Rank Opening and Closing Zeppelin Tracks


Recommended Posts

Maybe time for my annual comment that Hats Off is one of the most misunderstood Zeppelin songs, and that it's a brilliant reconstruction of the sound of the country blues albums that they'd been listening to and that formed the foundation of a lot of their own songwriting.

Which doesn't mean anybody has to like it, but I love it. :)

Me too! :)

With regards to the topic, i'm sorry but i just can't nail it. The songs keep getting shuffled and it might get changed weekly anyway. I have a least fave for each but that's like saying that i prefer 2 million bucks over 1 mil. :P

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

Openers:

1. Whole Lotta Love

2. The Song Remains the Same

Can I count PG as two discs? Mostly because then I can rank "In the Light," which I think is one of their most underrated songs, somewhere :)

Openers:

1. Achilles Last Stand

2. In the Light

3. The Song Remains the Same

4. Immigrant Song

5. Black Dog

6. Good Times Bad Times

7. Whole Lotta Love

8. In the Evening

9. Custard Pie

(for the record, I like Custard Pie a lot (mostly b/c it comes after The Ocean in the Complete collection, but still...)

Closers:

1. Kashmir

2. When the Levee Breaks

3. The Ocean

4. How Many More Times

5. Bring It on Home

6. I'm Gonna Crawl

7. Tea for One

8. Sick Again

9. Hats off to (Roy) Harper

Hot Dog.

I hate that song. I didn't replace it with anything though.

It's pretty good live...well at least the few recordings of it is are a good listen.

I didn't like it until much later in my Zeppelin obsession.
