Your favorite ZEP song

[CatOfDaVille]

I like all the songs that had already been recorded by other bands, then Zep recorded their own version and claimed as their own. Those are all really great.

:flush:

Yes, there are a few instances of their earlier stuff borrowing from previously recorded blues songs. There are also several songs where Plant's lyrics are homages or inspired by other music, but that's true of most rock bands. There were a ton of songs that they did give credit to the original songwriters or listed them as "traditional arranged by Page/Plant".

However, the vast majority of their stuff is completely original and phenomenal.

That version of How Many More Times from Earls Court is truly amazing...

All I know is that when it comes down to making out you put on side 2 of Led Zeppelin 4. If you screw up and play something off Physical Graffiti it will end in an awkward sexual trist.

 

[AustinTXCat]

My personal fave.

The funny part of that quote from Fast Times at Ridgemont High is that he says that and then puts on Kasmir which is on Physical Graffiti not IV.

OP already had the best one (The Rain Song) but honestly, was not a huge Zep fan back when they were big, and having been compelled to listen to their main 6 or 8 songs flogged to absolute death over the last 40 or 45 years, couldn't care less if I never heard another one.

Mark Rattner couldn't get anything right. That's why Stacy Hamilton took da' bone from Damone.

Over the Hills and Far Away for me!

Dude...

I'm going to go ahead and assume that this was sarcastic.

 

[HymanKaplan_rivals48997]

That being said, I can't listen to them anymore. Decades of listening to it, all through my "growing up/drug" years, constantly on the radio, and then the second wave of fans.

It's just too GD much. Really more of a comment on the over-saturation, than the music.
