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...

Wolfman

Oh, and Dazed and Confused is a damn classic.

Monster Bob


The Cryptkeeper

Oooooo thats a tough one, so many great songs from LZ...

At this point I can't narrow it down.
