Worst Led Zeppelin Song

I already mentioned Hot Dog, surprised it's not in the list and the poll has some amazing songs, some ok, but none of them bad.

Yep. Any other rock band would saw their own arms off to have a list of songs that "bad".

I'm surprised someone thought to do a poll of 'worst Zeppelin songs'. Kinky.. for it was a trick question.

It was a trick question you all suckas fell for.... there IS no worst Zeppelin song.

You have to be out of your mind to include Stairway, In My Time, and Heartbreaker but not include Four Sticks, Hot Dog, and The Crunge. I like all of these songs but will go with Ozone Baby. Plus, D'yer Mak'er is awesome! Why so much hate?

I don't see their song "All Of My Love " in the list. The music is actually not too bad, but Plant's singing makes me cringe and sounds like a parody of something. They were the first band whose entire LP collection I bought. I loved everything, but that song still sticks out!

Wearing and Tearing because of unfamiliarity, would've gone the same route for Ozone Baby and Candy Store Rock (all of which now have 3 votes for too); all other tracks are great. yes, even D'yer Mak'er i think is great; why is it getting the slack that it doesn't deserve?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Everyone had their drum solos in the late 60s and 70s. It was an integral part of concerts as well, and I think the fans appreciated a damn good solo. I know I did. Watching drummers like Bonham, Phil Collins, Barrie Barlow, Carl Palmer or Bill Bruford jam was often a high point of the concert or an album.   Now? Not really a part of the concert or of releases. Now, you get an hour and a half commercial, a $50 concert shirt and a $10 beer. I'll take the drum solos, thanks.

I don't care what was going on at the time. It is still my least favourite Zep track and was when I first bought the album about 35 yrs ago. Vesta curries used to be really popular also - it's not a revisionist attitude to say they tasted like the contents of a hoover bag. It's just a valid opinion. Drum solos at concerts are one thing but taking up a whole track on an album is another. They are the Vesta curries of recorded music.

Candy Store Rock is pretty bad, but at least that's on 'Presence' which is one of my favorite Zep albums. I'll have to go with Dancing Days though, it's one of the many unbearable songs on 'Houses of the Holy'.
