I'm pretty sure I would've chosen the same ten favourite Led Zeppelin songs as you if I hadn't chosen a favourite song from each of ten albums. Smile


'Immigrant Song' should have been on my list too - it pained me leaving that out as we were restricted to 10.
"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.

If we do a guilty pleasures thread, there's an album from the 80's with the word 'Jacket' in the title and... No, I better not go anywhere near that thread lol.

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.

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

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

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)
