finally i had to make a thread about one of the greatest bads of all times.
their music has this certain feeling that no other has.jimmy page is propably one of the most inovative guitar players of all times.he has reinvented music.you can hear influences of led zeppelin in almost every kind of popular music.what a pitty that john bonaham died so early,but the dvd shows what an amazing live band they were.what is your oppinion about this band?and do you think ther is any chance for a reunion?or is here even someone who saw them live?

FoolThemAll

I don't like them very much. But there's a couple songs, "Dancing Days", "Good Times Bad Times", "Black Dog", that I'll listen to. I don't care much for the vocals.

Dude, it's a lot easier if you capitalize and put spaces after the period.

Okay, I have always loved their music. In the 80's, I listened to them a lot. I saw Plant twice in 88, and he rocked, and played a little Zep too! I didnt' see Page/Plant, but heard it was really good.

As for a reunion, don't think it will ever happen.

Glory's Sun

Zep is one of the all-time greatest bands for sure. I've never seen Plant live or anthing. My favorite song by them is "Fool In The Rain"

The_wall

Extreme <3 for Led Zeppelin. Over the Hills and Far Away is my favorite song.

Mine, too. As good an acoustic intro as anywhere.

They're pretty good. Most people I have lent CDs to say they have had to listen to the songs a few times before they grew on them, but after that they cannot get enough.

ForwardtoDeath

I love Zeppelin and always have. Jimmy Page is the man and Robert Plant has such great vocal range, but who can forget about John Bonham and John Paul Jones also. Anyway, I'd have a lot of trouble picking my favorite Zeppelin song.

Tralls

Definitely a top 5 band of all time. Heavy metal would not exist without them. Zeppelin 4 is hands down one of the greatest albums ever made, well I-IV are all incredible.

Ace_O_Spades

I have a love on for Zep like no other band.. Have for a very long time now.

Required Listens:

Achilles' Last Stand
Ramble On
Over the Hills and Far Away
Bron-y-Aur Stomp <- Cross genre songs kick ass
Stairway
Nobody's Fault But Mine
Moby Dick <-Bonham's drums rock

feel free to add

How Many More Times (from the first one) or The Lemon Song are my favorites. Whenever I listen to them I always play them a second time right after the song ends.
I actually think it's a good thing that they stopped when they did. See Metallica.

Led Zeppelin and Tool are the only bands that I can still listen to today without getting sick of their sound.

My favorites:

No Quarter
The Battle of Evermore
Tangerine
Dazed and Confused
Gallows Pole
Stairway to Heaven

Talo

my favorite song is definatly Misty Mountain Hop. There is just something about how the vocals and guitar work together in that song that I really enjoy.

the420star

i love them... and would die if they had a reunion, there is no amount i wouldnt pay to see them.

my personal favorites are Fool in the Rain, Dancing Days, Dire Maker, Black Dog, and The Ocean. I LOVE Zeppelin. The Ocean is my cell phone ring! Someday I want to form a Zeppelin cover band because I don't think I'll ever be able to make my own music sound that good.

Coronaboy72

Borrowed the Box Set from a friend a few weeks back, makes me wish I grabbed it years ago when I had the chance. A few of my favorites...

Dazed and Confused
Going To California
When the Levee Breaks
Whole Lotta Love
Stairway to Heaven
Moby Dick
Black Dog
Communication Breakdown

Kashmir and The Immigrant song are two songs that I expected to see listed here already. Shame on you guys!

I'm currently listening to the Page/Plant version of Kashmir and it has a very indian influence which would be good but I thought the song was near perfect already.

Zeppelin would have more than a dozen songs on my top 100 list if I were to make one. I would definately make it to a reunion concert even if it cost me a fortune.

Definitely immigrant song, great song by a great band

jakewesier

Totally Zep is one of the most important bands to have ever come out. Every band that came out since them has Zep to thank as they not only changed the music but changed how the music was bought and marketed.

I can't pick my fav Zep song because I think they're all great. Anyone pick up the new DVD that came out recently? If you want tos ee them live go get that DVD and it'll be an experience to remember.

student

they are good...i like whole lotta love

Redjake

I used to hate Zeppelin, but the older I get the more I like them. Now I find myself listening to their jammin' tunes almost every day. My favorites:

Kashmir
Stairway to Heaven
Fool in the Rain
Dazed and Confused
Over the Hills and Far Away (possibly their best?)
Ramble On

there's tons more but I'm lazy

Zeppelin is definitely my favorite band. Hard to pick a favorite song since they have so many great ones but these ones always stood out for me:

Ramble On
Over the Hills and Far Away
Bron-y-Aur Stomp <------Page's guitar work in this is unreal
Nobody's Fault But Mine
Moby Dick
Dazed and Confused
Going to California <-------Probably my absolute favorite Zep tune
That's the Way
Whole Lotta Love


So many more. And the latest DVD is phenomenal!! Best music dvd I've ever seen.

over the hills and far away is very good,too.it is almost impossible to pick a certain son,they are all amazing.

Ace_O_Spades

I'm gonna add: In My Time of Dying

I might add that the live performance on their 2003 DVD is mind blowing

MacGuyver

D'yer Mak'er is one of my favorites, as well as Misty Mountain Hop.

Also All My Love, Living Loving Maid, and When The Levee Breaks as honorable mentions. I'm not even going to say some of the more obvious choices that have already been mentioned numerous times on this thread.

Whole Lotta Love inspired me too pick up the guitar 25 years ago. Seems like yesterday.

Saw Plant in Ottawa with Stevie Ray Vaughn as back up in '88. Saw Page in NYC in '83 at the ARMS benefit for Ronnie Lane at Madison Square Garden. Also saw Page in '88 or '89 in Detroit at Joe Louis arena. Plant and Page in the Skydome in Toronto in '96. For that show I was 10 rows back on the floor center stage.

One thing I am encouraged by since I make my living as a musician is that most of my students (10- 18 years old) all want to learn Zeppelin. I think that is great. IMO much of todays music is so unimaginative and uninspiring that todays kids have to look a bit deeper for something of substance. Don't anyone be offended by this, but really, if someone can play one Blink 182 song then they can play Weezer, Finch, Taking Back Sunday, Sum41 etc,etc. It's much all the same.

My favourite Zep songs to listen too as well as play;

The Rain Song
Kashmir - especially with the new drummer I jam with
In My Time Of Dying
Trampled Underfoot
Since I've Been Loving You.
Gallows Pole
Tea for One
Custard Pie
The list goes on

Also too, I've had the benefit of listening to at least 100 Zep bootlegs. For hardcore fans it really gives an insight as to the progression of the band throught the years. The Earls Court DVD? Had it on VHS 15 years ago but not as good quality. For Badge Holders Only (LA Forum '77) is still one of my favourites.

My favourite Zep site and for players, very accurate tabs. Enjoy and long live The Mighty Zeppelin.

At least on Zeppelin we can agree That's a great site. Also,The Rain Song is my second favorite song to play on the guitar right after The Tea Party's Winter Solstice.

You should know everything there is to know about:
Stairway to Heaven (I didn't really have to say that)
Rock and Roll (The direct incarnation of rock)
Dazed and Confused (Just for being awesome)
Immigrant Song (See Dazed and Confused)
Heartbreaker (For sowing the seeds that would become metal)

Those are just the bare necessities, though.

whelming1

The lyrics to "Misty Mountain Hop" are quite underappreciated: "Why don't you take a good look at yourself and describe what you see -- and baby baby baby, do you like it? There you sit, spare, like a bowl on a shelf, rusting -- and not afraid to fight it?! You really don't care if they're coming?! I know. It's all a state of mind." The lyrics are hard to decipher, but once you know them, they grow on you. It's hard to imagine how that song came about. Lyrics first, then music? Or vice-versa? Surely the former.
You might be interested in the LZ article in last year's music issue of Vanity Fair. The new music issue is just out.

As much as I'd like a reunion, unfortunately I highly doubt that they will. Me being only 18, have never gotten a chance to see them live.
