AlChuck Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 For me it's always been "What Is and What Should Never Be" from Led Zeppelin II -- a brilliant job of arranging dynamics, fantastic guitar parts, great vocal, great feel... just magic. (This is coming from a Led Zep non-admirer... I never really liked them too much, thought they were basically bombastic and silly and Page was a sloppy guitarist who couldn't hold a candle compared to his Yardbirdmates Beck and Clapton... but I have to admit he was a brilliant guitarist/producer along the lines of Lowell George and I've always thought this song in particular a perfect realization of that side of him, it just slays me...)

Darcy H Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 "Fool In The Rain" is one of my all time favourite songs, "Black Dog" and "Heartbreaker" are way up there too...a tad harder than my first pick. I've got some Jimmy Page solo stuff that's rates pretty darn high as well, "No Introduction Necessary [Deluxe Edition]", plus some work he did with Clapton and Sonny Boy Williamson. Amazing stuff! www.myspace.com/darcyhoover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardtail Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Last night, as I walked toward the door from the parking lot to the rehearsal studio, I heard the beginning of "The Song Remains the Same" and said whoa.... whoever's playing that tune in the studio has got it dead nuts right! Then I realized it was just a guy in the parking lot playing a CD in his van. LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megiliel Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 When Mom got married last summer, I got a lot of say in wedding music, so I made a mix cd for before the ceremony with "All My Love". That went over like a led zeppelin. www.myspace.com/donahelena Support bored teenage ghost hunters. www.myspace.com/rock_paranormal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil W Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 I agree about Custard Pie and The Crunge. I enjoy that rehearsal session that showed up online. I burnt the whole thing to a CD and listen to it often - expecially that funk instrumental. http://philwbass.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Kamehameha Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 Down By The Seaside, Song Remains the Same, In the Light, Hots on For Nowhere, STH, The Crunge, GTBT, Commmunication Breakdown....it's very hard! Somebody said to me today that all their songs sound the same. I think I punched her. It was all an angry blur. Geez, somebody bring my smiley back! I'm dyin' here!

Megiliel Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 Dude, those sound nothing alike! Wait... that was the idea, wasn't it? Heh heh, I knew that...

usedtoshred Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 That's a tough question, but, I think I'll have to go with Led Zeppelin 1, probably GTBT. Of course tomorrow I'll change my mind, but that's the way it goes with Zeppelin and Beatles tunes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James-Italy Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 "Fool in the Rain" is also one of my all time favorite songs. I'd probably go with "The Rover" if I had to pick a number 2. The nice thing is with the .mp3 players of today I literally carry ALL the Zep tunes with me wherever I go. Gonna listen to some tonight!

James-Italy Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Yeah... I took three years vacation from work and was too busy playing and having fun to surf the net. The wife finally told me to get my lazy butt out of the house, so I got a job. Now I'll have lots of time to kill and should become a regular poster again!

jbote Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Welcome back, James! As for old Led Zep, the first song that sprung to mind was "Ramble On" so I guess I'll go with that - but its kind of like asking for your favorite Beatles or Stones song - the wealth of great material makes it impossible to get it down to just one song.

Going to music camp again this summer? (Yeah, I know... with the weather as it is in your neck of the woods probably the last thing you're thinking about is summer. ) Oh I HATE New England. Not really, just the weather. Sure am going to camp, the best one in the world but if I get into Victor Wooten's bass camp, there's a conflict on the most important day of my other camp's 1st session. Anyway, back on subject.... I'm learning most of Zep's studio stuff on my bass and some on guitar (not much with the guitar so far but you know...) and I rediscovered how much I LOVE Ramble On! Everything fits together so nicely and the bass is so wonderfully syncopated!

Greg B. Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 The Led Zeppelin DVD that was released a couple of years ago has some extremely cool live stuff from the beginnings of the band to the end, including some very early TV appearances and some outtakes from the movie "Song Remains the Same". If you are a Zeppelin fan, you should own this, its really good.
