53 years gone.On this day in 1969 Led Zeppelin's debut album was released in North America.
Your brain may be telling you that, but your fingers typed something different. You submitted the Stomp version.Absolutely love this one. Had it in my top 25 as well
Yeah, I almost had a heart attack there myself for a half second.Your brain may be telling you that, but your fingers typed something different. You submitted the Stomp version.
Yea my bad. I love this one as well. Stomp version won out on my list.Your brain may be telling you that, but your fingers typed something different. You submitted the Stomp version.
My lack of knowledge of Zeppelin gave me problems here. I was coming into compliment the song because I'd mistaken it for Stomp, too. The acoustic little ditty is pretty, but nothing like the Stomp.Your brain may be telling you that, but your fingers typed something different. You submitted the Stomp version.

I figured I would be one of the only ones to list this one but I love it. Just a really catchy and sweet melody. I love the acoustic guitar and no vocals, just Jimmy Page just making beautiful music. I put this on like every mixed CD I made for at least five years.#70 - Bron-Yr-Aur from Physical Graffiti (1975)

A virtuoso acoustic masterpiece from Jimmy Page, recorded in 1970 for inclusion on the third album. After a brutal recording, touring, and promoting schedule for almost two years straight, the band retreated to Bron-Yr-Aur, a cottage on the outskirts of Wales where Plant’s family would vacation in the 50’s. The band developed multiple songs there that would make it to the third and fourth albums, Houses of the Holy, and Phys Graf.
In an interview with Rolling Stone magazine in 1975, Robert Plant said of his Fortress of Solitude: “It was a great place. The Golden Breast is what it means. The place is in a little valley and the sun always moves across it. There's even a track on the new album, a little acoustic thing, that Jimmy got together up there. It typifies the days when we used to chug around the countryside in jeeps. It was a good idea to go up there." (There are pictures in the linked video to the song.)
Page also had a positive vibe: “Robert and I went to Bron-Yr-Aur in 1970. We'd been working solidly right up to that point. Even recordings were done on the road. We had this time off and Robert suggested the cottage. I certainly hadn't been to that area of Wales. We took our guitars down there and played a few bits and pieces. This wonderful countryside, panoramic views and having the guitars . . . it was just an automatic thing to be playing. And we started writing. It was the first time I really came to know Robert. Actually living together at Bron-Yr-Aur, as opposed to occupying nearby hotel rooms. The songs took us into areas that changed the band, and it established a standard of travelling for inspiration . . . which is the best thing a musician can do.”
Two other songs that were recorded in the same general time frame (but never released) were Another Way to Wales and I Wanna Be Her Man.
The song was performed live nine times in 1970 to promote the upcoming release of the third album. However, it was not released in album form until five years later.
Next up, another track off of Coda. Like I said earlier, the sooner we get them out of the way, the more quality songs will be left.
I mean, it's no Wearing and TearingFirst 20 seconds are pretty good. It's one of a few rare Zep tunes where Plant's vocals turn me off.
From what I've read, Jimmy didn't want to release this song (on the recent deluxe edition of III) because it had already been heavily bootlegged. Instead, he decided to give us "rough mixes" of a bunch of songs that are 99.9% identical to the regular mixes of the songs.#77 - Feel So Bad / Fixin’ To Die / That’s Alright Mama (Unreleased from 1970)
An acoustic medley that sounds good enough to at least have made it as a bonus track to the deluxe version of the third album, the deluxe version of Coda, or one of the box sets. Sounds like a sprinkle of In My Time of Dying mixed with Hats Off to Roy Harper (very similar guitar and vocal effects). Maybe they thought it sounded too similar to officially release it, but I figured it was something different that people probably hadn’t heard before.
Wow. Way underrated here. And two songs off PG toward the bottom of the list, too. Like a kick in the nads.#70 - Bron-Yr-Aur from Physical Graffiti (1975)

Wonderful, wonderful 2 minutes. The fact that it's next to Ozone Baby is...unsettling.#70 - Bron-Yr-Aur from Physical Graffiti (1975)

My list was pretty chalky. Other than Bron-Yr-Aur and maybe one other favorite track off Physical Graffiti, I think the rest of my top 25 will be highly ranked.I would be curious for those of you who ranked some of these songs in your top 25, what “notable” songs did you not include. For example, did you select Darlene over Stairway?
I get it…musical tastes are very subjective and what appeals to some might not appeal to others.
There is no one way to make a list, but I tried not to have the “overplayed” songs sway my judgement too much. There are songs in my 30-40 range that I would rather listen to than some of the radio staples I included in my top 25
Excited to see where songs end up and have some fun debating.
LOL, the top two songs on that Vulture list didn't make my list.My list was pretty chalky. Other than Bron-Yr-Aur and maybe one other favorite track off Physical Graffiti, I think the rest of my top 25 will be highly ranked.
Highest ranked song from the Vulture list that didn’t make my list was “Babe I’m Gonna Leave You.” Highest ranked on the Rolling Stone list that didn’t make my list was “The Battle of Evermore.”
Musical tastes are subjective, reasonable people can disagree, all due respect, etc. etc.Highest ranked song from the Vulture list that didn’t make my list was “Babe I’m Gonna Leave You.”
We are definitely going to see signs of choosing a poor ranking mechanism and methodology to create a master ranking. Since people could only pick 25 songs, many of the middle tier of their catalog got less than stellar consideration. If I asked for people to rank the LZ entire catalog, I think a lot of songs would have fared much better. However, we would not have gotten 60+ to rank 80 or 100 songs. So I chose more participants over trying to get a handful of people to rank every song.Too low.
