curseddiamond Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Hi all, I'm a newbie to the site and have what may seem a bit of a random question for you all but here goes. My wife and I have been together for 3 years and in that time I've been introducing her to my taste in music, including of course Led Zeppelin. When I met her she was a fan of Westlife, Pink and Evanesance but she now loves to go to gigs with me (Black Stone Cherry, Alterbridge etc) and is really broadening her tastes. Tonight we've been listening to some great music and before we went to bed she said 'Ok one last song, if you are going to play me the ultimate Zep song, what's it going to be?' I stared at my Zep cds for ages trying to pick just the right track and in the end picked 'In my time of dying'. My question is - in my place what would YOU pick?

The Dark Lord Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Whoa, very tough one, but as a long term fan whose preferences have shifted over the years, I would need to know more about her tastes, and preferences. As of today (for my tastes), I would have to narrow it down from the following three: How Many More Times, In The Light, and Carouselambra. Maybe next time just throw a leg over, and leave the tough decisions for the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juxtiphi Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 You should have picked one of these, Thank You, Since I've Been Loving You, Ten Years Gone, Tangerine, That's The Way, All My Love. Any one of those songs would have your girl eating out of your hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pagefan55 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Play the mellower songs for her: The ones mentioned in juxtiphi's post above are excellent choices. The Rain Song is also good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melcórë Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 The "ultimate" Zeppelin song? Has to be either "Stairway," "When the Levee Breaks," or "Kashmir." Three really obvious choices, but there's a reason they're so popular, and why (at least at times) the band has stated their appreciation of them, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z1inspector Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 no no ,make her MIND EXPLODE & go off to dreamland being AMAZED & leave no doubt: WHY you & the world STILL regards Zep as BIG BOYS & after all these years STILL they rule "LIVE" ! play her most recient KASHMIR performed in 2007 ! NOTHING has blown more skeptical minds as that performance ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pagefan55 Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I agree with you, of course, but I also know that many women find Zep "too heavy." (Or too loud, raunchy, low-brow, etc.) When such women are exposed to the softer side of Zep, their opinions can change--a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyPhantom Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 If you fancy a wild one.. Bit of twerking to the crunge'll do it. Enjoy HA! I'd go with Stairway probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curseddiamond Posted April 18, 2014 Author Share Posted April 18, 2014 Thanks all for the suggestions, it's been great to get so much feedback :-) She's picked her favourite today and it's the 2007 live Kashmir version! A close second though was D'yer Mak'er which I thought was a bit left field until she said it was cos of Bonzo's great drum fills. I'm a very proud husband :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a very proud husband :-) That's the beauty of Led Zeppelin...something for everyone!! And something for every mood! I have a different favorite on any given day. I love how everyone gave you such diverse choices as the one song to play, it's this diverse appeal to so many that makes LZ truly unique and timeless. Btw...you can never go wrong with Kashmir, and back to your original post, In My Time of Dying is one of my top favorites!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chef free Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 KASHMIR is the ultimate Led Zeppelin song! Your wife must have good taste in music (and men!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jabe Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 If she's my wife, "Kashmir", hands down. If we're dating, and the relationship might elevate, The "Rain Song", followed by the "Wanton Song". Chiaroscuro, baby! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
