Led Zeppelin

brianugly · 10-28-2009, 10:24 PM

Ok I searched this forum and found a thread about your favorite album...but what is your favorite song? Just choose one, and explain why you like it.

Here goes:

Dazed and Confused, off of How the West Was Won this is the song where I was like...whoa, jimmy page is my hero.

Alright, everyone else can have a go.

zeppelin101 · 10-28-2009, 10:28 PM

Since Ive been loving you Led Zeppelin live or not both great. Very passionate song that is the perfect bridge between blues and rock

brianugly · 10-28-2009, 10:30 PM

Agreed!^^

Bluesyzep · 10-28-2009, 10:44 PM

Easy for me. The Rain Song. Simply beautiful! The one song that got me to pick up a guitar and ironically the one song I've intentionally not learned to play. Keeps it special but one day.....

Rico · 10-28-2009, 11:06 PM

What is and what shall never be.
Just lovely.

Shithead · 10-28-2009, 11:11 PM

The Rain Song or The Song Remains the Same.

mikemack · 10-28-2009, 11:16 PM

Celebration day live from the SRTS sound track. Roberts voice and Jimmys playing are excellent.

80's Rocker · 10-28-2009, 11:22 PM

Rock and Roll. It just gets me pumped every time I hear it. It is simple yet amazing with an awesome riff. Plus it's extremely fun to play on the guitar and its so easy to improvise to, I love to add in 80's licks to the song when I play it!

TenYearsGone · 10-29-2009, 07:09 AM

You really expect me to pick one? It can't be done. I'll tell you what I'm listening to at the moment; Bring It On Home. Great song.

That is one of my favorite Page riffs. It is perfect from coming out of the acoustic part.

Definately. It's so mellow and bluesy with the harmonica and deep, rough vocals and then Page comes in and rips it on guitar. Perfect.

Slick · 10-29-2009, 08:04 AM

When the Levee Breaks for me

jimmypagekills · 10-29-2009, 08:15 AM

Oh jeez, this is gonna be hard. Live Version of the Ocean, not TSRTS, or How the West was Won, but just some video I saw on the Mothership DVD. That or the Rain Song. Shows that Page was flat out on another planet when It came to songwriting.

ElhazGuy · 10-29-2009, 08:33 AM

Kashmir for the win.
Deep, tense, melodic and full of rich textures.

Perfect to me.

River · 10-29-2009, 09:00 AM

The live Whole Lotta Love medleys. On How The West Was Won, the I'm Going Down Slow cover. The BBC sessions bootlegged on vinyl with the cigar-smoking pig label include a simple, raw, and rather clean version. The "Live on Blueberry Hill" bootlegged version defined "hard rock ('n' roll)" for me. Then there's the last encore cover of Fats Domino's "Blueberry Hill".

I love modern, "original" Zeppelin tunes, but I love them kicking ass with 40's and 50's oldies the most.

I absolutely love Bring it on Home live...when they play boogie chillin, and hello marylou...and especially the killer riff that comes in right after the bluesy start. WOW!

brianugly · 10-29-2009, 09:13 AM

And PS I honestly believe if you listen to Led Zeppelin, you can't choose one favorite song. SO keep that in mind when you post! Just say one you like at the moment, or one that is important to you like River and the Rain song.

Exactly what I was thinking. It took me a little while to decide on rock and roll. I also really love Bring it on Home, Over the Hills and Far Away, Whole Lotta Love, Heartbraker, Misty Mountain Hop, and of course Stairway to Heaven.

80's Rocker · 10-29-2009, 01:15 PM

That is not to say that I dont like ALL Led Zeppelin songs, those are just my favorite.

Boleskinehouse · 10-29-2009, 01:54 PM

I can't pick one.

Deftone · 10-29-2009, 02:04 PM

Great ones already mentioned, plus I always liked "Hey, Hey, What can I do?"

It was a "B" side on the "Immigrant Song" 45, and now you can get it on the box set.

viper007 · 10-29-2009, 05:45 PM

Black Dog.

Love the turnarounds when JB stays in 4/4 time and JPJ and JP turn the
riff over...

zeppelin101 · 10-29-2009, 05:48 PM

You know I really like the rover but bring it on home is great. God all their songs are so good. Page was truly one of a kind

454C3 · 10-29-2009, 05:59 PM

Lately it has been Tea For One, alot like Since I've Been Lovin You.

+1,000,000

This could have been my post, word for word.

My favorite LZ song since I was about 6 years old (28 years ago) and I've intentionally avoided learning how to play it.

tin dirigible · 10-29-2009, 06:47 PM

Lets see...... The first 4 albums and most of Physical Graffiti!!!!
But here's a few of my standouts....

Out On the Tiles....

Ramble On....

Travellin Riverside Blues....

Ten Years Gone....

brianugly · 10-29-2009, 07:40 PM

Have you guys ever heard Robert Plant sing down by the seaside with Tori Amos? Beautiful...

Just try and pick one that inspires you Bole.

benjammin420 · 10-29-2009, 07:54 PM

My favorite Zeppelin songs tend to be the bluesy numbers:
-Since I've Been Lovin You
-Lemon Song (killing floor)
-When the Levee Breaks
-You Shook Me
-Tea For One
-I'm Gonna Crawl
-Bring It On Home
-Traveling Riverside Blues

then theres
-Dazed On Confused
-Stairway to Heaven (i dont care how cliche it may be, the song still moves me everytime i hear it. I learned how to play it entirely, and then stopped playing it cause it was losing its meaning)
-Moby Dick
-Thats the Way
-Goin to California
-Down By The Riverside
-Houses of the Holy
-The Rover
-The Wanton Song
-Sick Again
-In the Light
-In the Evening
-Kashmir
-Ten Years Gone
