cheesehead1204 Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 How would you rank the opening and closing tracks of the Zeppelin studio albums? For me, openers go: 1. Whole Lotta Love 2. The Song Remains The Same 3. Achilles Last Stand 4. Black Dog 5. Custard Pie 6. Good Times Bad Times 7. Immigrant Song 8. In The Evening Closers: 1. The Ocean 2. When The Levee Breaks 3. How Many More Times 4. Bring It On Home 5. Sick Again 6. I'm Gonna Crawl 7. Tea For One 8. Hats Off To (Roy) Harper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperDave Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 I'm not going to rank all of them, but top three from each. Opener: 1. Achilles Last Stand 2. The Song Remains The Same 3. Immigrant Song Closer: 1. When The Levee Breaks 2. How Many More Times 3. The Ocean Not a bad topics and these will all be different.

cheesehead1204 Posted July 10, 2010 Author Share Posted July 10, 2010 Hot Dog. I hate that song. I didn't replace it with anything though. I hate Hot Dog too, but I kept it on my ipod so I could listen to ITTOD in its entirety; I'm kind of picky when it comes to that kind of stuff.

I completely understand. The problem with Hats Off is that it's at the end of one of my favorite albums, and it always used to leave a bad taste in my mouth. With Hot Dog being in the middle, it's easier to forget. But still, that's only two songs out of about 80-something that I have, which is pretty damn incredible.

kaiser Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 I'm not going to go through every album but: Opening with "Good Times Bad Times" & closing with "How Many More Times" with their debut album may just be the greatest bookends of any album ever, & opening with "In The Evening" & closing with "I'm Gonna Crawl" may be the great swansong from a truly great band ever, maybe outside of "Abbey Road".

jabe Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Hot Dog. I hate that song. I didn't replace it with anything though. I'm quite fond of Hot Dog. Page's solo leaves a smile on my face evey time. I picture Jimmy wearing a rhinestone dragon suit with cowboy boots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I picture Jimmy wearing a rhinestone dragon suit with cowboy boots. yeah i like hot dog too, it sounds like they had fun writing and recording that song. and i bet they were keen to hear what people said about it when it first came out. i mean, it's not your typical zep sounding song ( if there is such a thing! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mangani Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Top 3 openers (by a LARGE distance). 1. Whole Lotta Love. 2. Black Dog. 3. Good Times Bad Times. Top 3 closers (by a LARGE distance). 1. When The Levee Breaks. 2. The Ocean. 3. How Many More Times/Bring It On Home (tied). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfman Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 I always thought that HHWCID should have been included on Zep III and ended the album. They way that songs end would have been perfect for the concept of that album. I also wish W&T was the last song on ITTOD. Would have been a nice statement for the punk movement and IGC is too slow for what would technically be the last Zeppelin song on an album while they were together.
