  1. I've often thought about this but basically this is a great catchy song that was mysteriously left of the album even though it's the title track. A song like The Crunge made it onto the album, which I consider to be one of their weaker efforts. They also never played it live or not to my knowledge anyway, which makes you think they may not think highly of it. But then it has featured on every 'best of' that has been released. So a song that was left off of it's original album and never played live, but ends up on all the best ofs? Any thoughts?

  3. I'll give each song a little rating because some of them I really like even though they may be my least favorite on the album. Led Zeppelin I - Your Time Is Gonna Come - 4/5 Led Zeppelin II - The Lemon Song - 4/5 Led Zeppelin III - Out On The Tiles - 4/5 Led Zeppelin IV - Four Sticks - 5/5 Houses Of the Holy - The Crunge - 2/5 Physical Graffiti - Sick Again - 3/5 Presence - Candy Store Rock - 3/5 In Through The Outdoor - Fool In The Rain - 3/5 Coda - Walter's Walk - 1/5
  4. Thanks, Deborah. I've read it myself now and I agree. It's not a bad book - I like all the pictures and pull-out bits of memorabilia but there was nothing new really. Considering it was supposed to be about the music I thought it could have gone into much more detail about the making of each song.
  5. Has anyone bought or read this? Just wondering if it's any good. Looks quite smart, i like all the pully-outy bits and thought it might make a nice Christmas present.

    Yep. One of their best songs. It was originally included on the Australian version of the Dirty Deeds album, have absolutely no idea why it was left off the international version. It's crazy, considering it's probably the strongest song on there. I suppose it gets slightly forgotten hidden away on the 74' Jailbreak EP. They should have put it back into the new remastered CD of Dirt Deeds, at least as a bonus track anyway.
  7. These are from Mojo Classic - Led Zeppelin and the Story Of 1969 and make interesting reading: John Lennon: "They sound alright. Jimmy Page has always been a bloody good guitar player" Eric Clapton: "They were very loud. I thought it was unneccessarily loud. I really liked some of it, but a lot of it was just too much." Pete Townshend: "I'm not one of their biggest fans, which doesn't mean that I don't like them, but means I don't really get into their music a lot." Keith Richards: "I played their first LP a lot when I first got it, but then the guy's voice started to get on my nerves for some reason. I dunno why - I imagine just a bit too acrobatic for me."
  8. I'm not a huge fan of the song either to be honest. It's a decent song but I don't think it's one of their best, and I don't understand why it's often voted as one of their best. It's the one 'epic' song of theirs that I find goes on for too long and outstays its welcome. It's a tad overblown I suppose. I much prefer the straight blues rock of NFBM.
  9. I was going to say that's actually quite impressive. A lot of those artists are a lot more mainstream compared to Led Zeppelin. Led Zeppelin are very big in the UK they've just always managed to remain slightly more undergound by not appearing on TV or releasing singles which is cool I think. Where is that list from by the way?

    I only like the Bon Scott stuff too to be honest. They had veered away from their bluesy/boogie feel by the time it got to Brian Johnson and he has a even screamier style of singing which I don't really like.
  11. These are essential: Deep Purple In Rock Fireball Machine Head Made In Japan (Live) Burn You could start with In Rock and work your way through.
  12. Just bought this: It comprises of their first three albums. They're all terrific and I have to say I really like their first album especially even though their sound is less developed. It's just really good rock 'n' roll music plain and simple.
  13. You must have heard Can The Can - Superb bit of glam rock!
  14. I should buy more Aerosmith. I've got their greatest hits which just covers their 70s era and also Permanent Vacation and Honkin' On Bobo. Has anyone else got Honkin' On Bobo? They do some good rocking blues covers, pretty good album.
