ZaineUK Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Hi all, I always knew of Stairway to Heaven and Kashmir, but in the last 2 months i've taken the plunge and got into Led Zeppelin. I'm 36 and feel the band are one of the last great bands i've never really listened too. What made me get into them was watching Celebration Day on Sky Arts. Now the band are one of my favourite bands. I've downloaded all the songs on iTunes and made a CD which runs exactly 80mins (Luckly) and contains my favourite 13 Led Zeppelin songs i've discovered. I bookended the CD with two obvious choices, but the rest are lesser known songs. What do you think of the playlist?Stairway To HeavenTen Years GoneSince I've Been Loving YouBabe I'm Gonna Leave YouI'm Gonna CrawlTangerineHey Hey What Can I DoRamble OnOver Hills The Far AwayThat's The WayGoing To CaliforniaThe Rain SongKashmir Run Time = 80mins.

pottedplant Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Martin: I like your list! I'm glad you like I'm Gonna Crawl - it is one of my favorites as well. How about Tea for One? Have you given it a good listen? It's kind of a companion to "Crawl." Welcome to the board. You will learn a great deal about Zeppelin here.

Disco Duck Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Hello All! I'm old enough to have been in high school during Led Zeppelin's heyday (I was born in 1959) but I never saw them perform live. I didn't know much about them during my teen years other than that they were British and their lead singer was named Robert Plant. I liked a few of their songs like "Immigrant Song" and "Over the Hills and Far Away" but my tastes ran more towards soul music and progressive rock when I was a teenager. I didn't appreciate the heavier Led Zeppelin songs like "Whole Lotta Love" until I was a lot older. I have a funny story about Led Zeppelin to share. I mentioned above that I always liked "Immigrant Song". I was around 11 years old when Zep released it. To my little, Midwestern mind, it sounded really creepy and atmospheric. The only problem was that I couldn't decipher Plant's lyrics. All I could make out were the Viking wail at the beginning of the song and the "ooh ooh ooh" at the end. Since it was around Halloween when they first started playing the song on the radio, I assumed it was about a haunted place and ghosts. I was a pretty lame kid. Oops! I just realized that I may have posted to the wrong forum. My apologies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin That is a very nice list. As much as I would love to add every Led Zeppelin song They ever produced to your list, let me add (or recommend) a few more that I am sure You would agree with. If you happen to be unfamiliar with these songs, all you have to do is go to Youtube and type in the name of the song and you will be able to listen to them all. In the Light the Rover Achilles Last Stand Communication Breakdown the Song Remains the Same Wanton Song... There are many, many more to add but I will stop at those. I really hope that you take the time to listen to the entire canon of the great Music of the "Mighty Zep". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JP78 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 also recommend you listen to the same songs in different live versions also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyk Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Hi, Welcome, a good list I really couldn't limit my best of to one CD though ( what no Heartbreaker, Whole Lotta Love, Rock n Roll), although you seem to favour the more melodic Zep, nice to see Tangerine, which is often overlooked.
