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

replace with --- The Lemon Song

you can edit messages yourself, just click 'post options and then edit and make your necessary changes and so on...

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!!

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

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...

In no particular order:

1. Since I've Been Loving You

2. When the Levee Breaks

3. Achilles Last Stand

4. The Rain Song

5. All My Love

6. Trampled Under Foot

7. No Quarter

8. That's The Way

9. Stairway to Heaven

10. Communication Breakdown

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.

This is one topics that I so wish had the Paul treatment with tallying up the votes.

I don't often quote myself unless quoting someone who quoted me, but

Just ten, hmm...

I'm doing this alphabetically because I'm not keen on ranking things.

Carouselambra

Dazed and Confused

Four Sticks

In the Light

Misty Mountain Hop

No Quarter

Rain Song, The

Tangerine

Ten Years Gone

Thank You

I guess I changed since 2021 since know I like to rank and tally things more. It's not like I treat it as a very serious or definitive list and raking.

So using the same songs:

1. Carouselambra
2. Ten Years Gone
3. Thank You
4. Four Sticks
5. In the Light
6. In the Rain Song
7. No Quarter
8. Misty Mountain Hop
9. Tangerine
10. Dazed and Confused

Or something like that, and might do a different set of songs later. I gotta whole lotta love for Zepp even if it is not something I have listened to very much since being a teenager. For years I would have said that my two favourite bands are Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin.
