I'm not generally one to start these types of thread and I figured that the board probably had one of these threads, but I searched and couldn't find one, and figured, that the best band of all time certainly were deserving their own official thread.
LED ZEPPELIN.
They are the absolute greatest, and this thread is in tribute and for appreciating their awesomeness. Come here to praise and talk about this monumental and influential band.
Fuck, they are so good.
Songs of theirs I'm into right now:
How Many More Times
Your Time is Gonna Come
Since I've Been Loving You
Battle of Evermore
Friends
Lemon Song
Gallows Pole
The Rover
In My Time of Dying
that is exactly what i was thinking what did people think when they first heard COMMUNICATION BREAKDOWN i mean that is pure ROCK ........
I guess for me I think about it more with Good Times and Bad Times, just because thats the first song on there. To have never heard hard rock, and put on that album and to hear that... Holy god!
you couldn't swing if you were hangin' from a palm tree in a hurricane.

I remember when I was about 13 years old, talking about this with a friend who was just getting into Zeppelin. We were listening to the box set and talking about what it must have been like to hear Good Times Bad Times exploding out of your speakers for the first time.
I've also asked my dad what it was like when Zeppelin first got popular. (Both of my parents have great taste in music, they both like PJ too.). He said it wasn't until the second album that they really got famous in America. He said Whole Lotta Love was HUGE. Everybody flipped out when they heard it for the first time. After that, everyone went back and got into Led Zeppelin I.

That makes sense. Yea, my parents have pretty good taste in music too. Definitely helped shape my taste in music. Except sadly, my dad was abroad for much of the '70s and never really got into Zeppelin. My mom loves 'em though. And shit have my parents caught some of the coolest shows back in the day... My dad saw Cream, and also so Jefferson Airplane open for the Doors!! :eek:

agreed i'm getting goosebumps just thinking about that and you know it can never ever be repeated that sense of having music come exploding out like that, i'm sure parents must of been like what the hell is that as they wen't running into their son's/daughters rooms i know my dad did on a few occasions.
Jimmy's appearance on the dvd where is performing Black Mountain Side is just mind-boggling, and my second favorite part of the whole dvd. The favorite, for me is Bonham's 19 minute solo. He pours his soul into that.
Zeppelin are my second favorite band all time, and the Beatles are first. Dead Can Dance would come in at #3 for me.

"A consistently good band works all the different elements well. A song has to appeal sentimentally, intellectually, physically, viscerally, and dig deep down into your soul and suck you into it. And after that, of course, it'd be a matter of taste." ~ Kim Thayil from Soundgarden

Yea, I was just in awe for both those parts of the DVD. Definitely my two favorite parts right now.

what is everyones thought about down by the seaside
Its an ok song, not one of my favorites. I think the best part of the song is when it gets faster in the middle.
Its not a bad song by any means, I just have to be in the right mood, for it.
Edit: What do you like about it?

Well it has a pj sort of thing going on, it be a great song for them to cover.

Maybe. I see something like Rock n' Roll being a more likely cover for PJ, but what do I know? They play some crazy covers. Anyway, I'm out for the night. Peace.

I'd love to see them cover something like Living Loving Maid, or Misty Mountain Hop. That would be very cool
"...though my problems are meaningless....that don't make them go away...."

Misty Mountain Hop happens to be one of my least favorite Zeppelin Songs, so I kind of hope not. But, I agree, they could probably do a mean cover of Living Loving Maid.

Just listening to Presence. This album is entirely underrated I believe. It has so many freakingly good songs:
Achilles Last Stand
For Your Life
Candy Store Rock
Nobody's Fault but Mine
Tea is for One
This really is one hell of an album.
Jimmy's best guitar album. The performance of For Your Life at the December gig was fantastic, better than the album version. One of my favourite Zep albums, its criminal that its so underrated
"...though my problems are meaningless....that don't make them go away...."
Let's resurrect this thread...I'm looking back at some great bands that I have 'best of's' and I'm wanting to purchase actual albums.
Looking at buying Quadrophenia, Paul's Boutique, amongst others.
Now this will be an impossible question to answer. What Zep's album/s should I buy??
List three that you rate in order.
Reading this thread Physical Graffiti is well recommended and LedZep 4 is the often talked about classic.
You SHOULD get EVERY LZ album but i here's the 3 i would suggest,(TODAY).
Physical Graffiti
Led Zeppelin III
Led Zeppelin I
Houses over Zeppelin III for me. And as much as I love Physical Graffiti, if I'm responding to someone that actually has to ask the question "which Zep albums should I buy?", I'd have to recommend the fourth album over Physical Graffiti. Or not. I dunno. They're all pretty great. I look forward to the PG reissue next month.

If you're just getting into Zeppelin, Mothership is one of the better "best ofs" I've heard with their full sound represented, but I'd really push you to get the BBC Sessions to learn the band, unless you're set on proper albums, in which case maybe try doing what I didn't: proceed in the proper order of release.

If you listen to the off-timed drum lobs on that one, you'll apreciate how difficult it must be to play that song...!

That song is fucking incredible. The whole song, drums, guitars, everything is so ahead of its time its unbelievable.
I can't even imagine what it was like when that album came out, and people heard this for the first time...

yeah true, or even Fool In The Rain. They made a good attempt at it with Robert Plant at that gig a couple of years back
