Everyone gets the Led out now and again...whats your fave song?
Mine? Achilles Last Stand...
Kashmir
Both great choices. I still get worked up whenever I hear "Immigrant Song" - Valhalla I am comingggg!!
Man...too difficult for 1 song.
Album wise I love Led Zep II. I can let the whole thing just play.
BTW BlackLagoon, love the new avatar...Up the Irons!!!!

Led Zep II is a great album...and thanks Baron...Up The Irons indeed!!
Everything on Physical Graffiti.
Depending on my mood, I have many favorites, but this time around, I'll go with
WHEN THE LEVEE BREAKS.
Whole Lotta Love.
misty mountain hop. i like the references to LOTR in Zeppelin's works
I don't own any now but when I hear them on the radio I pay special attention to Dazed and Confused, Immigrant Song , Kashmir and Whole Lotta Love even tho I have over the years heard them LITERALLY 5000 x each.
Being a drummer........
1. Moby Dick
2. Bring it on Home
3. When the Levee Breaks
4. In the Evening( In Through the out Door:1979) still a great album.
5. Misty Mountain Hop
6. Four Sticks
7.D'yer Mak'er
8. Communication Breakdown..... There are so many more, though.
Geez!
Thats like asking my favorite air.
But if I only got to pick one:
Yeah! Kashmir . . . no . . .
OK! Moby Dick . . .no . . .
Gotta be Misty Mountain Hop . . .no . . .
Got It! Ramble On . . .no . . . .
Can't do it!
Easier to name my least favorite: There isn't one!
'Course I'm so old I have all their original albums on vinyl. Bought 'em when they came out.

It's funny you say that, I have this conversation with my friend alot..who doesnt care for that album or the latter of the Zep stuff.
It is a much different sound then say "Good Times, Bad Times"..but just as good...In Through The Out Door is a favorite album of mine!

I still think, that album(ITTOD) is underrated, so many good songs, classics I might add.. My favorite songs on the are.....
Carouselambra and Fool in the Rain. Plus....didn't ITTOD have 4 different covers?
Also a fan of ITTOD. Definitely underrated. Fool in the Rain and All of my Love are some of my favorites.
Yeah ITTOD has a few different covers and they are all up on wikipedia.
Presence is also another one I love...
Also on the B' side to Iron Maiden's "Bring Your Daughter To The Slaughter" was a cover of Communication Breakdown...very very cool to hear Maiden doing that one.

Wow, I never knew they covered that song!?! I knew Maiden covered Cross-eyed Mary(Jethro Tull), and Communication Breakdown is one of my favorite songs, especially playing drums on it. By the way, Presence album cover really cool and mysterious.....and obviously that's what Zep was going for. But, the photos of the Obelisk, aesthetically awesome.

Oh yeah Cross Eyed Mary was the B-Side for Trooper I believe...they also covered "I've Got The Fire" for Flight Of Icarus..which is awesome, thats a Montrose song.
Apparently that was the 2nd time theyve covered it. There is a live Paul DiAnno version of it that I think made the B-Side to Prowler. Its pretty good...but nothing is ever as good as Bruce.
I also heard some of Robert Plant's new stuff...not bad. I remember in the 80's when he released "Now and Zen" and the last riff of "Tall Cool One" was the opening riff to "Custard Pie"....that was damn cool.
Although not my favorite entire Zep album, ITTOD contains my probable fav song, if I had to choose just one. "In The Evening". If not for the fact that it received constant air-play for at least 3 straight decades, I might have chosen "Stairway To Heaven", but, by 1980 anyway, I was completely tired of it and I won't be heartbroken if I never hear it again!

I think I have the Paul DiAnnio version? I have several of the I.M. maxi-LPs, like "Women in Uniform" for example. Someone told me just the other day, that MAIDEN covered other LEP songs? If so...... I want to find those.
Going back to Robert Plant.... I'm not a huge fan of his solo stuff. But, the Custard Pie riff is cool, which is also a great song.
Physical graffiti, amazing album. Some of my favorite songs come from that LP, In my Time of Dying, Houses of the Holy, Trampled Under Foot.....and so on.
The Wanton Song is a fave. You Shook Me is also up there. I have to admit that I sometimes get tired of Plant's "stuck pig" vocals. I guess it works as a counterpoint to the heaviness of Page / Bonham but it often grates. BTW, I saw 'em at the Atlanta Pop Festival in early summer 1969. And, yea, Kashmir has a timelessness about it...
The Rover
Oh, and Dazed and Confused is a damn classic.
D'yer Mak'er
Oooooo thats a tough one, so many great songs from LZ...
At this point I can't narrow it down.
