I thought someone did this a while ago but I couldn't find it so here goes. 
I'm not a huge Zeppelin fan so I though it would be easy to get the list down to 10. 
Turns out it was harder then I thought. I defiantly like the more melodic stuff from them, 
Sometime Plant's screeching can be a bit much for me.  
Here goes.

  • Over the Hills & Far Away
  • Ten Years Gone
  • The Rain Song 
  • The Ocean
  •  Hey, Hey What can I do
  •  Kashmir
  •  That's The way
  •  Fool in the Rain
  •  Going to California
  • What is & what should Never Be
   Just Missed the cut:
      Good times Bad Times
      Tangerine
      Dancing Days
      Bron-Yr-Aur

I love that whole album. If I were to choose a side, I'd be torn between side 1 ("Custard Pie", "The Rover" and "In My Time of Dying"), or side 3 ("In the Light", "Bron-Y-Aur", "Down By the Seaside" and "Ten Years Gone").

Kinda tough - I’ve heard them all so many times that there are old favorites that I’ve since burned out on. So I’ll just deal with the here & now, and go with current favorites, acknowledging that many stone classics won’t make this list, but not thru any fault of theirs. Nobody’s fault but mine.

1. How Many More Times
2. No Quarter
3. For Your Life
4. When the Levee Breaks
5. The Rover
6. Dazed & Confused
7. Achilles’ Last Stand
8. Carouselambra
9. Tea for One
10. Poor Tom

I thought I'd already voted in this poll but apparently not. I'll do it slightly differently though by choosing a favourite song from each Led Zeppelin album, making ten songs in all (the same as I did for the recent Black Sabbath songs poll). In the meantime, I'm heading Out Through the In Door, but I'll be back later. At least it gives me a good excuse to listen to my entire Led Zep CD collection again. Coda. Smile

Yes, but the Coda version is different. From memory, it's a live recording.

"Immigrant Song" was an absolute must for inclusion on my Top 10 list, whichever way I put the list together. I only just noticed it wasn't on your list too, but maybe you could migrate "Immigrant Song" onto your list belatedly. Smile

I've always been a bit mystified by how to apply the term "guilty pleasures".

If it refers to the dictionary meaning "something, such as a film, television program, or piece of music, that one enjoys despite feeling that it is not generally held in high regard." then I have a myriad "guilty pleasures".

If it refers to music I might be ashamed to admit I like, then nothing fits into that category for me. If I like a piece of music I have no qualms admitting that I like it.

all their album openers were great, In the Evening on ITTOD and We're Gonna Groove from Coda were more than ok openers, I like them quite a bit.

Not forgetting Custard Pie and of course Achilles Last Stand.



Right .
just a suggestion :
If not because at the golden age of the vynil it was necessary that the first song of each side was captivating

True. I usually listen to full length albums so I still expect album openers to draw me in. Tongue

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!

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)

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

No Quarter
Achilles Last Stand / 
The Rain Song
Whole Lotta Love

(Bootleg from 1990s Page/Plant tour)
Lullaby (The Cure Cover, because they had Porl Thompson on 2nd guitar)

(BBC Sessions)
Travellin' Riverside Blues
Immigrant Song

(Original album tracks)
In The Evening
Since I've Been Loving you
The Lemon Song

...damn, run out of slots!

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)

Bron-Yr-Aur (Physical Graffiti)
Dazed & Confused (I>TSrtS live version)
No Quarter (Houses of the Holy>TSRtS live version)
Over the Hills and Far Away (Houses of the Holy)
Since I`ve Been Loving You (III>TSRtS live version)
Stairway to Heaven (IV>TSRtS live version)
Tangerine (III)
The Battle of Evermore (IV)
The Song Remains the Same (Houses of the Holy>TSRtS live version)
Whola Lotta Love (II>TSRtS live version)

Most of the songs included in the live album "The Song Remains the Same" take on a vitality and energy superior to the studio versions.
