Absolutely. It's funny.... hadn't listened to The Rover in about 10 years. When I played it, it was familiar yet left me in awe. Just my opinion....



It blows you away from the start.

I think the only reason Kashmir became popular was b/c of Fast Times at Ridgemont High


Cameron Crowe was trying to get Stairway even back then - they let him have Kashmir instead.

For Almost Famous, they declined again, letting him have Tangerine. He said he wouldn't have made the movie if he knew Stairway wouldn't have been released to use.

Still great movies all around (and Nancy Wilson of Heart appears in both, although only on the soundtrack of Almost Famous - she wrote much of the original music and McCready played most of the "Stillwater" guitar stuff.)

No one's mentioned Since I've Been Loving You yet? For shame.


And I dispute that Physical Graffiti does not get brought up as Zep's best album. It gets brought up ALL THE TIME as their best album. In fact, I'd submit is the album most likely to be brought up by someone who says they don't like Zeppelin as their one good album. It's got a sterling reputation. Both Page and Plant have called it the band's best album, which is as high praise as you get.

In Rolling Stone's Greatest 500 Albums poll, it finished 72nd, the 3rd highest of Zep's catalog. It's a well-respected album by just about everyone.

luvdatigahs mentioned it back on p. 3 but it deserves to be mentioned again. I'm not sure it's really underrated though. Most of the Zep fans I know put that one in their top 5.

Not to mention the end, the way it fades out with Page just jamming is one of my favorite parts of the song.

I notice a lot of favorites in here rather than under rated. Nonetheless they are all pretty damn good listens.

I have always really enjoyed hearing How many more times live especially in early '69 where you hear the birth of the Whole Lotta Love riff pop out. Good stuff!

I mean you kinda made my point. I'm not saying people say it sucks, it's just that if you ask people what is their best album, it's almost cliche to say 4. I think a lot of that has to do with the "mainstream" songs on it...practically every one on there has gotten major radio play so the masses have heard basically the whole album even if they aren't "into" zeppelin. As solid as PG is, kashmir and trampled underfoot are really the only ones that I've ever heard on radio before.

It's my personal favorite Zeppelin song but not really underrated IMO. In my time of Dying and Tea for One are both great answers

Tea for One

Joe Bonamassa's cover of this song on his You & Me album is fantastic. Doug Henthorn is the vocalist.

I love “Ten Years Gone” but don’t consider it underrated.

So I’ll go with “In My Time of Dying”.
