Favorite Led Zeppelin song?
« on: 23 July, 2017, 08:56:23 pm »
If I never hear Stairway to Heaven again that would be fine with me but I do love Led Zep.
An utterly fantastic rhythm section (the Keef and Charlie are ace too but in a completely different way) that as a kid I didn't really appreciate but do now.

So what's your favourite tracks?

Mine are:

The one that sounds like what people think Led Zep are like:

And one that might suprise people who don't really know their catalogue (and my personal favourite)

Ten Years Gone

I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that.

It depends how I'm feeling.  Sometimes it's When the Levee Breaks, others it's Whole Lotta Love.

Seems to me they were all pretty good, I wouldn't argue against any of those choices

I can't pick a favourite. I do quite like Stairway to Heaven, anthem though it is. But in contrast to many here, I can't stand Kashmir. It sounds to me like a really bad hangover. In fact, I reckon it gives me a hangover just hearing it.

When the Levee Breaks.  It's just insane.

Probably Battle for Evermore. But maybe Rainsong or No Quarter, or Going to California.

But you'll get a different answer tomorrow..

Exactly.

It's the premise behind the book, "High Fidelity".  Ask a man to compile his top 10 <insert item here> and it will eventually frazzle his brain.

My favourite Beatles track can range from Please Please Me to A Day in the Life.  Two songs that bookmark their entire musical careers and development.

Today, it's:

Good Times Bad Times. For many reasons - I love the guitar part, I love JPJ's mistake that the producer kept in. And of course, Bonzo's kick drum triplets.

Ramble on.

Black dog.

I like the idea of a daily change in faves, Bobb.
I'm a huge Zep fan, but I have to limit my listening to a certain extent as it's all 'hallowed ground'. And although extremely unlikely, at least this time round (as compared to c 1977 etc.) I really don't want to get tired of listening to them.

Right at the moment the Immi grunt song, coz Miss Ham bought me the t-shirt while she was there and I'm off there ^^^ with Mrs Ham next week. I suspect it will have to be surgically removed from my brane by the end of the week.
