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.
