There's a lot of great songs, but I think it's Travelling Riverside Blues.

Kashmir


I was tossing up between that and Hey Hey What Can I Do. Both are b-sides, but I really think it's as good as anything they've ever done. Myself, I don't care for the Physical Graffitti songs as much. Other favourites would be Black Dog or The Ocean. I like Led Zeppelin III the best overall.

"Hey Hey What Can I Do" is the only Zeppelin song I won't change the station on.

It's a fucking great song. I'm amazed that it's a b-side, considering some of the crap they've released.

But, does it violate the rule that you cannot appear on your own tribute album (i.e. Robert Plant & Tori Amos)?

Also, wasn't Collective Soul on this? Timmy...?

Although this sentiment has undoubtedly been raised before, maybe it's better sometimes if our cultural heroes and icons gracefully stepped away and had a graceful last curtain call before self-parody or worse, descended and laid waste upon the legacy that was once great.

e.g. Plant and Coverdale

I'll go for Misty Mountain Hop to if only because the bit were Plant goes "WHAAA---WHAAA---WHAAAAT DO YOU THINK IIIIIII SAAAAAWWW!!!!!!" is my favourite 4 seconds of recorded sound.

Plant's solo albums are all very good.

Coverdale has a legacy?

Just as long as you pronounce the title correctly. :wink:


I'm a sucker for "Tangerine" myself...but they had so many great songs. If you can't appreciate the songcraft in Led Zep I can't help ya.

Hideous hair and Tawny Kitaen stink.

Page's association with this creep certifies my earlier sentiment. Those Page-Plant albums were nearly as bad. But yeah, Plant's albums weren't too bad, but they weren't fucking great.
