IMMIGRANT SONG?????????? Seriously, if I had another choice from Led Zep III besides Tangerine (which is the quintessential Zepper), I'd get Since I've Been Loving You, but COME ON!!!!! -------------

Most of Zeppelin has worn off of me over the years... but here are a few that remain un-worn off of me... and in no particular order....
Honourable Mention: When the Levee Breaks, Battle of Evermore, Over the Hills and Far Away, Rain Song, Achilles Last Stand, How Many More Times, The Rover, Gallows Pole, Tangerine, Thats the Way... ++

ooooh this is good - pretty impossible as Zep only ever recorded a couple of bad tunes but I love a challenge so....
1. Ramble On (for the bass playing) 2. Gallows Pole (for the layering of all those stringed instruments and the pacing) 3. Rain Song (for jpj's awesome 'string' arrangement and Jimmy's playing is just sublime) 4. Kashmir (just for that ascending 'scale' and Bonham's metronomic playing, sometimes less if definitely more ) 5. Ten Years Gone (for the oodles and oodles of guitar overdubs - genius arrangement) but I also want to include Battle for Evermore for Sandy Denny's voice, Lemon Song for the mega bass playing, No Quarter live from Song Remains the Same for JPJ's eerie piano and Jimmy's superb solo, The Rover for its groove, Trampled Underfoot for the clavi, Boogie With Stu for the vibe, Bron Yr Aur Stomp cause it's just so infectious, What is and what should never Be for the panning guitars, Achilles Last Stand for, again, the great guitar arranging by Jimmy and I'm Gonna Crawl for Jimmy's brilliant solo (almost the prefect epitaph for the band) Like I said - it's impossible! The quality control was amazing, there really are very, very few bad songs - personally I can only think of The Crunge and Hot Dog as the only really throwaway things they ever did and I even have a soft spot for those, especially Hot Dog. They were simply an amazing band

What a load of self-concious nonesense!! Stairway To Heaven hardly mentioned by many people... Inverted snobbery going on here!!! For me: 1.Stairway To Heaven IV is a superb album, one of the greatest ever. -------------

Achilles last stand The Battle Of Evermore, Babe I'm Gonna Leave You Kashmir Stairway To Heaven, I heard a live version a while ago, I think it was from the live album The Song Remains The Same, but I'm not sure, their is a drum-break/bass rif just before the final part, that has to be the best 5 seconds in rock music ever. Dazed And Confused.
I like most of the accoustic songs the best, but they ussualy don't end op in my top 10 lists ------------- I'm always almost unlucky _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Id5ZcnjXSZaSMFMC Id5LM2q2jfqz3YxT |

I saw this thread earlier but just could not decide on a best 5 but ive just listened to 3 led zep albums and have decided on Babe Im gonna miss you - Robert's voice is just so seductive and passionate on this track Black Dog- ive always loved this one, once again its Robs vocals that do it for me! Carouselambra- I love the repetitive synth sound on this track and its a real upbeat song (unusual for Zep) Rock and Roll- This just rocks!! Whole Lotta Love- I love the spacy bit in the middle and I know this tune has been over played but its got to be the best riff ever!! I know if i listened to the same albums tomorrow id say a totally different selection

In mo particular order: No Quarter Babe I'm gonna leave you, Dazed and Cofused Gallow's Pole Battle of Evermore Since I've Been Loving you that's six , I know
next five : Rock'n Roll, Black dog , Achille's Last stand, Stairway and Ramble on. I hads no Zeppelin Cd's until those mini Lp sleeves came out recently (fairly cheap too ) . So i had not listened to my vinyls for 10 years and that was a welcome rest from Zeppelin. |

Soooooo many is right! In no particular order: In My Time of Dying Since I've Been Loving You No Quarter Dazed and Confused The Lemon Song The Rain Song Over The Hills and Far Away Stairway to Heaven Moby Dick Gallow's Pole Very difficult to stop. The only Led Zeppelin song I don't care for is The Crunge and it is not so bad that I skip it. I probably play LZ I, Houses of the Holy and Physical Graffiti the most.

Led Zeppelin made six great albums (the first six IMHO). Though the
others weren't bad at all either. So this is really hard to pick the
best but I'll try. Achilles Last Stand Kashmir Since I've Been Loving You Thank You Friends My favourite LZ album would probably be LZ III. -------------

| Houses of the Holy is actually the only LZ-album I still listen to every now and then, so I guess my favorite songs come from that album. I'm not a big fan. |

Even favorite album is pretty well impossible to judge, because of the incredible diversity from one to another. Perhaps the most polished, and actually "best" woudl be Houses of the Holy, but very hard ot say. Don't disregard Robert Plant's solo either. Robby Blunt is an awesome guitarist, and in his early work he still sings very well. Not to mention Phil Collins in his very early work. Walking into Clarksdale is great too, with Plant and Page, and I have a PAge solo, which isn't bad, but Maybe not worth it. JP Jones is apparently amazing, and rather progressive. ------------- Collaborators will take your soul. |

I have to say that Carouselambra is a cool song in it's own right, as well as Fool in the Rain (with that groovy riff). I think that In Through the Outdoor is an underrated album, and that IV is an overrated album, anyone else with that? -------------

In through the outdoor is very different from the other Zep albums, but an excellent album still. It's interesting to hear JP Jones' impact when he has more input. even if you don't lie it, it's worth it if only for "All of My Love." I would say it's underrated, not many people put it on top, at least not outside of the smaller fan base we see here. I would say that III seems like the most groundbreaking album, where they steer away form harcore bluesiness, and move into something new. It seems a lot less polished than IV to me though, but I still love it. It does start stronger than it ends though. ------------- Collaborators will take your soul. |
