  1. So groovy blues. For Your life. For Majestic vibe its 10 Yrs gone.
  2. Howard Stern thinks that Led Zeppelin/The Beatles and The Rolling Stones are the top 3 of all time. I sort of agree. For me. If I had to use the classic rock era. AC/DC/Led Zeppelin/The Stones are the three that I always hear bands do in my city or cover. Who would you put with Zep if you had to choose 2 others to go with Zep.
  3. So how do you grade songs and albums in your head. My take is this. I go by atmosphere for the most part. My grade for Zep albums are this. Zep1-A. Zep-2 A+. Zep -3. ZoSo-A+. HOTH-A. PG-A+. P-B. ITTOD-B+. Coda-C+. Love Zep. My all time favourite band. Bonzo to me was the only member that was rock solid from start to finish.
  4. Zep is more on the Radio over Purple. Zep has more exotic Jams than Purple. Purple to me military precision than Zep. It comes down to Stairway vs Smoke. It is unfair for me to point out the contrast. As I am way more into Zep than Purple. To me Purple always has this dark feel to their songs like The Doors It always feels like there is this Nocturnal feel to most of their songs. Where Zep goes all over the place. I saw Purple for free once and I was not impressed. My city's local cover band did a better job with Purple material than Deep Purple. One thing I can say that Purple studio and live songs synch up more than some of Zep's Studio/Live songs. For me. Even though I referenced Stairway and Smoke. Smoke's counterpart to Zep's equivalent song is basically Levee. Imagine playing with Zep's history and Levee became that signature song.
  5. I love all of Zep. Sometimes I think they have songs locked into the Studio that don't translate live. I don't like Levee/MMHop/RR live. They don't seem as tight. Then songs that are jams on the albums work better. Its like Zep is really more like a loose Jam Band than tight rockers. Rock and Roll Studio is better than Rock and Roll live, although around ITTOD live RR was tighter, but Plants vocals felt more like his speaking voice.
  6. For me Presence has only 4 songs that resonate with me. ALS which is great. FYL is a classic NBFBM is great as well. TFO is boss as well. The rest are filler Zep.
  7. I am listening to Rolling Stone podcast with Robert Plant and Alison Krause and Robert states that Jimmy wrote most of the riffs in the Key of E, so he could get more riffs/bottom end out of his guitar. So does it matter what Key a Guitrist plays. Like The Stones favour the Key of G. Both bands had great riffs. I wonder if it's really hard to sing around the Key of E over G.
  8. For me. I go by the albums and I don't have one fave song. I go by the one great song from each album. So for me its LZ1-How Many More Times. LZ2-Lemon Song. LZ3-Celebration Song. ZoSo-When The Levee Breaks. HOTH-No Quarter. PG- In My Time of Dying/10 Yrs Song. P-For your life. ITTOD-Fool in the Rain
  9. Rock and Roll is the song I got into with Zep in 1988 when I started to dig into them when I was a teenager. All I heard was the ending part after Jimmy's solo.
  10. Interesting. I guess that would be the real ZoSo if we played with time and Zep had no choice but to use all these songs. It makes it more epic.
  11. Technically I love all of Zep's songs. For me the only songs I don't go to to listen to are certain songs from Presence/ITTOD. Royal Orleans/Hots/Tea/South bound/All of My Love/Hot Dog. Sacriliage, I am not into Thank You, Evermore/Cali/Rain Song I love.
  12. What do you think it it about Zep that keeps them on top in terms of popularity? Did they really luck out. All good looking guys. Great musicianship. Even though they could be sloppy life. I listen to Zep and then Queen. Queen seems way more refined, but they can't get into that Sex groove that Zep have. Whats your thoughts.
  13. I can't understand why I'm Gonna Crawl was not given any live rendition.
  14. I don't think so. Possibly though. I know that Plant did the medley of it sort of with the Oh Oh's from Dyer Maker on the tale end of a Communication Breakdown during The Presence era shows.
