Which is the best Zeppelin song? - cougarguard.com — unofficial BYU Cougars / LDS sports, football, basketball forum and message board

I'm listening to "Kashmir" as I read and it crossed my mind, "Can you pick one Zeppelin song as the best?" I think it would be mighty hard to do, but the music in this one is awesome.

On a stupid sidenote, I remember in junior high when we had dances I would wait until they played "Stairway" to ask the hottest girl to dance. (Yeah, slow dancing to Stairway?) But if I only got one shot at each dance, it was going to be to the longest song. I'm not sure if she ever caught on that I she was always dancing with me during that one song.

Impossible to pick...Achilles Last Stand. Whole Lotta Love. Those are up there. Kashmir too.

That's like asking a parent to pick a favorite child....

Tough call, but I would have to go with "Rock & Roll".

Yeah, I remember slow-dancing to "Stairway to Heaven" also. It was always awkward deciding when to give up the embrace at the end of the song.

I'd go with "When the Levee Breaks".

I'll second this one.

It's hard to decide what is even the best song on each album:

I: dazed and confused
II: ramble on
III: immigrant song
IV: stairway to heaven

No one wants to say Stairway to Heaven for the same reason that the guitar shop in the movie Wayne's World has a sign "No Stairway to Heaven".

Wow....I listen to most genres of music, but picking a favorite Led Zeppelin song is not something I'm sure I can do.

I can pick a bunch of favorite Zeppelin songs together though.

OhioBlue · 10-10-2006, 03:28 PM

for me, it's Ramble On.

Archaea · 10-10-2006, 03:36 PM

What nobody picked the "Lemon Song"? I wonder if I would be banned on CB for mentioning that song.

Whole lotta Love, Kashmir, Stairway, geeze not possible.

Venkman · 10-10-2006, 03:38 PM

No way I could pick one favorite.

When the Leavee breaks is definitely on my list. Also, Whole Lotta Love, Ramble On, That's the Way, Black Dog, Over the Hills and Far Away, Immigrant Song, Kashmir, Tangerine.

Honorable mention to Hot Dog - for a long time that was as country as I got. Fun song.
