I'd like to say a big THANK YOU and wish a WHOLE LOTTA LOVE to everyone who posted on Gentle and Giant's "Where is Psychedelic Paul" thread while I was OVER THE HILLS AND FAR AWAY from here. It was a real HEARTBREAKER reading of how the good members of ProgArchives were left feeling DAZED AND CONFUSED by the COMMUNICATION BREAKDOWN caused by my sudden disappearance, which was NOBODY's FAULT BUT MINE. We've all had GOOD TIMES, BAD TIMES, especially just lately, during this BLACK DOG economic Depression we're all currently going through, which can sometimes leave us feeling TRAMPLED UNDER FOOT by our own governments. I hope you're all doing okay. Returning here to be back amongst my proggy friends again was a real CELEBRATION DAY for me and I've already ascended the STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN again after finding another four great prog albums to review since my return. It's been TEN YEARS GONE since I first discovered ProgArchives, but when it comes to the soul of ROCK AND ROLL, THE SONG REMAINS THE SAME through the passing of the generations. THAT'S THE WAY of classic Progressive Rock, which always sounds fresh and original, no matter HOW MANY MORE TIMES you hear it. Take the rip-roaring Hard Rock of Led Zeppelin for instance - their particular brand of stomping Heavy Prog is as solid and unyielding as ACHILLES' LAST STAND. Prog's timeless appeal is WHAT IS AND WHAT SHOULD NEVER BE lost with NO QUARTER given to the ephemeral wannabe rappers and hip-hoppers of today. Anyway, sorry to RAMBLE ON. It's getting late IN THE EVENING here IN THE LIGHT of a penumbra Moon, so I'm going to don my 1970's KASHMIR coat now and listen to some more classic British Prog. ALL MY LOVE to my proggy friends here in the British Isles and OVER THE HILLS AND FAR AWAY across THE OCEAN.
  Now's your chance to help determine the Top 5 Led Zeppelin songs of all time. Simply list your Top 5 Led Zeppelin songs in order of preference and then I'll assign points to your listings as follows:- 1st song - 6 points 2nd song - 4 points 3rd song - 3 points 4th song- 2 points 5th song - 1 point Here are my Top 5 Led Zeppelin songs to get the poll underway:- 1. Stairway to Heaven (6 points) 2. Kashmir (4 points) 3. Whole Lotta Love (3 points) 4. Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You (2 points) 5. Dazed and Confused (1 point)  |

How is this possible?! Unless you don't know much about them anyway. How many of their albums have you listened in their full length? Or was it some compilation? Why are you smiling about it?  Are you proud of your ignorance?  |

 I'll spring for a room for you two... only caveat will be it will be videotaped and leaked onto internet.top 5? Hard.. for like most people who haven't spent their lives under a rock or are a f**king kid just getting into music.. Led Zeppelin has probably been the most played, heard and thus overexposed band in the universe.. and without the quality and eclectism of the Beatles to offset it. the first two are no brainers.. for they are sort of outlyiers stylistically.. thus still sound fresh as opposed to much of their stuff. 1.... by lightyears.. have heard it a 1000 times.. and still sounds fresh. IMO by FAR their best song.. Battle of Evermore 2. yeah that song.. Carouselambra. Much like BoE.. a very unique song in their catalog and with a droning hynotic style I would have liked to have seen them explore further if they had continued as a band. 3. In the Light 4. Communication Breakdown 5. oh why not... it does rule. Dazed and Confused.

I had not heard of it, either. But that's because it's on In Through The Out Door, an album I heard once when it was first released, and never bothered with it since. |

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

I don't have any studio albums by Led Zeppelin, but I do have four double CD compilation albums, so that covers just about every song Led Zeppelin have ever recorded, apart from "Carouselambra", obviously.

I'm sure you're right. I'll buy the Led Zep studio albums too if I happen to see them at a bargain price. I have at least eighty Led Zeppelin songs on my four 2-CD compilations, although admittedly, some of the songs are repeated four times over.

Too many to choose from!
1. "Whole Lotta Love" 2. "Stairway to Heaven" 3. "The Song Remains the Same" 4. "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You" 5. "No Quarter" Could easily supplant any of the above: "Heartbreaker" "Tangerine" "The Battle of Evermore" "When the Levee Breaks" "Kashmir" "Ten Years Gone" |

Porg for short. My love of music doesn't end with prog! Feel free to discuss all sorts of music with me. Odds are I'll give it a chance if I haven't already! :)

1. The Rain Song
2. Black Dog 3. Celebration Day 4. Stairway to Heaven 5. Ramble On This is off the top of my head. It's possible I'd feel differently if I really spent time thinking about it. |
