Maybe it's because I have Presence in my cd player today but I'd have to say For your life.

Totally agree with that Dawg. PG was my favorite from the first moment I heard it but I remember a lot of people not being that thrilled with it at first. I think it grew on people over time but it still doesn't get the acclaim that some of the other albums got (like LZ II for example).

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....

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.

I agree. Easily their best. II & IV have just become unlistenable to me bc the songs are overplayed so much.

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

I thought the tune of this movie was Living In Stereo by the Cars.

Is it under rated? Not by me. I think it is awesome.

Was it played live often? It (to my ignorant ears) sounds like it has 7-8 guitar or string parts in the recording. So I can see how two guys might have trouble.

Tea for One. Never heard anyone other than my brother and I play it. To me, lives seemingly in obscurity on Presence.

Love tea for one, and since I've been loving you. They are very similar and two of my favorite LZ songs. Also noticed ten years gone mentioned quite a bit, also one of my favorite Zeppelin songs to play along with.

You guys have named some good ones.
Just to be different what about the ending of Physical Graffiti.
Black Country Woman - Slight struggle until Bonzo comes in. But once he does!
Sick Again - Once again Bonzo does some crazy sh**.

Carouselambra, only for the middle bridge.

Practically everyone hates this song because of the cheesy, carousel-sounding synth in the first part of the song.

But if you can make it through the first 4 minutes or so, at roughly the 4:06 point the synth fades out and Page does descending arpeggios on the 12 string, ending in a two chord vamp that he lets ring out. Your ears are saying "thank God, that sounds so much better!"

Then on the repeat at 5:09 his guitar is slightly out of tune and this adds a trippy resonance.

By 7:06 or so the funs over and the synth comes back in They should've taken those 3 minutes and made them it's own song.

It may not be underrated or obscure, but Babe I'm Gonna Leave You is great blues song. Maybe my favorite Blues song this side of the Allman Bros.
