Your favourite Led Zeppelin song?

Sorry if this has been done, but I ran a search and couldn't a specific title. Anyway, new FMs on here now.

For me, Achilles Last Stand.

Written after Robert Plant's car crash, and Jimmy Page says it's his favourite song too.

I have two contenders.

The Battle Of Evermore

or

Kashmir

'What Is And What Never Should Be' from Led Zep II

No one ever mentions this track. It's got the lot. Quiet verse, loud chorus, funny instrumental bit...

I do some proper low slung air guitar to this:D

Led Zeppelin - Black Dog - so many riffs in one song and that voice!

So many to choose from it's almost an impossible task but if I had to select one then it would be Carouselambra from the 1979 album "In Through The Out Door". One of the best bass lines and a song not often played which is a shame

No Quarter.

Babe I'm Gonna Leave you. And I second Fast Fuse, I love What is and What should Never Be.

The Rover - hence my username.

I'm with the OP on this. Nothing can be beat the majesty that is Achilles Last Stand..from Bonham's monstrous and proabably Page's finest guitar work, it's an epic.

Deep Purple · 12/03/13 - 16:32

I suppose Stairway to Heaven will suffer here for being played out, but when listened to properly, it is a true classic.

Whole Lotta Love is still a fantastic rock song too.

I also love Thank You as a Zeppelin ballad.

General Lunacy · 12/03/13 - 17:50

ALS is great, but personally i'd have to go with Stairway, cliche that it is.

The live versions of both that and Immigrant Song on How The West Was Won, wow.

BluesTrainRadio · 12/03/13 - 18:43

Just for the sheer power, I always liked Rock and Roll the best.

Rocketpop · 12/03/13 - 18:59

Tangerine.

LaVieEnRose · 12/03/13 - 19:08

Anything but Stairway !!!!!

It's always the one that people pick out and yet it's not typical of LZ's work. Frankly I've heard it enough times for one lifetime.

LED93 · 12/03/13 - 19:15

Big Zeppelin fan, hence my username. I would go for either stairway or when the levee breaks.

barbeler · 12/03/13 - 19:24

Tangerine, Ramble On or Going To California. Whole Lotta Love still sends shivers down the spine, but I soon went off Led Zep when I realised that Jimmy Page has to be the most over-rated guitar player of all time. It usually sounds okay in the studio, but when you hear him play live, he appears to have absolutely no sense of timing and no feel for what he is playing. Perhaps it's just too many drugs.
