Your Favourite Led Zeppelin
Mar 22nd, 2009 at 4:44am Alert Board Moderator about this Post! 
Transfering my favourite Zep tracks to my I-POD has given me the opportunity to revisit their albums for the first time in a good while.

I found that my original preferences are the same: I still beleive that Led Zeppelin 2 is their strongest effort.

I have decided to include only their original studio LP's.

What is everyone elses favourite?

Led Zep 2 is always great to listen to, though it's badly recorded (despite the channel switching trickery)

I've always had a soft spot for Presence.

Graffiti is a bit over blown, but side 1 is a bloody belter.

I must admit that I have never thought of the 2nd album being poorly recorded - sounds OK to me.

I have never really got into Presence - the same goes for Pysical Graffiti. The latter just doesn't work for me. I like Custard Pie, The Rover and Trampled Under Foot. Aside from those, nothing really grabs me. Kashmir has a killer riff, but plods along and is way too long.

I've always really liked In Through The Out Door - especially In The Evening and Hot Dog. I really enjoy Page's scorching and muffled Scotty More-style lead work.

the first cd is good and that double live album with the black cover that came out in the late '70's or early '80's is also good.  i think it is called, the song remains the same.  wpdh plays 3 songs from them every weeknight at 7pm.  for some reason they are hugely popular here in the hudson valley.  i come and go with them these days but they did write some great songs.

Difficult to answer, I voted for Physical Graffiti I really love that album from the first note but I like all others... LOL so far no votes for LZ IV?

According to Jimmy Page Physical Graffiti, and specially Kashmir defines LZ

I liked every song on the 4th,  except I never cared for Four Sticks & Going to California, this album (or any Led Zep album for that matter) reminds me so much of smoking weed, the same with Pink Floyd's Dark side of the Moon.

Definitely III.  Nobody beats Page on acoustic . . . love the English folk pastoral Hangman's-Beautiful-Daughter thing going, with Hey Hey What Can I Do spliced in there somewhere.

Houses of the Holy a strong finisher too.

what?? no coda in the poll??

FG and Zack are right....nobody beats pagey on the alt tuning acoustics...."That's the Way" is the easiest song to play this side of louie louie, and it really gets the chicks.

III is an acoustic masterpiece. barring plant's whiney vocals (one of the reasons zeppelin never stuck with me like the stones and beatles), it is one of my top 20 albums of all time.

pretty lame album cover tho.

But that voice is an absolutely essential part of the Zeppelin whole, whiny bits and all.   To paraphrase Macca:  it's bloody Robert Plant.  He's a legend.    

It's also interesting there's no clear favorite here.  They're all damn good. (Coda rules!)

I just said it.  Hey Hey What Can I Do.   The title's only said once in the song (at the end: "Hey hey what can I do/I got a woman who won't be true.")  Recorded during the III sessions and originally released only as the B-side to the Immigrant Song single.  Not sure if that was a US-or UK only release.  They didn't do any singles in one of the countries.  Forget which was which.

I know you've mentioned this before, HOS. That you don't like Going to California.....I usually, basically, have very much the same taste in tunes as you do, no matter what the group. But we are poles apart as far as this song goes! It's one of my fave Zep tunes......ahhhh, to each his own, though, eh? Smiley

IV is my favourite one - highlights for me are When The Levee Breaks and Battle of Evermore (with Sandy Denny making it her own)

The first disc of Physical Graffiti is the only one that comes close. I love 'Kashmir' and  'Trampled Underfoot'.

I always liked 'In Through The Out Door' - can't see why so many people wrote it off (maybe the over-reliance on keyboards?). Some great songs on there - All My Love is a gem, Carouselambra (although it goes on a bit) and especially In The Evening.

Always found 'Presence' pretty unlistenable . Liked the 'Song Remains The Same' live album too, although I always draw the line at ten minute drum solos as well as the 27 minutes of indulgent wankery that is 'Dazed and Confused'.

I like Plant's vocals....he is Led Zep's voice.   I also like the way he packs his trousers. 

I saw Plant 4-5 times, and he's a fucking stud muffin. 

I also am the HUGEST PAGEY fan.  I saw his incarnation of Led Zep with the Black Crowes, and they kicked skinny southern ass.  Pagey with the Crowes was AWESOME.

And, speaking of trousers, Chrissy Robinson doesn't pack his.  So, there you go.

That was ONE of my ALL TIME BEST ROCK SHOWS.  And, I've seen it ALL.  I too was saddened that Page and Crowes did not carry on.   Their musical chemistry was VERY SPECIAL.

Hyperbole, man.   There are great guitarists (like the first two on your list) I've never even heard.  Love #3 and #5 though.  Page is up there.   Way up.  But not that up.

"I" gets my vote. Don't listen to LZ much anymore - don't know why - probably Plant's over-the-top vocals.

I like Plant's vocals....he is Led Zep's voice.   I also like the way he packs his trousers.  

I saw Plant 4-5 times, and he's a fucking stud muffin.  

I also am the HUGEST PAGEY fan.  I saw his incarnation of Led Zep with the Black Crowes, and they kicked skinny southern ass.  Pagey with the Crowes was AWESOME.

And, speaking of trousers, Chrissy Robinson doesn't pack his.  So, there you go.

it is the same building that Bernard Fowler filmed his new "New York Time" video at!!











(OK, so it also happens to be where the Stones' WOAF was shot - I know -  but the cool kids today are more up on Bernard's vids than the Stones vids)

my "troubadour" double CD begs to differ...it lists jimmy, jonsie and bozo as playing on the track. if i'm wrong, so is epic records!

The sleeve notes are incorrect, then.

The only person who absolutely insistent on Pages involvement on the track is Donovan himself – he claims that the track went on to influence Led Zeppelins interest in Celtic music.

The only future member of Led Zeppelin present was John Paul Jones, who was involved in most of Donovan’s mid-60’s sessions.

As for the guitar, it’s supposedly a guy called Alan Parker: the drums are played by someone called Clem Cattini.

If it’s any consolation though, Page does play the lead on Sunshine Superman.

Magical Mystery Tour isnt really an album, though - it was an EP. They released it as an LP in the US and fleshed it out with A and B sides from earlier in 1967.

Far from being bad, its mostly brilliant.

another vote here for physical graffiti, though the fourth album comes quite close...

dont know who said they disliked the third album cover, but i always liked it, with the wheel...

i didnt have a problem with plant's voice, but some of the lyrics - yuk! ("yesterday i saw you kissing tiny flowers" - this is a great way to ruin a song). he does get kudos for tackling the lotr in ramble on, though...

that "hey, hey, what can you do" track is on the four cd box set with the crop circles...

count me as another fan of in through the out door, but after that, the wheels fall off the wagon, imo.

congrats to htm for winning gazza's quiz (the buildings are where the waiting on a friend video was filmed)...

i know the doors get a bad rap around here, but the soft parade isnt nearly as bad as some make it out to be (but then again, neither is dirty work). face dances has its strong moments, too (but then, i like who by numbers alot, and think quadrophenia kicks tommy's a$$, neither of which are majority opinions). gazza said what needed to be said re: the magical mystery tour. chalk it up to different strokes, i guess...

Thanks Gazza

just more useless trivia
