augustus Posted December 14, 2007 (edited) For me it is The Ocean. The guitar solo, Robert's sing, the phone ringing, the stunning bass line and general joyous mayhem is one of the most beautiful and important things humans have created.

Alice Posted December 15, 2007 Yeah, me too I love the Ocean, I'm hearing it about ten times a day, but it isn't played very often, that's stupid Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
guitarmy Posted December 15, 2007 The Rain Song is awesome. Come on, "it's just a little rain". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlackDog71 Posted December 15, 2007 For me...this may be the toughest album to pick a favorite from. I went with "The Rain Song." I love the lyrics and the overall musical attitude. The closing guitar is amazing and always stops me dead in my tracks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flameofalbion Posted December 15, 2007 It's The Rain Song for me, too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pimmyjage Posted December 15, 2007 (edited) That was a toss up between The Ocean and No Quarter NQ got my vote, due to all of the different elements contained within the framework of the cut. They mesh perfectly into a mezmerizing sonic stew!! Edited December 19, 2007 by pimmyjage Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manderlyh Posted December 16, 2007 I voted "Over the Hills and Far Away," but it comes to a close tie with "The Ocean"... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HAWK3D Posted December 16, 2007 The Rain Song, a beautiful, classical opus. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FourSticks Posted December 16, 2007 The Song Remains the Same. Upbeat and beautiful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
icantquityoubabe Posted December 18, 2007 I voted "Over the Hills and Far Away," but it comes to a close tie with "The Ocean"... Im with you on this. Over the Hills and Far Away for me by far. Then Dyar Maker and Dancing Days Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
achilleslaststand77 Posted December 18, 2007 Another difficult album to choose a favorite. I have to go with Over the Hills and Far Away, although The Ocean and TSRTS are the others I considered. The Rain Song is beautiful I love that song but it's not my fav off HOTH. I can listen to OTHAFA all day I love the opening acoustic guitar it's so pretty. Plant's lyrics are some my favorite..... and I really like Jimmy's riff and solo. I think it was great how they faded out the song with Plant singing "you really ought to know, know, know" and then it gently fades back in with the ending notes. Just a great song!

Voodoo Posted December 18, 2007 Tough one, I went with Song remains the same. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marygrace Posted December 19, 2007 It's definitely No Quarter for me. One of my favorite Zep songs of all time. Can't really describe why...just has always really appealed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Footsteps of Dawn Posted December 20, 2007 No Quarter or OTHAFA. No Quarter is one of those mind-blowing balls-out complete experiences, and OTHAFA is just such a nice little song...I love to sing along with it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pb Derigable Posted December 20, 2007 For me it's Dancing Days, it seemed to be the most "Modern" sounding Song. Maybe because i heard the Stone Temple Pilots version before i heard Zep Original. But i tell what i don't actually like listening to any of the songs on the actually album, i think they are all better "Live", but then again which Zep Song Isn't.

3hrsoflunacy Posted December 20, 2007 You asked 2 questions: Best song and then favorite song. Best song - The Rain Song. Favorite Song - No Quarter, although I prefer live versions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
achilleslaststand77 Posted December 21, 2007 (edited) You asked 2 questions: Best song and then favorite song. Best song - The Rain Song. Favorite Song - No Quarter, although I prefer live versions. I never noticed that until you pointed that out. Either way for me it's still Over the Hills and Far Away followed by The Ocean and The Song Remains the Same Edited December 21, 2007 by achilleslaststand77 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shambolic Posted December 21, 2007 Im with you on this. Over the Hills and Far Away for me by far. Then Dyar Maker and Dancing Days I have to agree on this one, too. Best song, "Over the Hill", then "Dyar Maker" and "Dancing Days"!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eternal light Posted December 21, 2007 The Rain Song; 'I felt the coldness of my winter, I never thought it would ever go' is really a strong lyrical line, and the instrumentals in the song are lovely; they transport me to a gentler place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

analog Posted December 24, 2007 For me, it's got to be 'The Rain Song'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blue_Soul Posted December 24, 2007 The best in my opinion is The Rain Song but I also love D'yer Mak'er because it's such a cheerful song. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
