I admit that I pretty soon encountered difficulties in selecting the worst after the first three at the bottom, and started thinking in terms of least good instead. "Ramble on" for example is not that bad but I don't think it contains a whole lot either and I've never been much into that song. And I remember the first time I listened to "Presence" how disappointed I was (well past the first track of course), but even that one has a certain groove to it.

A top ten list of their best would be too hard for me to accomplish as they after all is one of my favourite bands of all time. "Achilles" would top the list though.

Perhaps you could have dug deeper into Coda. Plus, there's some of that old timey sounding crap on How the West Was Won that just annoys the hell out of me and then there's D'yer Mak'er.

Worst Zeppelin Song: The Crunge

makes me want to gouge my ears

Dotoar · 01-16-2011, 01:43 PM

I've had my share of digging deep into Zeppelin's catalogue, after all they are one of my all-time favourites although I hardly ever listen to them anymore. I think that at least half of "Coda" is very worthy, bar those tracks I listed here. I think for example that "Bonzo's Montreaux" is actually a much more groovy listen than "Moby D i c k" and tracks like "Ozone baby" and "Poor Tom" could have fitted well onto the regular albums. And as for "The crunge" and "D'yer mak'er", well they aren't exactly masterpieces but I think they're a whole lotta fun.

Alright, I'll give the topic a try then:

10. Immigrant song
9. When the levee breaks
8. The rover
7. That's the way
6. Black dog
5. Over the hills and far away
4. No quarter
3. Dazed and confused
2. Since I've been loving you
1. Achilles last stand

Solid list. I'm liking the exclusion of StH, not cause it's a bad song but the fact that it's severely overrated. On a separate note, I've been thinking of adding When the Levee breaks to my top 10, recently

I'd just like to point out that When the Levee Breaks and Dazed/Confused are covers

So is Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You, but Zepp made all these examples better than the originals if you ask me
