But I think my list would vary from week to week. Right now I've been listening to a lot of Led Zeppelin III stuff, so if I made this list now, half of the songs would be from that album.

Thats a good thing. It shows the true talent of the band. That theres SO many songs you can fit in a favorite list. And they rotate. I took the cheap way out and snuck 11 into 10.

I like Stairway to Heaven and Tangerine.

Dreran the Green · 02-08-2004, 12:27 PM

No one else mentioned it, But my favorite is Ramble On.

Hey, I-Rex, I decided to watch a "all the music videos ever released" of the RHCPs last night, so I could say that I'd given them a chance. I learned two things: Kiedis never wears a shirt, and the bassist likes to play in his underwear.

Well, I *still* don't like them - particularly their later stuff, but I did find a few earlier songs that I liked circa '92-94, and surprisingly enough, my main objection to their later stuff doesn't come from the guitar/bass playing, which is generally bang on, but the god-awful singing style.

Okay, back on topic now: there's no way I could make a list of fav led zep songs - it changes every other week. Besides, I can't even manage to do that with Beatles hits, let along with zep ones.

music videos? you shmuck go to a wild party where they are playing Give It Away and everyone is jumping up and down and its just chaos and THATS where you find the soul of the RHCP. Not on stupid music videos designed to appeal to teens. Kiedis has always had a massive ego about his body and sexual prowess. Its part of his whole shtick. He even has a pretty strict fitness code for members of the band. So they can all look good prancing around stage topless and the girls can drool. And flea you just gotta love cause hes just the goofiest thing around and he doesnt care. Ive seen him play a whole concert in just his underwear while standing on a stool. But anyway thats all really unimportant. Its the raw energy of the group that really makes them work. not Kiedis's voice (who cares really. this aint opera) or their macho half tongue in cheek antics. Its the ability they have to wind things up like a rubber band and just set it going. Thats what I find appealing about them anyway. And yeah most definitely the older stuff is the highest quality stuff although theyve had good stuff even up till their most recent album which was a disapointment.

I always knew those vikings were just big pussy cats.

Lalaith_Elf · 02-16-2004, 01:15 PM

That's sweet.... though makes me feel slightly sea sick....

I like Stairway to Heaven and Battle of Evermore. (Just to name two

)

Twice, and it could have been three times if I would have cut school in '75.

Well, A live Dazed & Comnfused is really something, as is live Whole Lotta Love. Achillies I heard in 77 live, but I was pretty wasted at that show.

Yes, the Live DVD... Its great, especially the Earls Court acoustic stuff. Seeing this DVD will show anyone why Bonzo could not just be replaced. They did the right thing by disbanding after his death.

Nothing · 12-09-2004, 08:41 PM

Stairway to Heaven is my favourite.

Snowdog · 12-10-2004, 03:16 PM

When I first got LZ IV, I thought Stairway was the worst song on the album. Of course that song is what the mighty Zep is known for.

Rûdhaglarien · 12-15-2004, 12:32 AM

I'd have to put "The Immigrant Song," "Dazed and Confused," and "The Battle of Evermore" as my three favourites.

Snowdog · 12-15-2004, 03:34 PM

Three very worthy songs Rûdhaglarien!

Incidentally, I'd have to agree.

Embladyne · 12-17-2004, 12:46 AM

My favourite Zepplin song is Kashmir, and then the Battle of Evermore. My dad would play Evermore a lot when I was pretty young...and then when I finally started playing his records myself, I discovered how cool Kashmir is. I don't know exactly why...something about it just makes me really happy.

ItalianLegolas · 01-23-2005, 06:48 PM

can't agree with you more Embladyne, my favorites would be Immigrant Song, Kashmir, Battle of Evermore, and Ramble On, the last 2 because they have LoTR themes in them
