But, I cave......what songs, other than "Good Times, Bad Times" by LZ do you enjoy playing? Any?

Why do Zep fanbois insist on doing that schtick?

Really, that fucking annoys me. Sure, they were influential THEN on the bluesrock scene, but as far as metal, folk/rock and similar they were FAR surpassed by Sabbath and Fairport Convention. Seriously, I grew up in the 80s and Zep have never really been a big influence on anything I've done (apart from Jones/Bonham). I've always been quite vocal in not appreciating Page and Plant much.

I insist you specify properly.

For just about every genre I hear the Zep fanbois say they influenced I can almost always come up with a better and more influential band.
Granted, Jimmy came up with some reallly cool riffs (or did he really, by court of law?), but other than the 2 John's - they weren't too much to brag about live.

Fucking hell, micwalt sings Black Dog better than Plant ever did imo.

Whenever I hear some twat say that Zep was a bigger influence on metal than Sabbath I want to smack them with my Hand of Doom...

ain't got a fave Zep tune, not that big a fan.
Black Dog's okay, I guess.

**Aahzz** · 04-09-2011, 11:56 AM

I went through a huge Zep phase in my early twenties, and then I realized that Plant can't fucking sing.

Still, I have some favorites.

Ten Years Gone. Particularly the Page/Crowes version.

Of course, it was the Page/Crowes collaboration that really illustrated for me what I'd been hearing for years, that Page is a damn sloppy player. The end of his solo almost ruins the Crowes version of Ten Years Gone for me, but Chris and the boys make up for it.

Other Zep faves
Rain Song
Houses of the Holy
Gallows Pole

When I first started with lessons, there was a series of "easy guitar tab" books on the market & every shop had them. My teacher recommended the Zep book so most of the first real rock songs that I learned on guitar were Led Zep songs....my folks had several LPs that I used to spin as a kid so I was game. I'm not a huge fan but I like 'em. This is one of my favorites:

Carouselambra for me as well,just because it's one of those Zep songs you don't hear on the radio ad nauseum. Also because the keyboards in it make it sound cooler than the normal Zep tune.

And while I'm at it... the kittehs have something to say..... not a bad tune either IMHO.

That's really hard, as they are one of my favorite rock bands... Achilles Last Stand and Kashmir are such great songs... Still, I would pick No Quarter as my favorite...

This sums up my position. "Achilles Last Stand" is ridiculous..the drums, the bass, how Page builds up the guitars..the solo is one of his best..and Plants melody on top of that. Just ridiculous.

Also, I was listening to "Houses of the Holy" earlier, and when "The Song Remains The Same" kicks in...I was thinking there had never been a song that sounded ANYTHING at all like it before..that I'm aware of at least. A completely original rock song.

I'm actually not a massive fan of Zeps earlier blues rock stuff..it's fine, but for me, they really came into their own from "Houses of the Holy" onwards..just totally different, much funkier, heavier and weirder too. "Presence" is my favourite album. Ever.
