter (Houses of the Holy>TSRtS live version)
Over the Hills and Far Away (Houses of the Holy)
Since I`ve Been Loving You (III>TSRtS live version)
Stairway to Heaven (IV>TSRtS live version)
Tangerine (III)
The Battle of Evermore (IV)
The Song Remains the Same (Houses of the Holy>TSRtS live version)
Whola Lotta Love (II>TSRtS live version)

Most of the songs included in the live album "The Song Remains the Same" take on a vitality and energy superior to the studio versions.

How to choose?

Rain Song
Achilles Last Stand
Going to California
Ramble On
Immigrant Song
No Quarter
Good Times Bad Times
When the Levee Breaks
Fool in the Rain
Since I've Been Loving You

Could have picked many others.
You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

I'd like to amend my previous selections with further choices and commentary:

Black Mountainside (thank you, Bert Jansch)
Babe I'm Gonna Leave You (thank you, Anne Bredon)
Heartbreaker (the greatest sloppy lead of all time)
Since I've Been Loving You (for Bonham's squeaky foot pedal)
Gallows Pole (Jimmy on banjo!)
Bron-Yr-Aur Stomp (hey, who doesn't love a song about a dog?)
Hey, Hey What Can I Do? (why this isn't on LZIII is mystifying)
Black Dog (that riff)
Battle of Evermore (and Sandy Denny)
When the Levee Breaks (the very definition of "progressive blues")
The Rain Song (beautiful composition)
Over the Hills and Far Away (the acoustic intro)
In My Time of Dying (because Blind Willie Johnson, Part 1)
In the Light (JPJ's best turn on the synth)
Bron-Yr-Aur (perhaps Page's best acoustic composition)
Ten Years Gone (A song I never get bored of)
The Wanton Song (John Bonham, 'nuff said)
Achilles Last Stand (did I mention John Bonham?)
Nobody's Fault But Mine (because Blind Willie Johnson, Part 2)
Travelling Riverside Blues (Robert Johnson, of course)
...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined
to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology...

Thanks, did that. Can't seem to actually delete a post though... which is worth bearing in mind -- will have to think twice before saying anything stupid, rude or blasphemous!!

Maybe I'm cheating a bit here, but most of my fave Zep songs are from live versions or off-shoots:

(Live versions from The Song Remains The Same)
No Quarter
Achilles Last Stand / 
The Rain Song
Whole Lotta Love

(Bootleg from 1990s Page/Plant tour)
Lullaby (The Cure Cover, because they had Porl Thompson on 2nd guitar)

(BBC Sessions)
Travellin' Riverside Blues
Immigrant Song

(Original album tracks)
In The Evening
Since I've Been Loving you
The Lemon Song

...damn, run out of slots!

keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen

For me it's difficult to choose just ten so I'll just choose ten off the top of my head while probably leaving a few great ones off:

Your Time Is Gonna Come
The Lemon Song
Tangerine
Stairway To Heaven
Over The Hills And Far Away
In The Light
The Rover
Kashmir
Achilles Last Stand
In The Evening

Five more:

Dazed And Confused
Bring It On Home
The Song Remains The Same
Carouselambra
I'm Gonna Crawl (Out door is very underrated imo while 4 is a bit overrated again imo)

Hi,

To be perfectly honest, and I still have the CD's and albums, I can not even decide which song I like better. All in all, I can go back to the first album, and fall away with a smile and love it, as much as I can the later stuff, and ...

I would say that there are few bands when/where you can say that over all of their life, they were outstanding, and I think it is more than fair to say that Led Zeppelin was one of these bands. And their complete canon of music ... is one that very few bands can ever sit and compare to!
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

Not forgetting Custard Pie and of course Achilles Last Stand.



Right .
just a suggestion :
If not because at the golden age of the vynil it was necessary that the first song of each side was captivating

True. I usually listen to full length albums so I still expect album openers to draw me in. Tongue
