The official Live Led Zeppelin videos for the current Top 5 songs, which currently extends to a Top 7 by a strange quirk of fate.

Okay, I'll try not to cheat. My choices are definitely in my personal top ten for Led Zeppelin so I'm not reaching too much. Early adventuorous years - laid back guitar, Plant at his peak, misty production and a pinch of Tolkien. What's not to like. Sounds like pretty much any idea LZ came up with in 1968-73 span was gold. Really love the buildup, fantastic game of contrasts and JPJ setting the scene. 4. When the Levee Breaks Incredible how powerful and epic a 4-man rock band can be. 3. Dazed and Confused Album version is terrific, but I decided to include it for live extravaganza. TSRTS version is best known and goes on for 27 minutes or so, with no filler whatsoever (imo)... but pretty much any recording I know of was a highlight. Right at the Led Zeppelin's catalogue heart. 2. No Quarter Wish they'd done more of this. Ominous atmosphere, unique tones and effects, lovely piano part; and Bonham, thunderous and idiosyncratic - as always. Not often Led Zeppelin tried to paint nightscape terrors, but when they did, results were chilling. I'd like to say that LZ had at least 10 more legendary songs under their belt, with In My Time of Dying, Since I've Been Loving You and Achilles leading the charge, but we can't have everything right. 1. Stairway to Heaven I can't think of any other song that I've been trying to "preserve" as much as this one. It's like, I'm not even listening to it once a year nowadays, but man, Stairway is everywhere. Still it doesn't mean the song isn't life changing in its beauty and emotion. I believe every single detail is laid out perfectly, the thoughtful articulation, incredible vocals, haunting 12-string laden "choruses" and buildup to the cosmic solo. I'd pay real money to "feel" it as much as I did 15 or 20 years ago. No. 1, well deserved.

I'm happy to tell you that I'm now the proud owner of four Led Zeppelin studio albums, having picked them all up recently at a bargain price of £2 each from a charity shop:- Led Zeppelin; Led Zeppelin II; Houses of the Holy: & Physical Graffiti

For Zep I tend to think more in terms of performances than songs, the real magic was live. No Quarter for its depth and continual evolution, the explorations in Whole Lotta Love & DaC, the smoldering minor blues of Since I've Benn Loving You. As for compositions, they peaked in '75 with Phyz. |

I want for all of us to just pause for a brief moment of reflection to point out which album has the most songs from this poll. You all have, in a roundabout way, proved my point that Zoso is by far the greatest LZ album. Hey! You said it with this poll! Not me!

Wow!!! How can you NOT have any Led Zeppelin studio albums.....oh wait I don't own any Beatles studio albums, but that's a better reason than not having LZ studio albums as I don't like bubble gum pop music. Like many I have original LZ records, CDs and the 2014 remastered issues, Zeppelin is 100% better on records hearing Bonham and John Paul Jones thick beefy rhythm section is eargasm from my turntable.... My choices: 1. Achilles Last Stand 2. Stairway to Heaven
3. Kashmir 4. No Quarter 5. When the Levee Breaks Edited by Catcher10 - July 14 2020 at 21:14 |
