...OTHAFA is your number one...interesting....what is it about that tune that makes it your favorite? (not judging, just interested and intrigued...cheers)

Love these discussions - I'll try my best to explain. ^_^

OTHAFA was the first Zeppelin song that I fell absolutely head over heels for, the very first time I listened to it. It took me a bit to really start appreciating some of the more blues-oriented, improvisational songs... I say all the time that LZ has helped me mature as a music listener. But OTHAFA stuck with me from the beginning.

I guess what stands out the most to me are all of the contrasts in the song (I guess my username is appropriate :lol:). It's a song I can relax to and rock out to at the same time - it's all at once romantic and cynical, adventurous and pondering, joyous and melancholy, etc. (at least, that's how I interpret it). I also mentioned in the producer thread that it's (in my opinion) one of the most beautifully arranged/produced songs that's ever been recorded - a perfect demonstration of musicality from all the band members. Not to mention, of course, the great spontaneity and urgency that's present for the live versions.

I also have a soft spot for that introduction and its connection to White Summer; I originally got into Zeppelin after watching a video of Jimmy performing WS/BMS. When it comes down to it, I think it's that nostalgia that keeps OTHAFA as my #1. :)

I love your list, any of your choices could easily be in my top ten on any given day. I'm interested as to why you ranked Down By the Seaside so highly (I love it too, just curious as to your reasons). Cheers! :drinks:

Beautifully written. You;d make a great music reviewer!.....

Re: "Down By The Seaside", it was one of the first tunes that had me glued to PG when it came out. That song was kinda unique with the tremolo guitar and keys playing off each other to Bonhams "summery" beat. It just shuffled nicely along until that funky breakdown that took the song in a completely different direction before returning back to it's origin. Brilliant song writing and I wish I could go back and be a fly on the wall during this one.

Back then it was all about the music for me.

But as I got older and started to take notice of Plant, more for his lyric writing, and not just for his voice as an added instrument, I took notice of certain lyrics and lines. In this song he is almost profit-like with the line....."and show your love for Lady Nature, and she will come back again" ......... It's what a lot of people are hopeful for today so many years later. Knowing what we know about Plant now, this line doesn't surprise me but I wonder if people were really listening back in the the late 70's.

You mentioned "The Rain Song" in your list. Another great choice and possibly one of Plant's best lyrical works. That is another beauty.

Great talking with ya! Next time I listen to OTHAFA I will be thinking of this conversation...cheers LAS

:lol: I don't know about that, but thank you. The English major nerd in me tends to come out, especially when I'm writing on one of my favorite topics!

Great review of Down By the Seaside. Even though emotional response to music is obviously a very personal and unique thing, it can be very enlightening to discuss these songs with fellow Zep fans - you put into words a lot of reasons why I enjoy DBTS. That's a fantastic point that you make about Plant and his lyrics. I also tend to focus on instrumentation first, but certainly the lyrics are a major component of why I enjoy OTHAFA. Now, I will also listen to DBTS in a different light. :)

Saw your inquiry on Meet and Greet regarding my background as a classical musician and The Rain Song/Kashmir. I could easily hijack a few threads with my love for those two songs, so I'll send you a message. Looking forward to more great music conversation, cheers!
