Laughter Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 When I say epic I mean on the long side and having an ethereal edge and majesty to it. Something more than blues rock. These are of my opinion, but if you feel something major is missing go ahead and say so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rover Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Live, I suppose "Kashmir" beats them all..... Did in 1977... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broonzy Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 I'd say Kashmir here, the unledded version just as worthy too, but where is the Rain Song? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackDog71 Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 "Kashmir" hands down for me. My favorite Zeppelin song. It has all the elements that made the band the greatest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laughter Posted December 4, 2007 Author Share Posted December 4, 2007 I'd say Kashmir here, the unledded version just as worthy too, but where is the Rain Song? The Rain Song seemed not an adventurer's tale to me more than a lover's gushing of.. well.. love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles_Obscure Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 The Rain Song seemed not an adventurer's tale to me more than a lover's gushing of.. well.. love. Musically talking, I put it on the same level as Stairway, NQ, Achilles and all the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horrorshow_Plant Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 er....I voted for "No Quarter", suppose I was the only one. I voted for "NQ" as well. No other Zep song I've heard has such drama or darkness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ilovejimmypage92 Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 The greatest 'Epic'? The one by Faith No More, surely? Um, well, Achille's Last Stand for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leddy Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 I put the poll options in and everything.. what the heck? ....Achilles Last Stand for me !!, with its thundering bass line, page's best guitar solo, it just sings, Bonhams precise drumming !! The opening arpegiated chord of Em9 and F#/d ish chord is a fave of mine !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo the Rover Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Kashmir for me, not only does it have obvious allusions to the physical journey, but the spiritual \ metaphysical as well. That song is , to me anyway...what Zep is all about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redeyedrichard Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 I love them all, but for some reason, today I was especially partial to 'No Quarter'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minelle Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 It has to be Stairway To Heaven. It's like the most famous song ever man...everybody has heard it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coda. Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 album version I would say Kashmir, Live from the list Achilles, I feel all of them live are Epic, It is Zep man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock Action Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Studio- ALS, no question. Live- NQ, by a landslide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laughter Posted December 8, 2007 Author Share Posted December 8, 2007 I say Kashmir, it can be recognised as an 'epic'. I think Dazed & Confused is an epic too, possibly When The Levee Breaks as well. Dazed and Confused and Levee are epic in their own ways but they were a bit too defined and didn't seem as out of this world as the others did.

Laughter Posted December 8, 2007 Author Share Posted December 8, 2007 And woo! One vote for Carouselambra. I voted ALS myself... heh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmmdelish Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 For the studio versions, I would say Kashmir, so I voted for it, but live I would say No Quarter, I also say you should've added Dazed And Confused to the list just because of the live performances, can't get much more epic than that.
