Lord_Stoads Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 I don't hear many people talk about The Ocean and that's one of my favourites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swansea Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 Great thread! I'd definitely agree on Hats Off to Harper and Down by the Seaside -- really really love them both. PS -- none of em suck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyPageZoSo56 Posted November 23, 2007 Author Share Posted November 23, 2007 i know that, but others have said in other threads that this or that song sucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackDog71 Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 "Hey Hey What Can I Do" gets my vote. Great song. It's sad it never made it to a studio album until wayyyy later on CODA and not even the original CODA release. Others are "Down By The Seaside" "Candy Store Rock" and "Bron-Yr-Aur."

patersondm Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 What about Out On The Tiles? One of best riffs Jimmy's came up with IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leandar Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Yeah, I love "Out On The Tiles," I think it's definitely underrated. And I liked "Living Loving Maid" too, I don't understand why the band didn't like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Frazho Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 For Your Life (off Presence). Good tune. Almost never heard on radio or even in Zeppelin shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
040879 Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 I guess if there is such a thing as an under-rated Zep song, Royal Orleans would fit the bill for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I liked "Living Loving Maid" too, I don't understand why the band didn't like it. i wouldnt necessarily "Out on the Tiles" is overrated. they used the intro for "Black Dog," they played the song like for a few years, and they used it fro Bonzo's modified version of "Moby Dick" known to us as "Over the Top."

MrZoSo Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 If I had to choose one i'd say, The Rover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Hewick Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Underrated in the sense that radio etc will always go for 'Stairway..' or 'Whole Lotta Love' or 'Black Dog' etc..? 'Tea for one' - the phantom companion piece to 'Since I've been Loving You' .. after the rampant flourish of the intro there is nothing but a bleakness matched only by Joy Division - and Page's solo is his "To be or not to be..", something way past mere notes/scales.. And to make it tea for two lol: 'The Rover' - lumbering, sloppy, stumbling - so loose it almost falls apart - but so many bands could bang away forevermore and never get that feel. I just wish it went on for another 10 minutes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyedye Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Tea for One I think the entire Presence album is underrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electrophile Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Tea For One, without a doubt. That song should have been on Mothership and I hope they do it live at the reunion concert next month. Another song I think doesn't get a lot of love is In The Evening. I think on ITTOD, All My Love and Fool In The Rain get the most attention, but this song is very strong as well. It's dare I say it......danceable. They weren't known for making dance music, but the synth line on top of the guitar track is very funky. You actually could play this at a party or a dance or some other social gathering and it isn't so clunky that you just sit there and listen to it. I like that about this song; it's unlike anything they had done previous, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

infidel Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 I'm Gonna Crawl - awesome vocal performance and killer solo Sick Again - great lyrics, great music, great jams in concert Black Country Woman - should have made the acoustic set in the later years The Crunge - wonderful funky jam, jangling guitar, sublime drumming Hats Off To Harper - killer slide guitar Hot Dog - fun tongue-in-cheek country jam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
