Kashmir330 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 The Rover is a good choice. I think Down By The Seaside and Hot Dog are also very underrated as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
68/80 guy Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Wearing & Tearing !! They proved it at Knebworth in 1990. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
68/80 guy Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I say The Rover of course, and Tea for One. Joe Bonnamassa does a great version of Tea For One. Great guitar player, say's Led Zeppelin I is one of his favorite albums of all time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jabe Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Eh? But that would make no sense. It's "seen seven wonders" Knebby,you're right,it makes little sense. But I've been singing that verse that way since I was 17. And various sites seem to be quite off the mark with Plant's lyrics. So now,another of my infamous notions has*poofed* into my shallow faculties. Knebby,at some point in the future,when you have Robert's ear,and if the conversation lulls a tad,you could use your influence,your Albion charm and wit,and mention to Robert that he might consider writing the official book to the accurate lyrics of Led Zeppelin. I would also like to see anecdotal notes behind the songs.What made the ink flow from his pen to the paper.The inspirations,the causes. What would separate this book from the pack is that it would be autobiographical in nature.No ghostwriters.No hearsay.Plant on Plant. The book would be hugely entertaining and successful.I imagine Robert's prose would be just as entertaining and insightful as his lyrics. Also suggest that Robert could commence his booksigning tour in Birmingham,Alabama. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plant is a good writer (witiness his Nine Live's box set anecdotes -- they are humorous, insightful, and a wee bit stream-of-consciousness in a good way). Hate to see Percy go to his grave not letting history know the (a.) inspiration to some of the songs, and (b.) the actual CORRECT lyrics!! (Four Sticks, Ocean, Levee, Trampled, For Yer Life, Hots On Fer Nowheres, et. al.) It would be a successful commercial venture -- not that Bob needs the money, but it would 'set the record straight'.

beatbo Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 kick-ass tune and fun to play on guitar. to those of us who bought PG when it was released, there is nothing like playing this side of the album. then again, there is nothing like playing any of the other sides! gonna go play it right now....

DazedNConfused Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 That whole album is easy to play. The Rover is awesome though. I love all the bends in the main riff. 10 years gone off of that album is one of my favorites. Just a very well built song IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackDog71 Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Underrated?.............ummm......."For Your Life", "Candy Store Rock", "Down By The Seaside", and "Four Sticks" just to think of a few. I agree on "The Rover" as well. Zeppelin was just amazing across the board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slave to zep Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 i agree with the rover, tea for one, wearing and tearing, and would add custard pie. a great opener to a great album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
power&glory Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Though there are many, at first thought I would say Ten Years Gone. Very deep and heavy and emotional! I would guess it must be a favorite of some of the band members. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electrophile Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Tea For One. Never gets the kind of attention and respect it deserves, I don't think. Which is sad because it's a great song and a distinct nod to SIBLY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melanie_72 Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 (edited) There are so many: The Rover, For Your Life, Down By The Seaside, South Bound Suarez, In the Light, Ten Years Gone, Hot Dog, Tea For One, Carouselrambra, Tangerine Edited March 14, 2009 by Melanie_72 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timothy5151 Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Tea For One. Never gets the kind of attention and respect it deserves, I don't think. Which is sad because it's a great song and a distinct nod to SIBLY. I totally agree with on that. Some under rated songs like Down By The Seaside, South Bound Suarez and Carouselrambra I can see why they weren't performed live back in the day, as it didn't quite "jive" with their setlists. While other songs like Tea For One, The Rover, and For Your Life seem to fit perfect and for some reason were not added. Perhaps this lack of performance of these songs in part made them under rated as such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ms_zeppelin94 Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Oh boy... So many of their songs don't get the attention they deserve... Poor Tom, I Can't Quit You Babe, BEM, the majority of PG... I could go on forever... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I absolutely love I'm Gonna Crawl. One of my faves off the album. When I first got the record, I found it so hard to listen to because it was the last song on the album and it was their last album. It still touches that emotion in me to a point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
granmastaj.zeppelin Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 The Rover is definitely underated... however, HMMT is such a heavy, yet meaningful masterpiece that is so unappreciated when it comes to naming Zep's most influential songs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah,you tell can Plant's emotions on these vocals are connected directly to his gut and linked to his heart. That last keyboard sequence by JPJ at the end of the song to me ,makes mysterious the overall outcome.Lest we not include the killer solo by Page,or some of the (unexpected to me) tempo of JHB drumming . Concisely put,a fucking excellent song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
