LZ Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Hi everyone, I'm new to the forums here, so not sure if anyone has done this, or where to post it.I though a cool idea would be if we got a good group of people to post their top 30 led Zeppelin songs from the 9 original studio albums in order. My list constantly changes, as I guess so do many people's, so it is a general idea. But what I can then do is make a spreadsheet to work out the average rank each song gets which you can then compare your own choices to. I did this against some of the top lists I found online, and found it very interesting to see which songs I seemed to over and underrate. Think would be good to do amongst true led Zeppelin fans, the more that do it the better obviously. The only thing is I don't know what seems the best value to give a song that you have not ranked in your top 30, but others have, ie do we give them all 31 as any way will seem to skew the results, as everyone is not going to pick the same 30 songs.

kingzoso Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 First of all, in my opinion, there is no "average" Led Zeppelin song. With that being said, I will list the top 30 Led Zeppelin songs that I can think of that are some of my favorites. I choose not to rank them because it would take me hours to do so. My list of 30 will be LZ songs that come into my head at this very moment. In the Light The Rover No Quarter Trampled Underfoot Since I've Been Loving You Achilles Last Stand Out on the Tiles Dazed and Confused Whole Lotta Love That's the Way The Ocean Stairway to Heaven Hots on for Nowhere Communication Breakdown Battle of Evermore Sick Again Walter's Walk How Many More Times When the Levee Breaks Kashmir Ozone Baby Heartbreaker Gallows Pole Ten Years Gone Black Country Woman Tea For One Wanton Song The Crunge Wearing and Tearing Travelling Riverside Blues (I know, not technically on one of the 9 studio albums but a great Led Zeppelin reinterpretation of a classic Robert Johnson original). This is my list. It took me about 10 minutes to compile with the my knowledge of Led Zeppelin and the help of Budweiser, the King of Beers. Led Zeppelin: the Kings of Rock and Roll....

LZ Posted March 2, 2016 Author Share Posted March 2, 2016 Thanks guys! And not looking for an average song, looking to see what songs are ranked the highest on average. For example i have not initially got 11 rankings, and as shown 4 songs are ranked in the top 30 by every list. and another 6 songs which are ranked all but once (which actually are all by Kiwi_Zep_Fan87) which therefore shows them the songs they specifically dont listen to as much. which others rank high when looking at the overall stats. I have also shown the initial top 30 based on if a song gets given a rank of 31 where not ranked in a list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingzoso Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Of all the songs I listed above, I remembered one more that should have come to me that I vastly overlooked/overthought, and that would be "Carouselambra". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I am one among the few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yer im surprised too really, which is why i thought I would ask in the forum, as i think a lot of true zeppelin fans do like a lot more of the as you say, quirkier, songs as well, and didnt expect to see such an overriding group of songs.
