Best Zeppelin song?
 

For me it would be either
Thank You
Ramble On or
Ten Years Gone

put em on the glass

Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You
(Trad. Arr. Jimmy Page)


Babe, baby, baby, I'm Gonna Leave You.
I said baby, you know I'm gonna leave you.
I'll leave you when the summertime,
Leave you when the summer comes a-rollin'
Leave you when the summer comes along.

Baby, baby, I don't wanna leave you,
I ain't jokin' woman, I got to ramble.
Oh, yeah, baby, baby, I believin',
We really got to ramble.
I can hear it callin' me the way it used to do,
I can hear it callin' me back home!

Babe...I'm gonna leave you
Oh, baby, you know, I've really got to leave you
Oh I can hear it callin 'me
I said don't you hear it callin' me the way it used to do?

I know I never never never gonna leave your babe
But I got to go away from this place,
I've got to quit you, yeah
Baby, ooh don't you hear it callin' me?
Woman, woman, I know, I know
It feels good to have you back again
And I know that one day baby, it's really gonna grow, yes it is.
We gonna go walkin' through the park every day.
Come what may, every day

It was really, really good.
You made me happy every single day.
But now... I've got to go away!

Baby, baby, baby, baby
That's when it's callin' me
I said that's when it's callin' me back home...

for me to many good ones to pick just one

I love Page's acoustic on there.

whole lotta love because of that explosive solo. very unique. raw power

for some unknown reason going to california stands out in my book big time too

that song always gives me chills.......love the emotion behind it all

Kashmir without a doubt... even though Puffy & Page tried their best to destroy it.

way way way 2 many for me to list just one...........but here's a gem that if you don't know about it, go DL it as its a masterpiece by Led Zepp:

No Quarter

Some of Zeps best lyrics

Oh let the sun beat down upon my face, stars to fill my dream
I am a traveler of both time and space, to be where I have been
To sit with elders of the gentle race, this world has seldom seen
They talk of days for which they sit and wait and all will be revealed

Yup, I agree 100%. Too many good ones to be able to pick.
One of only a few bands that don't need a greatest hits disc.

They are clearly one of the greatest bands ever.

:2 cents:

stairway to heaven!!!! LOVE that song!!!!!

whole lots of love
cannonball
you dont have to go

Dazed and confused.


Period

i was just gonna say..no one has posted the best yet... i think this is the greatest song they made

good choice :thumbsup

They only wrote that song so DJ's could go smoke a joint and take a break

When I can't get myself motivated to start working on something, I put on The Song Remains the Same. That ALWAYS gets me going. Never again will there be a band like Zeppelin.

Absolutely, they are timeless!!! I love to hear Rock and Roll in the car @ 100miles+ per hr OOOOOHHHHH YEAH OOH OOH YEAH.....

Indeed way to many to list but No Quarter is without a doubt in my top 10.

The Lemon Song is kick ass as well.

and Just a PS..... I saw them Live in their hey day 2-3 times:winkwink:

Probably my favorite band of all time. Hard to name the best song, for me thats like deciding between who is the prettiest girl of all time. An unoriginal choice, but the end of Stairway to heaven ALWAYS gets the radio turned up. Always.

I can tell you which live music DVD is the best on the market though. Its the last Zeppelin one, "How the West Was Won". Really stunning live material, especially the set from 1969 in England.

that impressed me so much i had to click on that trinket in your sig

blackdog

Travelling Riverside Blues is good but not the best...
First time I heard Stairway to heaven I almost cried at 14

Are these lyrics just drippin' with lust for his woman or wha?.......followed by depression as he realizes the bitch is just usin' him............

BLACK DOG

Hey, hey, mama, said the way you move
Gonna make you sweat, gonna make you groove.
Oh, oh, child, way you shake that thing
Gonna make you burn, gonna make you sting.
Hey, hey, baby, when you walk that way
Watch your honey drip, can?t keep away.

*ah yeah, ah yeah, ah, ah, ah., ah yeah, ah yeah, ah, ah, ah.

I gotta roll, can?t stand still,
Got a flame in my heart, can?t get my fill,
Eyes that shine burning red,
Dreams of you all thru my head.
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah.

Hey, baby, oh, baby, pretty baby,
Tell me what you do me now.
(repeat)

Didn?t take too long ?fore I found out
What people mean my down and out.
Spent my money, took my car,
Started tellin? her friends she wants to be a star.
I don?t know but I been told
A big legged woman ain?t got no soul.

* chorus

All I ask for when I pray,
Steady rollin? woman gonna come my way.
Need a woman gonna hold my hand
And tell me no lies, make me a happy man.

NO QUARTER

........a great song about the sacrifice and doom of war......

Close the door, put out the light.
No, they won?t be home tonight.
The snow falls hard and don?t you know?
The winds of thor are blowing cold.
They?re wearing steel that?s bright and true
They carry news that must get through, oooh
They choose the path where no-one goes.
They hold no quarter, they hold no quarter.
Walking side by side with death
The devil mocks their every step
The snow drives back the foot that?s slow
The dogs of doom are howling more
They carry news that must get through
To build a dream for me and you
They choose the path where no-one goes.
They hold no quarter, they ask no quarter.
The pain, the pain without quarter.
They ask no quarter.
Yeah! without quarter, quarter, yeah!
The dogs of doom are howling more!
I hear the dogs of doom are howling more!


----------a masterpiece of music

:thumbsup

Thank You and Rock n roll.

Babe I´m gonna leave you
Stairway to heaven
Kashmir

:thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

KASHMIR

Oh let the sun beat down upon my face, stars to fill my dream
I am a traveler of both time and space, to be where I have been
To sit with elders of the gentle race, this world has seldom seen
They talk of days for which they sit and wait and all will be revealed

Talk and song from tongues of lilting grace, whose sounds caress my ear
But not a word I heard could I relate, the story was quite clear
Oh, oh.

Oh, I been flying... mama, there ain?t no denyin?
I?ve been flying, ain?t no denyin?, no denyin?

All I see turns to brown, as the sun burns the ground
And my eyes fill with sand, as I scan this wasted land
Trying to find, trying to find where I?ve been.

Oh, pilot of the storm who leaves no trace, like thoughts inside a dream
Heed the path that led me to that place, yellow desert stream
My shangri-la beneath the summer moon, I will return again
Sure as the dust that floats high and true, when movin? through kashmir.

Oh, father of the four winds, fill my sails, across the sea of years
With no provision but an open face, along the straits of fear
Ohh.

When I?m on, when I?m on my way, yeah
When I see, when I see the way, you stay-yeah

Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, when I?m down...
Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, well I?m down, so down
Ooh, my baby, oooh, my baby, let me take you there

Let me take you there. let me take you there

Stairway to Heaven & Kashmir!

jDoG

I love that scene in "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" where they cut to the car scene and they're cruising along, and "Kashmir" is blaring out..............

I also love the Phoebe Cates tit scene at the pool :Graucho

Damn, I could never figure out what that song was about.

"No Quarter" is a song about war.........the term is a "war term" meaning "no mercy given, no mercy asked for"

........and Paige's guitar playing on it is dark and ominous, and terrific

My favorite song of theirs is when they cover that old classic William Hung song, "She Bangs"!!!

Whats funny about that is Damone told him to play side two of Zeppelin 4 and Kashmir is on Physical Graffiti.

I know :1orglaugh

I remember thinking that the very first time I saw that movie, and it goes thru my head everytime too..........that it ain't on IV.....

btw, I think that was one of the greatest "teenage movies" ever made

I agree:thumbsup Beautiful song, everytime I hear it I get goosebumps.

ah u gotta love the zep

its an extremly long song, but everytime im on psychedelics it has more and more meaning to it . :)

It is a damn good song but geeez, heard it so many times.

Too many to chose from. They were so great and so versatile.

When the Levy Breaks

Zep is most most most favoritesousis band of all time.

Over the Hills and Far Away

Staiway to Heaven
Black Dog
Hot Dog :glugglug

yeah, gotta go with stairway to heaven on this one for sure.

:GFYBand

One of their very best!
