    It's all about the music...

    out on the tiles
    nightflight
    when the levee breaks
    nobodys fault but mine
    fool in the rain
    dyer maker
    in the evening
    rain song from song remains
    rock and roll from how west was won
    in the light

    this list is subject to change and does frequently. an easier list is which zeppelin song is your least favorite...i can't think of any.
    Oh dear dad
    Can you see me now
    I am myself
    Like you somehow
    I'll ride the wave
    Where it takes me
    I'll hold the pain
    Release me

    Yeah, kind of humorous :)

    Nice lists though all. I don't think you can pick a bad Zeppelin song though...

    Love the way everybodys avoiding Stairway like the plague!

    Yeah, kind of humorous


    And utterly ridiculous.It is the classic 'Better Man'/'Jeremy' , devoted fan snobbishness. Just because a song is overplayed or 'most recognised' does NOT make it a bad song.A great/classic song is a GREAT CLASSIC SONG regardless IMO.Just because I don't like 'In My Tree' very much(multi gasps and no doubt imminent keyboard villification)doesn't make me an any less worthy PJ fan.

    I would never claim Stairway isn't brilliant. The structure of it, the way it builds to an absolutely orgasmic climax is sheer genius and unrivaled by any other epic rock song in my opnion. But I still wouldn't put it in my personal 10 favorite Zep tunes. Maybe it is because I have heard it too much. I still crank it whenever it comes on the radio, but I very rarely listen to it when I'm progamming my own tunes anymore.
  • AnonAnon Posts: 11,175
    i'm not a huge Zeppelin fan but here you go:

    Babe i'm gonna leave you
    the ocean
    no quarter
    in my time of dying
    gallow's pole
    ramble on
    heartbreaker
    going to california
    bring it on home
    Achilles Last Stand

    Not thrown out there as hate because someone leaves off their list....if I had to chose ten Led Zepp songs to listen....and 10 only....it would be these 10....simply because I like them better...not because it is cool to dismiss another song. As a great song, Stairway is probably more deserving of that title than the songs on my list....I am just fonder of the ones on my list.
