Page's Riff Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Kashmir, because it defines Zeppelin's fierce power as a complete unit. All the elements combine and work together to build something big, whereas in Stairway to Heaven it takes time to even build the elements. To me, Achilles Last Stand lacks the melodical brilliance of either two, though it is indeed a masterful epic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

varshikrish Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Achilles Last Stand is one of Led Zeppelin's most underrated songs. I feel this song defines what Led Zeppelin is - with the amazing lyrics, Plant's lively voice, Page's riffs and solos which supports Percy's voice, Jonesy's subtle yet defining bass and Bonzo's amazing drum line which no one else but only he can reproduce - I think this is a characteristic song of the Zeppelin. Yes, Stairway To Heaven is epic and so is Kashmir but Achilles Last Stand is the BEST SONG BY LED ZEPPELIN. Any true Led Zeppelin fan and true Music lover would agree with this.

Led Zep Girl Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Kashmir for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morsiani Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Seems impossible to measure which song is the best (with LZ at least), but from the 3 I pick ALS. Because I feel like there's no time to breathe on 10 minutes! At the same time, I don't see the time passing by, which is an amazing thing about this song. And that solo is so deeply dramatic, a sort of paralysing moment but suddenly I'm rocking again. In the end I feel the sensation of "mission accomplished". My only problem with Kashmir is on the original version, somewhat tiring and in some point is like never-ending, you know. But yeah, is an awesome zep anthem and everything... I'm not a English native speaker so I hope that everyone could understand me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
good ramble Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Very difficult. All three are great songs. STH is LZ's anthem for the casual, un-ledded head. Kashmir is definitely akin to Ravel's Bolero, as was mentioned earlier. That leaves ALS. Perhaps the most underrated song (per radio, critics), but probably the best of the three, all-round. As someone else mentioned, it also depends on the mood. Really tough call. I think I will listen to all three again! Yeah, ALS.... especially the live version, when they do it cut time. Just when you thought it couldn't go any faster and still sound good, Bonzo kicks in the afterburners! WOW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishhead Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Of course all three are great, but, when I listen to Kashmir I kinda leave myself for a while......very trippy tune for me, (even without substances) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
good ramble Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Fishhead, I absolutely agree. I had forgotten about that aspect of Kashmir. It's been quite a while since I listened to it without outside interruptions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoverOfLed Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 IMHO It's Achilles, because i think it has all band members at their best. I can't listen to it without crying. It's beautiful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles J. White Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I never understood the whole Zeppelin thing growing up, until I heard Kashmir. It opened my ears to how great Zeppelin was and opened my ears to an entire other world of music. With Kashmir I took notice and delved into the music like a bloke discovering lemon pie for the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZEPFAN17 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I say its Kashmir then Achiilies Last Stand and last but certainly not least Stairway To Heaven..all 3 songs are masterpieces Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pagefan55 Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Obviously all three songs are great, but I would probably go with Kashmir as my favorite. This may come as no surprise to anyone here, but I've noticed that whenever I mention Zep to anyone who is totally unfamiliar with the band (especially foreigners) they almost always reply, "Oh yea, isn't that the band that did Stairway To Heaven? I really like that song." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Rover Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 The O2 version of Kashmir give me goosebumps. If I could could pick one official recording (live or studio) to show the Power and the Glory of LZ, that O2 version of Kashmir would be it.

Pagefan55 Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Since I've Been Loving You Yes, this should have been a choice. I've known (at least) two people who were transformed into Zep fans by watching SIBLY and the Rain Song in TSRTS -- "Jimmy Page....electric guitar...."

Ddladner Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Yes, this should have been a choice. I've known (at least) two people who were transformed into Zep fans by watching SIBLY and the Rain Song in TSRTS -- "Jimmy Page....electric guitar...." These may be my top two LZ songs...so beautiful! And any time I am watching a live show, I love to hear 'Jimmy Page...electric guitar'!!! I definitely became a bigger fan from watching them play live. The music is really great, but to watch them play every note with emotion and passion...that's the WOW factor for me! ❤ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the hundreds of shows I have listened to, SIBLY seems to be the one that 'gets me' every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
price.pittsburgh Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 I didn't want to be unoriginal but out of those 3, Stairway wins. Yes, it's over played and some would say overrated, but if you listen to it with a mind frame of it being new, it really is an amazing and captivating masterpiece.
