Héctor Enrique

In no particular order:

5. All My Love

6. Trampled Under Foot

7. No Quarter

8. That's The Way

10. Communication Breakdown

I'd like to amend my previous selections with further choices and commentary:

Black Mountainside (thank you, Bert Jansch)
Babe I'm Gonna Leave You (thank you, Anne Bredon)
Heartbreaker (the greatest sloppy lead of all time)
Since I've Been Loving You (for Bonham's squeaky foot pedal)
Gallows Pole (Jimmy on banjo!)
Bron-Yr-Aur Stomp (hey, who doesn't love a song about a dog?)
Hey, Hey What Can I Do? (why this isn't on LZIII is mystifying)
Black Dog (that riff)
Battle of Evermore (and Sandy Denny)
When the Levee Breaks (the very definition of "progressive blues")
The Rain Song (beautiful composition)
Over the Hills and Far Away (the acoustic intro)
In My Time of Dying (because Blind Willie Johnson, Part 1)
In the Light (JPJ's best turn on the synth)
Bron-Yr-Aur (perhaps Page's best acoustic composition)
Ten Years Gone (A song I never get bored of)
The Wanton Song (John Bonham, 'nuff said)
Achilles Last Stand (did I mention John Bonham?)
Nobody's Fault But Mine (because Blind Willie Johnson, Part 2)
Travelling Riverside Blues (Robert Johnson, of course)

...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined
to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology...

Live from Uzbekistan - The Orchestral Kashmir. My favourite song from the Physical Graffiti album.

Thanks, did that. Can't seem to actually delete a post though... which is worth bearing in mind -- will have to think twice before saying anything stupid, rude or blasphemous!!

.

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

For me it's difficult to choose just ten so I'll just choose ten off the top of my head while probably leaving a few great ones off:

Your Time Is Gonna Come

The Lemon Song

Tangerine

Stairway To Heaven

Over The Hills And Far Away

In The Light

The Rover

Kashmir

Achilles Last Stand

In The Evening

Five more:

Dazed And Confused

Bring It On Home

The Song Remains The Same

Carouselambra

I'm Gonna Crawl (Out door is very underrated imo while 4 is a bit overrated again imo)

Hi,

To be perfectly honest, and I still have the CD's and albums, I can not even decide which song I like better. All in all, I can go back to the first album, and fall away with a smile and love it, as much as I can the later stuff, and ...

I would say that there are few bands when/where you can say that over all of their life, they were outstanding, and I think it is more than fair to say that Led Zeppelin was one of these bands. And their complete canon of music ... is one that very few bands can ever sit and compare to!

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!
