KBear Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 Just felt like starting a LZ thread as their reunion show is a month away (home stretch!) and I'm increasingly becoming interested in this band.I've always known a bunch of their songs as my Dad was into LZ, but I'm just now going to buy some of their albums for myself and there are probably a fair number of songs I've yet to hear. I'll start off with Houses of the Holy and III, mainly because my two favourite songs are off those albums. Over the Hills and Far Away (which is a song I've known and dug for many years), and Tangerine, which believe it or not I had no idea of this song's existence a mere two weeks ago. I heard it on the radio and immediately went online to find out what it was. Fuckin' awesome tune - it just might be my new favorite song. Immigrant Song is another great track. Yeah, I know, there's a bunch more.So what songs are your favourites? What albums do you like most? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lithium Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 "Tangerine" has to be my all time favourite Zepp-song, while "Over the Hills and Far Away" is my current favourite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxlsAngel Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 I don't think I could pick just one, but I'm partial to Black Dog, Kashmir, Whole Lotta Love and I'm sure there's a couple more I'm not thinking of right now. They just plain ROCK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all excellent. I like a lot of it more than Zeppelin. I think his covers album, "Dreamland" is ESPECIALLY good. All those songs he made completely his. Totally different, totally awesome. Mighty Rearranger was great, especially because I saw him live in the front row on that tour haha.I also agree about Page's solo stuff, except with the Black Crowes. However, all that was was the Black Crowes playing Zeppelin songs and a couple of their own songs, so that doesn't really count I suppose.

Mr_Oujamaflip Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 Hmm, Since I've Been Loving You, Tea For One, Tangerine, Bron Yr Aur and The Rain Song are songs I can listen to forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moreblack Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 Plant's solo stuff is ok, but not really even that good. But he's had some standout moments like 2 or 3 songs on Fate Of Nations. But the voice just isn't there.I love the work JPJ did with Diamanda Galas, and his own solo albums Zooma and Thunderthief.Page is hit or miss depending on the album and song but there's also some killer riffs and solos in there, particularly on Outrider. Great work with Roy Harper as well, and of course the Death Wish II soundtrack. Midnight Moonlight should've been a Zeppelin song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, all that was was the Black Crowes playing Zeppelin songs and a couple of their own songs, so that doesn't really count I suppose.I'm just missing the honey drippers albums he did in the mid 80s? doing doo-wop and stuff - need to pick that up. I also saw Plant on the rearanger tour a couple years ago and I would agree...it was a transcendental experience. The new album is fantastic...effortless and beautiful all around. Really eclectic choice of songs as well. The Black Crowes album doesn't count in my opinion as a solo album really.Plant's solo stuff is ok, but not really even that good. But he's had some standout moments like 2 or 3 songs on Fate Of Nations. But the voice just isn't there.I love the work JPJ did with Diamanda Galas, and his own solo albums Zooma and Thunderthief.Page is hit or miss depending on the album and song but there's also some killer riffs and solos in there, particularly on Outrider. Great work with Roy Harper as well, and of course the Death Wish II soundtrack. Midnight Moonlight should've been a Zeppelin song.Now and Zen is a fantastic Plant album from 88 and I'm also a fan of Manic Nirvana from '90 which has Tie Dye on the Highway I also enjoy the world music he does later - especially that one song off of 66 to timbuktu from timbuktu "Win My Train Fair Home" Personally i dig the strange sensation as a band and they have a really good groove going. I hated Outrider...ugh...just boring redux in my opinion...perhaps I should listen to it again, it's been years...I'm not really all too familiar with his other stuff other than cloverdale which was a let down.I saw JPJ this past summer and thought he was one of the greatest performers I've ever seen on the bass...never got into solo stuff but I should...
