Terri Lynn Posted May 28, 2004 Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 I really enjoy Led Zeppelin's music, and have most of the "classics" and a few lesser known songs. However I would really like to expand my horizons. I was wondering though if anyone had any personal favourites they would like to suggest. I'm trying to build up my Led Zeppelin knownledge, and figured this would be a good place to ask. Thanks to everyone who answers. (So far I have: Battle of Evermore, Black Dog, Dazed and Confused, D'yer Maker, Fool in the Rain, Kashmir, Ramble On, Rock and Roll, Since I've Been Loving You, Stairway to Heaven, and The Ocean) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott Posted May 28, 2004 Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 My personal favorite, "No Quarter" just excellent, they wrote as kind of a sequel to "The Immigrant Song" (which is about vikings or other invading hoards or what not) But "No Quarter" is a great long kind of mellow song I reccomend it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terri Lynn Posted May 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 Thanks very much for replying, and so fast! There are just so many Led Zeppelin songs, I wanted feedback from others on which ones are the best. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beatleant Posted May 28, 2004 Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 For Zep, I usually listen to these ones the most ... The Rain Song Ten Years Gone The Lemon Song How Many More Times What Is And What Should Never Be That's The Way Over The Hills And Far Away Night Flight The Wanton Song Sorry, too many to mention... :guitar: Ant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terri Lynn Posted May 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2004 Don't worry about mentioning too many, I want suggestions, and you've provided. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Jayson_ Posted May 29, 2004 Report Share Posted May 29, 2004 Here's a few Tangerine Achilles Last Stand All of my love Nobody's fault buy mine Hey Hey what can I do Moby Dick If you don't already have it, I would really suggest getting the 3 cd set, "How the West was won" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cindy17838 Posted May 29, 2004 Report Share Posted May 29, 2004 I would say to start with the entire LZ 2 album. Journalists used to have a musical category called 'Album Rock' and Led Zeppelin certainly fits into it. I believe this is also how they should be listened to. This will give you a good base and an understanding of Bonhams talent on the drums as Jayson pointed out with the visual of the drummer on his post. From there I would move on to LZ 4 then either LZ 1 or In Throught the Out Door. If you are really looking for just some good songs to download some of my favorites are: In the Light - my favorite song by them In the Evening Thank You Going to California Kashmir When the Levee Breaks Over the Hills and Far Away Its safer just to start collecting CDs, then you don't miss out on anything good.

Mike Posted May 29, 2004 Report Share Posted May 29, 2004 Heartbreaker When the levy breaks Fool in the rain Carouselambra oh heck -- LZ4, HotH and PG are awesome through and through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terri Lynn Posted May 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2004 I really do need to buy some Led Zeppelin CDs, but I live in a rural community, and really need to make an event out of going to get some CDs. This way I'll have an idea of what albums I really need to get. thanks for the suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesboy Posted May 29, 2004 Report Share Posted May 29, 2004 As said previously, don't forget the live shows cd that came out last year How the West was Won 3 cds of 2 shows from Los Angeles and Long Beach '72 Zep at their peak... If you want to explore more live shows this book will help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malakin Posted May 29, 2004 Report Share Posted May 29, 2004 My first Zep album was Physical Graffiti... For me, nostalgically, nothing tops that one.. But for an easy 'in' I'd say start with either II or IV, they're the most familiar to the casual radio listener. But, once you start, you'll want them all, like everyone's saying, so just start!

Batman Posted May 30, 2004 Report Share Posted May 30, 2004 One that I really like is "Ten Years Gone." Another good one is "Houses of Holy." A good 2 CD set I have is called "Early days and Latter days." its the best of their older stuff and later stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuzikTyme Posted May 31, 2004 Report Share Posted May 31, 2004 I think if I had to pick only one Zep album then it would be II. Probably because this is the first album by them that I fell in love with. Man, that was a long time ago. :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cindy17838 Posted May 31, 2004 Report Share Posted May 31, 2004 Amazing, Musik and I agree on something. I thought after the Ashley, vinyl discussions that I was on the list forever. LZ 2 is their best even if my favorite song of theirs isn't on it. (see my post above) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beatleant Posted May 31, 2004 Report Share Posted May 31, 2004 I'd really suggest you pick up Zep's 2-DVD set. The first disc is unsurpassable to whatever else you've seen and/or heard regarding their live sets. Ant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuzikTyme Posted June 1, 2004 Report Share Posted June 1, 2004 Amazing, Musik and I agree on something. I thought after the Ashley, vinyl discussions that I was on the list forever. Funny stuff. :: I don't remember ever disagreeing with you about musical tastes. (the infamous CD verses vinyl debate excluded) But, you're still on my list, it's the good list though. Honesty always finds disagreements. Disagreements are paramount into evaluating one's self. I think we do a good job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
