Top 5 Favorite Led Zeppelin tunes
Posted on 12/6/12 at 5:38 pm

5. Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You -
Led Zeppelin 1 - beautiful blend of Robert Plant singing some soulful blues and Jimmy Page's acoustic melodies (with some solid jams thrown in on the breaks). The finish sends chills down my spine every time I hear it.
4. Tangerine - Led Zeppelin 3 - great acoustic 12 string work by Page. Beautiful song.
3. When The Levee Breaks - Untitled 4th Album (ZOSO) - Ann & Nancy Wilson have called this the sexiest Led Zep song ever. IMHO, it's simply the greatest blues jam ever.
Solidly bridges the gap between blues and hard rock.
2. Nobody's Fault But Mine - Presence - a take on Robert Johnson's "Hellhound on My Trail", Plant's mournful vocals seem to lament the possible loss of his very soul. Page's guitar effects make this one a veritable audio laser-light show.
And finally...
#1. In The Evening - In Through The Out Door - hardest of all hard rock jams, this song showed that even though he was smacked out most of the time and Robert Plant/John Paul Jones were emerging more as musical presences, this was STILL Jimmy Page's band. The guitar riffs are repetitive (as were many of Page's riffs), but mesmerizing and innovative. And the bridge, where everything just comes crashing down (sounds like Bonham picked up his drum kit and threw it across the studio) is one of the greatest ever.
My thoughts. I welcome yours.

In no order:
Since I've Been Loving You
I Can't Quit You Babe
The Rain Song
Ten Years Gone
Thank You
Love this song, but I've always thought the intro seems like a precursor to hair metal

1. Bring it on Home - Greatest Blues-Rock song ever written IMO
2. Your Time is Gonna Come - Ultimate FU to any ex
3. I Can't Quit You Baby - Page's guitar working so so well with Plant's vocals. Only better example would be You Shook me
4. Ramble On - What's not to love?
5. Hey Hey What Can I Do? / What is and What Should Never Be - Both have that little something extra that always spoke to me, I can identify with plenty of Plant's lyrics but these two are the epitome of that. Accordingly I couldn't just put one.

You know you're a lame arse middle aged man approaching old age when you make a 'top 5 Led Zeppelin tunes' thread.
(but what does that say for me commenting on it)

1. In My Time of Dying
2. The Ocean
3. Since I've Been Loving You
4. Brom-Y-Aur Stomp
5. When the Levee Breaks
There are tow things I look for in a Zep song -- great bluesy throwbacks and a hard driving riff. The Ocean is, IMO, the greatest riff ever recorded. And that break right at the end of the song... I'm done. It's just great.
