Strider Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 ^^^Great songs yet hardly underrated. They consistently show up on people's lists of favourite Led Zeppelin songs. Radio plays them a lot, too. My picks for most underrated song is "Royal Orleans", followed closely by "Four Sticks". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badgeholder Still Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 South Bound Suarez From the album where many claim Page and Bonham were too wiped out on drugs to deliver and Plant was overcome with grief comes this consistently overlooked and maligned unique ball of high energy. Someday it'll get it's due. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Rock And Roll' and 'Whole Lotta Love' are underrated. But, as a fan: 'Hey Hey What Can I Do' - my favorite Zeppelin song. 'Black Country Woman' - acoustic blues. I mean, c'mon, it's perfect! 'Bron-Y-Aur Stomp' - sometimes I think this is the most 'fun' Zeppelin song. 'Hot Dog' - I sometimes think I'm the only fan that loves this song. Lighten up, people! 'I'm Gonna Crawl' - Simply beautiful. Possibly my favorite Plant vocal. 'For Your Life' - Every song on Presence except 'Achilles' Last Stand' and 'Nobody's Fault But Mine' are rather underrated, but this song especially. 'Sick Again' - Simply awesome. 'What Is And What Should Never Be' - You know, this is probably my favorite song on II. 'Carouselambra' - Not one of the better tunes on In Through The Out Door, but still terrific. 'Out On The Tiles' - Wish I heard a full live version of this awesome song. 'Celebration Day' - while I'm glad I have heard a few live versions of this equally awesome song. 'Night Flight' - Along with 'Ten Years Gone', it's the best track on the second record of Physical Graffiti. Admit it! Say, how underrated would you say 'Houses of the Holy' and 'Trampled Under Foot' are? They're just so damn awesome, I'm starting to think they're the best songs the band ever did. Especially true with 'TUF'. Wow, pretty much exactly ^this! I'd only add The Wanton Song. It does not get the props ot deserves. A simple pub rock song, but killer. And that organ bit in the middle! epic. Oh and when the re-releases came out and I had starved myself from Zep for a few months as a build up, When I heard Babe I'm Gonna Leave You - I had to stop listening as I was so overcome by the fact this was just the second song off their first album and I couldn't beleive it. (I may or may not have been a tad high). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't rate "Four Sticks" highly until the P/P shows with the orchestral backing. Been in love with it ever since and really like the companion disc version. It's more raw and aggressive, IMO. 15 hours ago, Badgeholder Still said: South Bound Suarez From the album where many claim Page and Bonham were too wiped out on drugs to deliver and Plant was overcome with grief comes this consistently overlooked and maligned unique ball of high energy. Someday it'll get it's due. Absolutely! Anytime I put together a Zep disc for the car, 9 times out of 10 SBS ends up on there. Wish they would've had a slightly different version on the companion disc, just for a different perspective - like "The Epic". For me, "Celebration Day" is my favorite underrated gem. Not so much in Zeppelin circles, as it was featured on two separate tours - plus the '79 shows. But I rarely have heard it on the radio, even during 'Get The Led Out' segments - unless, of course, I was the dj.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi_Zep_Fan87 Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 My picks (I've finally got them in order!): Candy Store Rock For Your Life Hots On For Nowhere Royal Orleans The Crunge South Bound Suarez Out On The Tiles Celebration Day Brilliant songs but so bloody underrated, IMHO! OK. Don't laugh. Because of songs like Candy Store Rock, Hots On For Nowhere, For Your Life, Tea For One, Achilles Last Stand and of course, the brilliant and explosive Nobody's Fault But Mine, Presence has been my favourite Led Zeppelin album of all time, for years - above PG, IV, etc. Yes siree, Bob!!!

Mercurious Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Does Led Zep have any overrated songs? One can never rate a Zep song too highly, but I do think "Hot Dog" is probably underappreciated. South Bound Saurez was the first underrated to come to mind, then Candy Store Rock. The Wanton Song is buried on Side 4 of PS, but I dunno - is anything on I, II, IV, HotH or PS really underrated? I was pretty damn stoked when Jimmy and the Black Crowes kicked into that when I saw them, so I did feel at one point that it might be one of those underrated gems.

Mercurious Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Funny, got into an SUV going from one place to another tonight and "South Bound Saurez" was on the menu. No question, that's the most underrated, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stairway is NOT stolen Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 45% of Physical Graffiti, 85% of Presence, and all of In through The Outdoor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the chase Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 You Shook Me.. Even the boys dropped it from their live set pretty early. It has possibly the meanest, coolest tone Jimmy Page ever got out of an electric guitar.. Yep it's a cover, Jeff Beck was pissed LZ also covered it. .. It kicks ass on all levels. I've heard it on the radio maybe a half dozen times in 40+ years.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grasbo Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Out on the Tiles.I remember a band I was in tried it and we couldn't get it, and that was before we thought about the vocals. That's The Way.Saw a folk band do it,acoustic guitar,bass,flute,autoharp,female vocals.Magic. Tea for One.Many say its too slow and plodding.But it breathes,Plants vocals are world weary but haunting as is Page's magic solo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingzoso Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Led Zeppelin's most underrated song, in my opinion, is Led Zeppelin's greatest song: In the Light (you will find the road...): I really and honestly think that In the Light is the Greatest Song of all-time. If anyone wants to challenge Me or question Me on this, I am and will always be available to answer and defend MY choices and comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffsofpage Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Since this question can be interpreted in so many ways I'm gonna stretch the interpretation further: Without a doubt, all of the Firm, Outrider, and Plant's first solo album deserved much MUCH more attention/appreciation. Otherwise, by the rules, acoustic stuff from III, and a lot of Presence - I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
