I don't really have a favorite, depends too much on my mood. I probably listen to 'Over the Hills and Far Way' most often, but since that's already been mentioned I'll say 'Out on the Tiles'.

Since I've Been Loving You. Favorite song of all time and the live version and the album version are so different to me, but I love them both. The Song Remains the Same version is like a duet between Plant and Page.

To come up with my top 10... I would have to think longer.

Also... what about that '59 Les Paul of his... man... would love to know how much that would go for. Probably the most expensive Les Paul on the planet. A '59 with no history is over $250K.

Too many good songs.

It is hard just to narrow it down to a favorite album.

Which would probably be Physical Graffiti

It was The Ocean until I was in 10th grade and I heard Achilles Last Stand for the first time. Achilles Last Stand is my #1 favorite song of all time.
Over the Hills & Far Away live from How the West Was Won is another favorite. Gallows Pole. In My Time of Dying. Four Sticks. Rain Song. I used to love walking across campus with my ipod blasting Out On the Tiles. Bring it on Home. Levee. Moby Dick. Evermore. Crunge
I love almost every song of theirs. I've gone through multiple time periods where I listen to nothing but Led Zeppelin.

Can I tell y'all about my addiction? For 2 years I listened to NOTHING but Led Zeppelin. I turned 16 & had a mp3 player in my truck. I burned every Zeppelin song on to a mp3 disc and never took it out for 2 years. I put it on random loop & would just listen. I had Led Zeppelin II in my CD player alarm clock & would would wake up to What Is and What Should Never Be every morning. I got an iPod & put their whole catalog on there. I would listen to the albums in order whenever I put my headphones in. I'd pause & pick up where I'd left off. Sometimes the song would get to the end & I'd hit the back button to restart it to listen again. I bought The Song Remains the Same & the other live dvds. I had to do a lip sync video for a funny class protect, I did the Immigrant Song. I also used Immigrant Song in the opening of my project about Vikings. I made a music video for The Ocean in a computer class. I listened to Achilles Last Stand every night before I fell asleep. In 12th grade we had to write a paper about a song. I wrote about how it's a travesty that Stairway to Heaven is the only song that most people associate Led Zeppelin with. My friend that actually liked Zeppelin would get in my truck & ask for Going to California but I would not take it off shuffle. One time my iPod died & I called the radio station & requested Misty Mountain Hop. But they played Dyer Maker instead. There's probably more that I'm leaving out haha. I finally took a break for a little while then went right back to it.

I forgot about my ringtone back then. Houses of the Holy.

Remembered another one today.
I would run on the treadmill to Fool In the Rain & try to finish a mile before the song ended.

Same. I was pondering going with II, but it loses points for Living Loving Maid.

I think all of the songs on Presence are kinda generic hard rock, nothing special, but nothing I really dislike either. In Through the Out Door has some stinkers though.

My main defense for In Through the Out Door is always Fool In the Rain. If all you got was the drum track from that song, you're already ahead.

I love listening to the isolated drum track of Fool in the Rain.

Fool In the Rain
D'yer Maker
Whole Lotta Love
Over the Hills and Far Away
TheCzar

Not a big LZ fan, but have always dug Dancing Days. The STP cover is legit, too.

Impossible.... completely. Can't do it.

Best I can do is my favorite LZ song - from each album - which would make like the greatest 8 song GH album ever.

Dazed and Confused
Ramble On
Immigrant Song
Black Dog
Over The Hills and Far Away
Kashmir
Achilles Last Stand
Fool in the Rain
(Hey Hey What Can I Do - if you include Coda)

My LZ GH playlist is 30 songs and that took some effort to narrow it down. I have a second playlist of deep cuts that is 25 more songs. Thats 55 songs that I consider greatness - they only recorded 85ish songs in studio depending on what you include from various Coda releases. So roughly 2/3 of their entire catalog is greatness.

Stairway is cliche but I've never changed the station when it comes on.

Thank You is most underrated. It might crack my top 10,

In the Light. My answer would have been different a year ago, but after watching the Mindhunter Season 1 finale, that song is etched in my mind.

You can ask 10 people and get 10 different answers.

For me it's usually between two songs in particular. For today, I'll go with:



Those drums and that harmonica....out of this world.
Hard to decide between that and the Immigrant Song. I'd probably pick When the Levee Breaks just because you don't hear it as often.
