Led Zeppelin

[crashNUMBERS]

Im sure Im about to get shot for saying this. But here goes nothing. I downloaded three of their songs. "Stairway To Heaven", "Moby Dick", and "Immigrant Song". I have to say. I wasn't impressed. Stairway to heaven was slower than Radio Head's "Exit Music". And I have to tell ya. I don't like slow songs that much with some exceptions (<B>EX:</B> Karma Police, Paranoid Android). Moby Dick was cool at first but then I heard it a second time and was illed by the "No Lyrics" technique. I really liked the "Immigrant Song" though. It's pretty kick ass. But my main topic is that what is a good Led Zeppelin song to download??

Please and thanks...

I'm not much for classic rock, but I love Stairway to Heaven. It's a bit too subtle for me, but it's a thousand times better than most stuff these days, in my opinion.

Led Zepplin may not seem so great now, but they were absolutely phenominal in the 70s. Anyway, Stairway to Heaven is one of the most amazing songs known to rock. Although, it has got creepy reverse lyrics...

[XxSephirothxX]

Stairway to Heaven is much better than everything I've heard by Radiohead. But if you can't take slow songs, download Black Dog and Rock and Roll from Led Zeppelin IV. Black Dog simply kicks all kinds of ass.

Tangerine

Kashmir

Communication Breakdown

Not everybody likes Zepp. If you prefer Radiohead then listen to Radiohead

[raskerino]

Immigrant Song is wonderful I also like:

Black Dog
Communication Breakdown
I'll post some more maybe but I'm bad at remembering names...
Oh yeah
Fool in the Rain, it's repetitive, not as good as the others but I know how to play it on guitar

I do like radio head but I never preffered them over. I only heard 3 Led songs and I have a whole RH CD...

Moby Dick was cool at first but then I heard it a second time and was illed by the "No Lyrics" technique.

I've never heard the studio version of Moby Dick to be honest, but it is a drum solo you know. If lyrics are your bag best to stay away. If one of the greatest drummers of all time going nuts is your thing though, get some live versions of Moby Dick; they generally run around 20 minutes.

As for some good Zeppelin to get, here's a not so short list based on the fact that you liked Immigrant Song and found Stairway too slow ( ).

Good Times Bad Times
Communication Breakdown
How Many More Times
Whole Lotta Love
Heartbreaker
Bring It on Home
Black Dog
Rock And Roll
Four Sticks
Dancing Days
The Ocean
In the Evening
Nobody's Fault But Mine

And if you can find a live version of Achille's Last Stand do yourself a favour and download it. The studio version wasn't bad, but the live version on the Led Zeppelin DVD was 100 times better. I had a friend who's a bigger Zep fan than I who hated the song until he saw the live version.

I really like Led Zep, but I've never been a fan of Stairway to Heaven. Ever. I, personally, think there are much better songs out there to listen to; Achilles Last Stand is awesome, as is Black Dog, Nobody's Fault But Mine, blah blah you get it. Try out some of their other stuff; 3 songs isn't very much. :D

[krissy]

it won't help to compare led zep to radiohead though
two different games they're playing

This is true.

Achilles Last Stand is probably my favourite Zep song. All the essentials I can think of, based on your taste, have already been listed.

And yes, Stairway to Heaven is overrated. Zeppelin as a whole, however, is not.

[Leeza]

<i>Immigrant Song</i> is one of my favourites all around. <i>Stairway to Heaven</i> as well.

[-N-]

Achilles Last Stand is probably my favourite Zep song.

And perhaps their most underrated. I love it as well.

Suggestions I haven't seen but would probably fit your taste:
Song Remains the Same
Houses of the Holy
Trampled Underfoot
Achilles Last Stand

[Yamaneko]

Achilles' Last Stand is good, but doesn't come to represent what Led Zeppelin is all about. Zeppelin I-IV (Untitled, whatever) are must-haves. Stairway to Heaven is the quintesencial 70's Rock song. I've always liked Dancing Days.

3 songs isn't very much.

Like I said. I can't compare 3 songs to a whole CD of two way different bands... ;D
