I'd say "what is and what should never be" and "hey hey what can I do"

I probably wouldn't classify Hey Hey What Can I Do as being underrated. It got plenty of airplay despite not being on any of their original albums.

And you'd be wrong because those are both tier 1 zeppelin jams

Agreed.
I also like The Rover
Nobody's Fault But Mine (but maybe a top tier song IMO)
Ozone Baby

Aren´t these the two which jump out at you, upon first listen?
Ten Years Gone and In the Light, come much later, and are very haunting.
I wasn´t around when the album came out, so I don´t know how it was marketed/promoted. Obviously, Kashmir was the lead song then, wasn´t it?
Ah, another tune I dig from that album (the entire album is pretty damned strong) is Boogie With Stu.

I mean there are like, what, 87 official Led Zeppelin songs, counting b/w tracks, 24 singles and 3 "charted songs" (from Coda).
And of course "the" song was never a single. One of my candidates (Royal Orleans) was a single behind Candy Store Rock.
So, how do we establish tiers? Maybe this needs to be a new thread? I suspect a lot of jimmies will get rustled though - as everyone has their own favorites.
This is what happens when critics hate a band, but fans love them anyway. Over time - those young fans become critics.

At that point, Zeppelin was a monster. Because they refused to allow Stairway as a single, Runes/ZOSO/IV was purchased like a single (made tham all rich) - Physical Graffitti was a double album - an early example of one that was a hybrid of new material, previously unreleased, etc. In addition to confusing people with "Houses of the Holy" (the ditched title track from the previous album), it also ran over 80 minutes.
And they only released 1 single from the record in 1975 - Trampled Under Foot (b/w Black Country Woman) which barely cracked the Top 40 in the U.S.
Yet it was still #1 album,almost everywhere. AOR loved Zeppelin, despite the somewhat longer run times for some of the songs (Stairway, famously long, as well as Kashmir running over 8 1/2 minutes.)
AOR was almost created for Zeppelin and Pink Floyd of that era - not constricted by the pure "singles" format, they could play a broader range of these tracks, or better yet, whole albums. A lot of the bands in their wake, Heart, Boston, even the NWOBHM acts all trace a good bit of their business model back to this mid-70s - with Floyd's DSOM, WYWH and Zeppelin's Houses of the Holy and Physical Graffiti. One or both of these acts are almost always listed as influences by bands who came behind them.
"Rejecting" the singles model these bands, for good or bad, begged you to listen to the entire album.

It's a great song and one of my top 5 Zeppelin tunes. Check out Joe Bonamassa's version. He truly does it justice.

Physical Graffiti is full of "underrated" songs.
I said on here earlier this week it is mind blowing how underrated that album is. Most people when they list zeppelin albums will mention the regulars but nobody ever puts PG up there very high. I think it's far and away their best.
ETA: I should say amongst people that I talk to or articles I read. Looking at the above post apparently it was a commercial success. I more so meant that I don't see it get as much acclaim as many others when looking at various outlets.
