lzzoso Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 We all know the incredible contributions and talent(s) that John Paul Jones made as member of Led Zeppelin. Bass Player, Keyboardist and Arranger extraodinaire of many of Led Zeppelin greatest songs. The song-writing of Led Zeppelin songs were not necessarily reflected in the credits. Most of us know that John Paul Jones deserves more acknowledgment than what was reflected in most of the credits on alot of Led Zeppelin's Music. Jimmy and Robert get more song-writng credits on about 2/3 of the Their whole Musical catalog. Of course In Through the Our Door is a different story. My whole point of this is that John Paul Jones has a song-writing credit on 4 of my top 5 Led Zeppelin songs: "In the Light" "Since I've Been Loving You" "No Quarter" "Achilles Last Stand" (Page/Plant) "Communication Breakdown" Of course there are more John Paul Jones credited songs with Led Zeppelin that are classics and Great in there own right, however, I feel that these are MY favorite Led Zeppelin songs. (That is those that IF I had to choose to make my top 5). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it happens John Paul Jones is given a song-writing credit on 4 of those 5. That being said, I am not dismissing or forgetting any John Paul Jone's co-authored Led Zeppelin song(s).

seaweed gate Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Speaking of John Paul Jones, is it him who sings the verse "Little drops of rain whisper of the pain, tears of loves lost in the days gone by. My love is trong, with you there is no wrong, together we shall go until we die." in "Thank You" ? We can clearly hear a second voice used here which is not Robert's. In the parts "tears of loves lost in the days gone by" and "together we shall go until we die" I even tend to think that the backing vocals are doubled.

Sagittarius Rising Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 I always preferred the beginning of the unreleased versions of In the Light to the released version. The harpsichord at the beginning sounds so damn dark and gloomy compared to the synth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lzzoso Posted May 28, 2011 Author Share Posted May 28, 2011 Ah,yes, 'No Quarter', the thinking man's favourite Led Zeppelin song! I know what you mean by your post, however, I think that the thinking Man's song of any Led Zeppelin songs would, in my opinion, have to be "In the Light", "Stairway to Heaven", or "Kashmir" (and perhaps "Nobody's Fault But Mine"). I say this because the lyrics to these songs can and have been interpreted in so many different ways. Of course my opinion will probably differ from alot of others.
