Your Favorite Song on Each Album

I tried to delete this as I found the same topic here in the Polls section where this got moved to, but I couldnt so....

In my defense, the moderator is stretching the least known use of the word Poll to define what we are doing. Polls are more for measuring, not compiling a list for the purpose of rating. If I supplied the list and asked everyone to rate it, that would be a poll. Putting this here you might as well put every question asked everywhere on the forums here. 

 

Finally, an interesting article on Led Zeppelin where the author's choices aren't meant to start a war in the comments sections. Sure we all have our own personal lists, but you can respect the choices. In other words, the author didn't choose the Highbrow options to put on airs nor did he go with the Radio Hits exclusively. Nice job mixing it up imho.

My list would be

I: Good Times (yeah, I'm easy to please sometimes) but It does vary from time to time with Your Time is Gonna Come as well as Babe I'm Gonna Leave You and honestly, the Covers as well. It's safe to say that if I were stuck on a deserted island with only one choice of album, this'd be it without hesitation. 

II: Ramble On

III: Varies from Friends and Hats Off To Roy Harper

IV: When The Levee Breaks

Houses: The Ocean

PG: Varies from In My Time of Dying  and Sick Again

Presence: Achilles or Nobody's Fault But Mine

In Through The Out Door: Fool In The Rain or Hot Dog

Coda: Poor Tom

Yea, I am the worst at this because I cannot choose just one, lol. If I made a list 10 years ago it would be all different as it will be ten years from now. Actually saying that makes me want to add Ten Years gone to PG's list. Someone else asked on these forums for people's top ten, I screwed that up too and probably, if you compare these answers ot those you'll find inconsistencies again, lol, can't help it. And I'm sure there has to be another post here somewhere asking this very same question, but I didn't see it so maybe it's time for a refresher. 

 

What's your favorite on each album?

Two qualifiers:

1. These are just my personal favorites - I don't claim these necessarily are "the best."

2. For some albums (especially III and PG) it's very a very close call between the track I've listed and one or more other candidates.

That said, here's my list:

I - Dazed and Confused

II - Whole Lotta Love

III - That's the Way

IV - Levee

Houses - The Rain Song

PG - In My Time of Dying

Presence - Tea for One

In Through the Out Door - Fool in the Rain

Coda - Wearing and Tearing

The age old question.

 

Led Zeppelin - Choosing between Dazed and Confused and How Many More Times is getting too difficult.

Led Zeppelin II - Another extremely tough choice, but I'll go with Bring It On Home.

Led Zeppelin III - That's the Way

Led Zeppelin IV - Going to California

Houses of the Holy - Over the Hills and Far Away

Physical Graffiti - In My Time of Dying, but tomorrow it could be any of the other 3 epics.

Presence - Achilles Last Stand 

In Through the Out Door -  I'm Gonna Crawl

I love it! Like me you guys can't choose just one because it's very hard to say what you like "more". And every "Best" is subjective. There can be no wrong answer.

I forgot to add CODA- We're gonna groove. Fun story about that one was I bootlegged a concert, and I heard this song, without ever looking at the Coda tracklist, so I was bummed they never released it, then I decided to listen to Coda, and that song was on it! I played it like 5 times in a row, I was so happy.

My favorite song doesn't necessarily mean the best song on the album. In some cases, that's true. In others, it's not.

 

LZ I  -- Good Times, Bad Times

LZ II -- Whole Lotta Love

LZ III -- Since I've Been Loving You

LZ IV -- When the Levee Breaks

Houses of the Holy -- No Quarter

If I think of "favorite" as being the track I could listen to at almost any time, these would be my current favorites, but this changes over time.

Black Mountainside

Ramble On

Bron-Y-Aur Stomp

Battle of Evermore

Over the Hills and Far Away

Black Country Woman

Hots on for Nowhere

Hot Dog

Darlene

D&C

Ramble On

SIBLY

WTLB

The Ocean

The Rover

For Your Life

Fool In The Rain

We're Gonna Groove

I was tempted to cheat and list my "alternative" No. 1's as picking one is near impossible. Especially PG. The list will change a LOT over time.
