frankzeppelin Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Its Kashmir, because according to an interview, Robert Plant was asked about the defenitive song being Stairway to Heaven, but he quickly corrected the interviewer, and said "No, Kashmir is" I forgot who was interviewing him, but I read it in the Mothership booklet, that he said that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evster2012 Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 In my opinion, no single song defines Led Zeppelin. Plant has cited Kashmir, and maybe that song resonates with the essence of what he believes Zeppelin to be. But I can't settle. To chose one statement would leave so much out of it. It's like saying John 3:16 defines the Bible. Not that I hold them on the same level by any means, but I think it illustrates my point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquamarine Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 If I remember rightly, the main reason he chose Kashmir (and I think I've read something similar from Jimmy, but don't quote me) was that each member of the band had an equal amount of input, and excelled in each case, to the point where the end result didn't just transcend but defined the four of them. Of course, that could be argued about several other songs, but I think I'm with Robert on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evster2012 Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 I just can't pick one Aqua. There would just be so many "What would it be like without...'s" y'know? No Achilles? No Whole Lotta? It's like asking what's the definitive dish in a perfect Thanksgiving meal. "Yeah, the turkey was fantastic, but those yams! And the stuffing!". Don't get me started on the Custard Pie! and the wine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me started on the Custard Pie! and the wine... No, I know exactly what you mean. But if I had to sit down and think, on which song is each one of them contributing brilliantly and distinctively, and the overall result is beyond wonderful, I'd always come back to two--IMTOD and Kashmir. And IMTOD is my all-time favorite, but it doesn't have that equality between all four of them that Kashmir has, for me. (Also--I'd always pick the stuffing, no question. ) But for somebody else, Moby Dick could define the band, which is why this sort of thing is doesn't really mean much.

I'm not dumping on the poll starters. I just can't pick a favorite song, album, member, etc. They're all brushstrokes in a larger masterpiece.

Except that for once in my life, I actually can make a decision (in this case, on the brushstroke that to ME is the best).

Electrophile Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 Kashmir. I can't choose Stairway since I don't even think it's the best song on Zep IV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jucrew1 Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 It has to be 'Stairway'. I know Plant says Kashmir and i understand why, but people actually ask, "What's your stairway?" when asking what someones best and/or most famous is........ ie. Da Vinci's 'Stairway' is the Mona Lisa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAS Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Being that Stairway is the most popular song ever it has to be it regardless of what one's own favorite is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Robert Anthony II Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 I don't think I have one favorite Zep song or one song which is clearly "the best", but I would say that Stairway to Heaven is their definitive song, or signature song as it were, so that's what I voted for.
