nick2632 Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Out of all the studio Zeppelin songs what is everyone's favorite short song (under 3 minutes)? So you don't have to get out all your albums here's a list.. -Good Times Bad Times -Black Mountain Side -Communication Breakdown -Living Loving Maid (She's Just A Woman) -Immigrant Song -Bron-Yr-Aur -Royal Orleans My favorite is Communication Breakdown. Though Good Times Bad Times is extremely hard to beat! I was going to add We're Gonna Groove off Coda, but it's a live track with overdubs so I decided not to. Zeppelin definitely wasn't a band that created a bunch of simple 2-3 minute songs, only 7 of their (I think) 84 songs they recorded in the studio.

IpMan Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Bron-Yr-Aur & Royal Orleans for me. BYA is a song Jimmy should have played more often live, I would have much preferred this over the 10 min of WS/BMS any day. Royal Orleans is an overlooked gem and a very, very good song. The lyrics both paint a picture and are funny as hell; the arrangement is perfect, the drumming is totally different than anything Bonzo had ever done, and the song is just, well, perfect IMO.

sixpense Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Good Times, Bad Times is my favorite short song. I think Living Loving Maid is the worst song of their entire catalogue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mithril46 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Bron-yr-Aur. Someone mentioned this played live, but the few versions I heard The guitar just wasn't really in tune and Page didn't really play too Smoothly, but there could be some good versions out there. Unlike WS/BMS , This song requires a constant rolling rhythm and should Be played close to the studio version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregg Gusta Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 To me at least, From the very first instant Good times bad times is LZ's way of saying hello, we're led zeppelin, we are in charge from here on out, things will never be the same for you or for us.This is our calling card, So I will always come back to that song as sort of their unofficial 'Official' Brand song. I am not here to argue. I know people love to argue on forums, this is just the way I see it. Reasonable people can always disagree. bron-yr-aur is beautiful and at that point in their career, they could just do whatever they felt like doing so long as it met their own expectations and standards.

The Old Hermit Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Oh, it's definitely the quite lovely 'Bron Yr Aur'... when I heard it for the very first time in early August last year, it was nothing short of a revelation and I pretty much had it on a loop for the rest of the day if not week! When you listen to that little acoustic piece, it conjures feelings/images of the most beautiful English lass I've never met, in a rolling meadow I've never been to, on the most gloriously bright and sunny perfect day I've yet to experience... Y'know what? I'm off to listen to it again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
