Name your 5 favorite Led Zeppelin tracks.


Led Zeppelin released 8 consecutive studio recordings that are unsurpassed by any band in rock history. Since there is no best "Zep" thread on Audiogon it's much overdue. Any comments regarding your top 5 would be interesting and appreciated. Here is my 5...

"Rock 'n' Roll". They opened with it on both occasions that I saw them play. As high energy an opener as I can ever recall at a concert

"Gallows Pole". Page makes a blues classic his own in a simple and elegant way.

"Babe I'm Gonna Leave You" . Memories of my first girlfriend.

"Whole Lotta Love" . Nothing is simpler, not much is better.

Lotsa possibilities for #5, maybe "Ramble On" or Black Mountain" or.....

Airegin,

The same writing credit issue is true of half the songs listed here. IIRC, all songs on the Zep albums are credited to Page and/or Plant. Many are actually cover versions. Since they never bothered to change the name of the song (or change it much, anyway) that they're covering - you gotta wonder what they were thinking. I think there were a dozen or so lawsuits over this issue back in the day.
