Something to pass the time while waiting for Rhino Box Set delivery. I was going to make the thread "other than 'Stairway...' ", but if that's where you want to go, have at it.

Mine is "Kashmir" off of Physical Graffeti

It has tension and drive and changes... just the pinnacle of Zep in my ear.
More later,
Tour...

    Jesus that's tough. Either "The Rain Song" or "In My Time of Dying"


    Anyone who picks "Stairway" really needs to listen to more Zeppelin.
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    I don't think its my favorite, but it is one of the songs I enjoy the most, "Hot Dog" is just a fun song for me to listen to. "In My Time of Dying" is a great song as well.

    No way. That song has everything. Some of my favorite drumming in a song ever.

    It reminds me of the movie "Southern Comfort" for some reason.

    I was a late teen/early adult when Zep was huge (saw them in 77), but I was never a big fan.

    That said

    Kashmir (Pretty much all of Physical Graffitti)
    Rock and Roll
    Whole Lotta Love

    No way I could pick just one...........not from my favorite band of all-time!!

    1) Communication B-down
    2) Good Times Bad Times
    3) In My Time of Dying
    4) Going to California
    5) Achilles Last Stand
    6) Wearing and Tearing

    Live version's of Whole Lotta Love were epic medley's that just completely blow me away!!!!!!

    Live versions of Killing Floor or As Long As I Have You were psychedelic blues jams!!

    .........I could go on, sorry can't just pick one

    Four Sticks has that thumping syncopated guitar riff - killer.

    Battle of Evermore - cuz I get chills hearing the beginning...the mandolin softly building like an echo from the distant past...and cuz I'm a LOTR nerd.

    "Traveling Riverside Blues"

    God, I remember back before all the newer Zeppelin boxed sets came out (and before digital downloads), and the only place I could find the song was in the middle of the third disc of the "Led Zeppelin Remastered" boxed set. The entire disc was a single track of interviews, and I loved that song so much that I'd always throw the disc in and sit there and fast forward for like 19 minutes until that song came on.

    Back in my day....

    Not a big fan but there are three that I really like (co-ultimate? tri-ultimate?).
    For this thread, there's a slight pecking order:

    Gallows Pole (a traditional song, but they did it well)
    Hey Hey What Can I Do
    Going to California
