My favorite songs and why:

#1
Babe I'm Gonna Leave You
Even though they didn't write this song... they sure as hell sound like they did. The intensity that Robert Plant sings this makes my heart race at times. And the genius guitar work by Jimmy doesn't hurt things one bit. The transitions that take the soft parts into the loud choruses just pause enough make you want that intense chorus so bad. God I love it. And something tells me Robert Plant used this line on a few women in his day hehe.

#2
Hey Hey What Can I Do
The lyrics are completely what sold me on this song. Robert makes you feel for him in this one, because hey hey what can he possible do? He loves the woman, but, she's just a good ol fashion skank and thats all there is to it

(Not the whole song just the best part)
Sunday morning when we go down to church
See the menfolks standin' in line
Don´t say they come to pray to the Lord
but when my little girl, looks so fine
In the evening when the sun is sinkin' low
Everybody's with the one they love
I walk the town, Keep a-searchin' all around
Lookin' for my street corner girl

I got a woman, wanna ball all day
I got a woman, she won't be true, no no
I got a woman, stay drunk all the time
I said I got a little woman and she won't be true

In the bars, with the men who play guitars
Singin', drinkin' and rememberin' the times
My little lover does the midnight shift
She fool around all of the time
I guess there's just one thing left for me to do
So I pack my bags and move on my way
Cause I got a worried mind
Sharin'what I thought was mine
Gonna leave her where the guitars play


#3
I Can't Quit You Babe
I will repeat the beginning of this song over and over. When he shouts AWWWWWWWWUHAAAAAAAAWWWWWW.... I CAN'T QUIT YOU.. BABE.... and the music just bursts in, it is a very statement-making beginning. I blare this one out on my speakers on the school bus all the time. People argue back and forth that Led Zep wasn't blues, and I agree that they were not exclusively blues but a good mixture of things including it. Because if you don't think this song is blues, then you gotta be crazy.

#4
What Is And What Should Never Be
Such beauty. The beginning is so gentle and sweet and then it takes a turn with that intense chorus that I love so much that takes the song to a whole....notha......level. The lazy drifty guitar bit that Jimmy plays around the middle just makes me melt.

#5
Bron-Yr-Aur Stomp
An odd choice, I know. But this just makes me so proud of Led Zeppelin because it shows that they can do about anything, and do it well. Very upbeat and feel-goody. Especially the part where Plant sings Hear the wind within the trees,
Telling mother nature bout you and me
.
That opening guitar is fantastic. Jimmy had to have tore that poor guitar to shreds after this number. He definitely got the cobwebs out, thats for sure. Oh and its LIVE.

Great point and good post FC

I like very song really, but an especially appreciative nod for your number 2 selection, one of the only Zeppelin tunes not to make a final cut for a studio album, but a great tune nonetheless. The lyrics are fantastic: "Got a Woman stay drunk all the time" that's my favorite line.

If you're posting in the music forums make sure to be thoughtful and expressive, if you're posting in the lounge ask yourself "is this something that adds to the conversation?" It's important to remember that a lot of people use each thread. You're probably not as funny or clever as you think, I know I'm not.

If the (non-)musical bands that you have in your signature are your favorite bands, saying Led Zeppelin is an overrated band doesn't say too good about your criteria.

¿"Bullet for my Valentine"? WTF

My big 5:

#1 Stairway to Heaven (sorry for being too original)
#2 Ten Years Gone
#3 Battle of Evermore
#4 All my love
#5 Your time is gonna come
