My Least Favorite Led Zeppelin Songs - A different kind of ranking! 

For me, Four Sticks is such an integral piece of IV. It embodies the mystery of the Zep sound. Just otherworldly and spooky on all fronts. Especially Roberts vocals.

I've always loved Night flight! The amazing vocals at the end finish off nicely a perfect song. Also the line about jumping a train that never stops all adds to the interestingness of it all. My least favourite song would I think have to be Hot Dog. It just seems too daft.

I can't believe you don't like nightflight!!

I love Dancing Days 😅

The symphonic sections of Four Sticks are the payoffs for me. “Oh baby when the pines begin to cry” gives me goosebumps..

I never liked Hot Dog

Four Sticks??!! Come on. That song is amazing.

I always thought that Hats off to Roy Harper on III should have been axed in favor of Hey, Hey What Can I do, which was recorded during the Zep III sessions.

Hot Dog.

I don’t consider anything from CODA to be a true Zeppelin song. It’s material that they knew wasn’t up to their standards, but were forced to release it to meet contractual obligations. It’s not part of their catalogue as far as I’m concerned.

For me, it's Hot Dog!!! Hot Dog (in my opinion) is absolutely the worst song they ever wrote, and it appears most of the comments agree!

‘Candy Store Rock’ and ‘Hots On For Nowhere’ are two songs I adore. When you’re married to the hottest chic, you no longer have to go searching for love... 🛋🍬💗 For me, *Presence* is both ancient and futuristic-sounding simultaneously - timeless. Like Fleetwood Mac’s *Rumours* being mixed brightly as a creative decision, *Houses of the Holy* was deliberately produced, mixed - and combined with the treble turned up in the final mix - to highlight and put a spotlight on Jimmy Page’s brilliant and intricate arrangements - in tandem with his stellar guitar playing. 🔦🎶🔊 ‘The Song Remains The Same’ is a perfect example of what I’m saying. And yes, it became a monster tour de force when performed live! And especially, as the show opener from 1977 to 1979. My favourite way to describe *Houses of the Holy* is like those days in mid to late spring when it’s raining, yet the sun is still shining... 🎸☔☀

Page's solo on Darlene is worth all the ho-hum of the rest of the tune. Who plays guitar like that?

Hats off Roy Harper, worst waste of space ever! Should have included Hey Hey What can I do instead.

JCM love you man and agree with 99% of your analysis over all your videos but just can't agree about Dancing days (one of my absolute faves) Darlene and Night-light. They are all standalone textural variations on the massive patch work quilt of sonic genius moments but we all see beauty in different ways. Some of those jarring vocal moments truly never bothered me whereas there are other bits of songs that grate on me. PS would love to see you do video on Rush or Uli jon Roth

I love Zeppelin, have for years. But there is one song of theirs I always skip: Fool in the Rain.

Ha. Cool idea, and a brave one too! This made me think through my list , off the top of my head Boogie with Stu, Hot Dog, Darlene, Dy'er Mak'er, Ozone Baby, Sugar Mama, think a couple more, but as you also pointed out, I can always appreciate the drumming even if I'm not a fan of the song (obviously lol) I appreciate your thoughts on Four Sticks live, but it was so rare that I enjoy the bootleg just as much. Actually, I wish there was like a 5 minute version just of the drums he did on the FS outtake while he's muttering about Ginger Baker, someone (probably Robert) adds that cool vocal too. Anyhow, thanks for this honest take and I enjoyed the humour, too.

Hot dog!

WOW!!! JCM! We Finally See You!!!

Don't be afraid to do more straight-to-camera videos, this worked well (though a less "hostage" background would be nice!). On least fav Zeppelin ... well I'd probably go with all 7 from In Through the Out Door plus Hats off to Roy Harper to make it 8.

"Hats Off To Roy Harper" has to be everyone's #1 here, come on! I love "Night Flight" and "Dancing Days", although I agree completely about the mix being way to trebley. The others though, completely with you! So much fun talkin' Zeppelin!

Boogie with Stu was always an endurance test for me just hoping it could end especially when trying to listen to the whole Physical Graffiti album in one sitting.

Interesting. A few surprises on your list, but I agree with you on the live version of MMH-- although I have to say I love the very first performance of it. They clearly weren't ready and didn't care at all. You could hear how much fun they were having.

Is there such a thing as a least favorite or bad Led Zeppelin song ....not to me.

Least Fav from each album: You're Time is Gonna Come, Living Loving Maid, Hats Off to Roy Harper, Battle of Evermore, D'yet Maker, Boogie With Stu, Candy Store Rock, All of My Love (My top least fav), Darlene

Thank you for all of your hours of research and hard work and for your epic content, you are an A+ RU-vidr

Great(as always) & this time Very Funny Vid Jose-Thanx ! A bit Surprised U Didn’t include Fool in the Rain(correct title = Fool of a Song). Aside from Bonzo’s Shuffle it’s basically Terrible. & a WHISTLE ??? C’mon man-even though Plant didn’t allegedly Blow it it’s been said that Bonham’s Bro Mick(RIP) is the Perpetrator. I mean the WHOLE SONG Pretty Much BL.WS ! & there it is Mr. J.-THEE WORST for sure !

When you said Night Flight, it was a knife to my chest. 🔪❤️‍🩹 😂😂😂 I did not expect that! ....I love that song, Plant's vocals are what really bring it home for me. 😎 Differences aside, great video 🎉(as always) 🫶

I love Robert's singing on that live Four Sticks. The song is my # 5 favorite LZ song

Here's my Dancing Day story. My first junior high school dance was in 1977, everyone was having a great time then Dancing Days came on. That song cleared the dance floor, it was anything but dancing. Thanks for the list!

There are few bands that i enjoy every single song they ever recorded: Jimi Hendrix, The Band, CCR (except Mardi Gras)The Allman Brothers Band (up to Brothers and Sisters, to be honest) and Led Zeppelin. I appreciate your honesty! Edit: Lynyrd Skynyrd to a certain point.

Haha JCM!!!, nice to see you! Actually man, I love Night Flight. PG and TSRTS were the 2 albums that hooked me on Led Zeppelin when I was a kid, especially PG. When I first got into them, the songs that struck me on PG were: Custard Pie, Night Flight and Sick Again. Needless to say with more and more listening, the whole album stuck to me like glue. I also agree with you about Plant's singing in some of these songs, but the worst for me is Fool in the Rain. Especially the end part. He just sounds so out of tune and terrible. Can't believe they used that cut for the vocals.

Coda has long been an album I’ve rarely listened to. Mothership is something I think I have on a HDD, but I know I never purchased it. Before you mentioned Sugar Mama I didn’t realize it’s been easily 25yrs since I last heard it. That track name meant nothing to me. Had to search a bit to find out why. 4 missing tracks. Now I guess I have to revisit the remasters to see if I have them and never noticed. But I don’t think I will find them. Aside from a couple semi recently purchased remasters, I haven’t bought a Zeppelin album in decades. My initial thought on least liked songs would’ve probably included something from Coda, since it’s always been a ‘not really real’ album in my mind. What little I just heard of Sugar Mama, quickly reminded me I did hear it before. It sounds like a throwaway. Living Loving Maid was one I first enjoyed as a middleshooler, these days decades later I skip it most times LZ2 on the car play rotation. While Heartbreaker get repeat plays as it always did. MMH. I’ve heard other band covers of this one, which I don’t like. Candy Store Rock. It’s grown on me, I thought it was expected to be a possible radio cut. Hearing recently the rendition of For Your Life, breathed a new life into that for me. Presence very often captures my heart as being my favorite of them all, but as quickly is again replaced by PG or 3, or HOTH, as soon as I change my driving music rotation a few days later. In truth any of the albums becomes my favorite album practically every time I revisit it. Even ITTOD. Blasphemy many will say. But it’s true, if ITTOD was longer, I’d possibly be spinning it more often. All in all, I maintain Coda is the only one I remotely know I can do without. Though I am thinking I’ll now need to put it onto my phone to take for a test drive soon. ❤

Dyer Maker is #1 for me, agree with you on Night Flight , it is the weakest song on Physical Graffiti-As for live renditions, I Love the live version of Over The Hills And Far Away from How The West Was Won, but cant listen to the studio version anymore thanks to FM Classic Rock Stations that have played this song to death.

love Dancing Days, one of my favourites. especially that weird high pitch keyboard overdub. i Agree with you on all your other picks tho.

I agree with Sugar Mama, MMH live... I really dig Night Flight. Darlene is just OK. Hats Off To Roy Harper is my least fave of all their tunes, followed by Fool In The Rain (I think Plant's vocal is awful). My wife hates The Crunge, which I love! I keep telling her it's like James Brown only totally fucked with. She doesn't get it LOL!

Thanks! JCM, as always, you struck again! It takes actual nerve to put otu a video on this topic. Peace.

good video...I definitely agree with some of your picks. LZ has been my favorite band, period, for over 30 years, but there's definitely a few songs of theirs I hit the skip ffwd button. My all time least favorite is "Fool In The Rain"....I just absolutely hate it! Great call on "I can't Quit You Baby"...I love Plant's intro on CODA's version.

gotta aggree with you on the coda version of i cant...i always skipped it as a kid. but i kinda skipped coda as a whole as a kid too, i guess it just didnt jive with me. in later years i revisited it and thought 'what the hell was i thinking'. hope youre doin well jose, hopefully i can catch the next live. cheers, this format is great too man.

I’d have to disagree with Four Sticks and Candy Store Rock. I think both fit in very well on their respective albums and both bring plenty to the table. Four Sticks has a propulsive blending of hypnotic tranced out stoner vibes with some mystic foreign flavor peppered in. Candy Store Rock has a nice blending of pumped up grooving rockabilly through the prism of the Presence album’s attack of layered guitars and funky rhythm section. All the other picks I’m fine with. And agree with most. I’d like to see you do a list of what you think are the most underrated Led Zeppelin songs. A couple that come to mind for me would be Walter’s Walk and For Your Life.

JCM, we have almost opposite tastes on a few of these. Candy Store Rock & Four Sticks are actually on my list of faves! Agree on preference of the studio version of Misty Mountain Hop over the live versions for the same reasons. Also- have you heard the excellent cover of MMH by 4 Non Blondes? One of my favorite covers of Zep songs.

I didn't like candy store rock, but i fell crazy for this album a while ago and now i love the song!

Night Flight and Four Sticks are two of my favourites. I'd say Four Sticks on No Quarter is a little bit better with all the extra percussion. But whatever boats your float.

Nice Jose. Great to see a "bad" list of Zepp by one of their biggest fans. I don't disagree with them either and could add to it, but those would come from ITTOD, so I wouldn't dare ;) Overall, not bad considering the number of songs Zepp wrote. Compare that to the 3 x more album fillers by the Stones and they end up with a similar number of beloved songs ..... not a bad hit/miss ratio really.

Darlene is one of my favorite songs of their's hahaha Fun drummer song, and b side to southbound Saurez in my opinion

Hi JCM! I was interested in your opinions here. Night Flight, the vocals are kind of wild but I've always enjoyed it personally. It's got a bit of a chuggy Stones style boogie to it. Agree with a few others on here, there's a fair bit of In Through The Out Door you could have put on it. And I'm sorry to even have to say this, because of the sentiment of the track, but Robert's vocals are really all over the place on All My Love too. Sorry! Kills me to have to pick one though. The Crunge? They're too heavy to attempt funk. D'Yer Maker is saved by the 'sad sad sad' section, which salvages the song. After your vids about Out Door I thought with my 36 year old ears I'd go back to it after hammering everything by the band upto Presence since I was 13 years old. And...my opinion remains the same, Out Door isn't classic Zep. It's not brilliant. Sorry! Aside from that, love your videos mate as always.

Dyer Maker = Robert Plant 1st solo record

Hey Jose, love Dazed live 1973 but never listen to studio Dazed, i think there was a misunderstanding in my earlier post! I mean the San Francisco part, violin solo, funky solo, the groove end solo plus all the manic solos, 1973 Dazed is my go to version 😂

You’re gonna break my heart with this episode,Jose! 🤣🤣 I love and appreciate every Zeppelin song (that’s no exaggeration)except for “Hat’s Off” ….I’ve never liked the effect they use on Roberts voice for that one… and like most, I feel they should have replaced it with “Hey Hey WCID”…..an incredible song that would have fit so perfectly on Zeppelin 3. But songs that some fans don’t like, like …Four Sticks/The Crunge/Boogie With Stu/Candy Store Rock/Hot Dog/ Ozone Baby…. are awesome tunes that I’ve always liked since I first heard them in the summer of 1980 …and 82 for Coda (which I ran out and purchased the day it was released). I know you’re not a big fan of “Night Flight” but I’ve always loved it…. “I once saw a picture of a lady with a baby, southern lady, had a very, very special smile” how can’t you love that lyric. ?!?? lol !! Great job on your last episode! Birmingham 77 has always been a fav of mine ever since I first saw that 8mm footage that I received on a bootleg video I purchased from Japan back in the mid 90’s. Jimmy is so animated and full of energy for that gig…even though his playing is a little bit of hit and miss. And yes,Robert and Bonham really sound good for the start of that second leg. Cheers✌️

Hats Off To Roy Harper, Boogie With Stu, Candy Store Rock, Darlene, Night Flight, Royal Orleans, I Can’t Quit You Baby (studio) are my least favorite songs. Have to disagree with your choices of Four Sticks and Dancing Days. I consider both of those songs to be classics. Re "Sugar Mama" - since it wasn't on the original release of CODA and was just a song-scrap thrown onto a re-release (to generate new sales) I can't even consider that song.

I would say that JCM's critiques are spot on, and also illustrative of a common theme as to WHY so many people find LZ "challenging"...shall we say....its PLANT...god love him...his cloying, screechy and dear god, PAINFULLY REPETITIVE vocal stylings test, not only, the patience of newbies - but HARDCORE fans as well...Plant can be a HURDLE which must be overcome, in order to get the "goods"...a mercilessly annoying "vocal" can RUIN anything...just ask "why?" some people can never get into RUSH... and Yeh...."DARLENE"....are you kidding me? jeeezizzzz......Just the worst....YIKES!

Great video!

I like that you explained your opinions, and presented them as your own opinions. Funny about Misty Mountain- I think the live guitar work is raw and perfect, as is the live I Can't Quit You Babe. Generally I feel the live versions of almost any song are better ("Frampton Comes Alive" is far better than the studio song versions, for example, and IMO), yet the studio versions for Led Zeppelin have that finesse, that layering Jimmy strove for. But Misty Mountain Hop from the outtake of Song Remains The Same rocks. That is the guitar part, tone and amp sound I strive for, volume at 11. Night Flight- love that song, but yeah I agree- as instrumentalists you can try it again, but how do you tell the vocalist his instrument should have another take or two, when he thinks it's fine?? Nothing against Robert, but band dynamics....

I'm a new viewer, who has already seen almost ALL of your Led Zep videos. THANK YOU for this endless documentary, and the fact that so much of it is about the MUSIC. But, NIGHT FLIGHT?! Seriously?! With the mellotron, the beautiful opening, the great vocal work, the supposed meaning of the lyrics? I guess we all have to have least favorites, though.

It surprises me that you don’t like “Night Flight” or “Dancing Days” It takes guts to say that. Particularly, the later because JP really stretches out a bit with his guitar army. I thought it was done well. NF was more of a straight ahead rock tune which I also like. I understand that you’re also looking at it from a recording perspective. I will still watch your channel and I respect you the same. You put out GREAT videos! As for my worst Zepp tunes? I’d have to go back and listen to that extensive catalog. I can’t tell you one though at this time.

Jose' --- it's me, Kenny. I agree with your song choices for your least favorite Zeppelin songs. I am not saying they are also my least favorite just to agree with you, because I really haven't ever really considered what are my least favorite songs when every song on the albums 1 - ITTOD are in my opinion good songs with some amazing and some that are just tolerable. Nothing bad, though. Until you pointed out a few things, specific things about certain songs, which all happen to be weak vocally and I realize now that Robert trying too hard to create something that he shouldn't be just to hear himself or to feel he's adding something or contributing rather than taking a short break and letting the music be the focal point. Could it also be the misdirection of the engineer and or producer for having Robert add unnecessary and unflattering vocals or is it their fault for leaving those vocal tracks in the final mix thinking they sound good? I guess we'll never know. I have to say that you have opened a door that I didn't ever do more than look through the keyhole of that door before, that is now going to lead me into a place where I'm going to look harder at the songs that I rate as my least favorite Zeppelin songs and find out exactly what about those songs that make them just good songs or songs that I tolerate in the context of being part of the album it is on. As you said, the song as part of listening to the whole album you use that time to walk away, get a drink, use the toilet, I took some liberties with those, hahaha knowing you didn't say those things. Well, thanks for this video. The subject is going to occupy a section in my brain rent free and be slightly bothersome for a while now. You're still my friend LOL you are making me think and to look deeper into the music of my favorite band. That is what friends do for each other. That's what we are supposed to do in life. Take the road less travelled to see new things. Thanks, Jose'. Keep making videos, and I'll keep watching.

I love Night Flight, but that’s just my opinion. I dig the speaking to the camera format, great job.

Love the 73 version of Misty Mountain Hop from The Song Remains The Same. Roberts phrasing is brilliant

Controversial indeed! In particular, I can't believe you dislike Robert's vocals on Night Flight. I think he is magnificent on that track - chirpy, strong and inventive with his varying vocal fills.

I appreciate your assessment of Roberts vocal decline through Zep's history but as a man who loves Bob Dylan as a vocalist I can still love the imperfection of Zeppelin. I kinda like playing Hot Dog on my guitar but I do not like the song either, it would have to be my least favorite. I can find no flaw in Dancing Days! Great way to end this presentation of disgust with Roberts ugly grunts! I love you brother, Rock & Roll! 👨‍🌾

D'yer Maker is probably my least favorite from Houses of the Holy; However, Bonzo's Drumming keeps me Hangin' On!!!

Your Zeppelin docs are incredible man. Love em'

Hats Off To Roy Harper is hands down my #1. Don’t think I’ve ever made it all the way through. Conversely, I “shunned” Royal Orleans for 30+ years, but have done a 180 on.

The pick I most agree with is Darlene. Goodnight! (My Grandpa says that instead of “Good Lord!”😂) Everything you said is spot on. However, Two of your picks I not only didn’t share your opinion, but I also actively and vehemently disagreed! OBJECTION!! You are out of order!! This whole channel is out of order!!😉 The vox on four sticks is high and shrill but I’ve never found it objectionable. And, yes, the production/mix in Houses is bright and shiny, but I’ve never found Dancing Days annoying or unlistenable or….bad in any way. I think the band is tight as ever and Bonzo’s drums sound amazing. On D’yer Mak’er especially. But I’ve seen your vids and heard your playing. You are good. Very good. I’m a decent player and can at least discern pitches well. You, however, obviously possess a pair of ears that work better than most. Certainly mine. I’m not being sarcastic. You are an excellent guitar player.

Four Sticks and Darlene are two of my favorites -- especially Four Sticks, possibly the greatest of all Zep deep cuts. We agree on CODA.

I know what you mean JP, it's not exactly easy to choose these songs. I gotta agree with you avout Candy Store Rock. And Hots on For Nowhere isn't much better. You can throw in Royal Orleans too. But when you have an album with Achilles...and Tea For One I can forgive them. Sorry to say, I know how much you love Bonham's drumming but Moby Dick and Bonzo's Montreaux always gets skipped. I love his drumming, in the service of the song. Too much indulgence. South Bound Saurez would have made the list but I heard a local Toronto band play the crap out of it one night about 15 years ago, so now I love it. I usually skip The Crunge too. Great episode. I remember a reviewer years ago describing Night Flight as Zeppelin inventing hair metal.. Not a bad observation.

I remember in 1975 when Physical Graffiti came out, Night Flight was considered the LP's best track and most played on the radio. Same thing with Candy Store Rock in 1976 - most played on the air and critically acclaimed. Maybe because of the advent of disco era. Both seemed non-LZ, while the majority of the songs ran counter to the 1970s trends.

There aren’t really any Zeppelin songs that I hate but a few that I can live without. Dancing Days and the Crunge I would often skip over when I listened to House Of The Holy for the billionth time. Hats off to Roy Harper is a bit weak, especially compared to Hey, Hey What Can I Do. Carouselambra goes on for a bit too long for me. There’s probably a couple more but even these I can enjoy some of the time, just not all the time like the rest of Zeppelin’s works.

This is a tough list to come up with … Hot Dog would definitely be there for me.

'Four Sticks' I can do without, 'Dancing Days' I can definitely do without which got a lot of radio airplay and I never quite understood the mass appeal of that song, it just never worked for me. Couldn't stand the song 'Sugar Mama.' I do like the music and melody enough in 'Night Flight' even though Plant was borderline intolerable. He definitely overdid it on some tracks and thrashed his voice early on which probably accounts for the vocal chord surgery to remove nodules around 73/74 and the big vocal change in Presence. Basically every band has a few duds even Zeppelin but they're still my All-time favorite band. Not just because of the music but also the influence and mystique the band has even 50 years later.

I mostly agree with your takes, but would replace dancing days with Hot Dog.

The only Led Zeppelin song I listen to in Mono sound is Hats off to (Roy) Harper because I think that must have been the best final mix and the guitar is a great slide blues,goes to the limit, very original and overdriven. In short "There is no bad Led Zeppelin song" as the popular slogan goes.

Night Flight. I don't dislike it, but it makes me wish it was shorter so I could get to the Killer song after it. I kind of agree with your list but like Darlene and Dancing Days. I never got into 4 sticks. I would drop one of these and put on Hats off to Roy Harper. I would swap I can't Quit you Baby with Your time is Gonna come. Thanks for not dumping on Jer Maker and The Crunge. I've been listening to this band since they were active, and I must say that your series is second to nothing else on Led Zeppelin that I have ever experienced. And your knowledge of musical theory far surpasses mine, so "Hats off to JCM".

I can’t stand dancing days and I love the Zep

Sacrilege to include Dancing Days and Four Sticks!!!!!!! Oh my WORD. I'm prepared to be shot down but I'll go Hats Off To Harper, Communication Breakdown, All My Love, Hot Dog. The rest I love. And by the way, Ten Years Gone has always been my all time favourite. I think it is incredible.

Even Zeppelin doesn’t like some of their songs. Lol I agree with u Jose, except for Darlene & Dancing Days. I never cared for Hot Dog, it was always in every bar jukebox years ago

Darlene is a cool song. It's really grown on me. Coda didn't get play over here for years. The version is maybe not the best, but the song is cool, imo. I agree on Candystore Rock, but not with much else. I'll have to go see what the first 3 songs were. The sound aspects and arrangements that annoy you don't bug me. I've been a performing musician and have recorded original music, but I don't always listen critically. I can go back to just liking the music, fortunately.

Dyer Maker, The Crunge, Hot Dog, you're so right about live MMH.

Half of this list I 100 percent agree with: Suga Mama, Misty Mountain Hop live, I Can't Quit You Baby off LZ 1, and Candy Store Rock The other half I 200 percent disagree with: Four Sticks, Darlene, Dancing Days, Night Flight

I’m a bit off topic here so please bear with me: It’s my belief that I Can’t Quit You Baby from Coda is the actual concert take and NOT the said “sound check” it’s claimed to be. They simply cut out the intro bit coming off the heels of We’re Gonna Groove and entered it from Robert’s main vocal line entrance. We ALL KNOW that this band never ever played anything the same way twice - so, listen to every drum fill, vocal line and guitar lick side to side from both versions. They’re identical. We see Bobby clutching two mics in the video so we know they recorded the gig. For the 1982 release of Coda, it seems to me they just clipped this tune from the RAH concert and popped it on the album. This is no sound check guys…but the actual concert take. PS: my least fave would have to be Hats Off. I mean…really guys?

I would quarentine Dyer Maker and Hot Dog. I love Coda. That was the first Zeppelin LP I saw tiled in the record store window. Replaced days later by Shout at the Devil.

HOt dog; Fool in the rain; Hats off; Royal Orleans.

The Crunge, D'yer maker, I'm gonna crawl, Fool in the Rain, Ozone Baby, Wearing and Tearing. Agreed on Darlene & to some degree Dancing Days. Night Flight lyrics excellent always gets side 4 off to a great start !

For me it's really only 2 songs: 'The Crunge' and 'For your Life'. Carouselambra took me years to appreciate. I wouldn't really consider any of the songs from Coda - because we all know it's not a 'proper' LZ album.

Well, I agree with you about Sugar Mama but personally, I've loved Darlene since 1982 she's been making my Candy Store Rock! PEACE LOVE LED ZEPPELIN

Lol. Surprised that Night Flight hit #1. I like the outro editing in the video. But c'mon night flight isnt the worst. I feel attacked that Hot Dog wasn't at all mentioned

“Did ya make her?” No, she went on her own accord.” 🤣

Agree about MMH. And I Can't Quit You Baby. And just really don't like Dancing Days too. You are very wrong about Four Sticks. And what do you have against Night Flight? 😅 Some lowlights for me are The Wanton Song and Houses of the Holy. Agree with others about Hats Off....

I didn't get into LZ until I saw them touring the 4th album in Honolulu. So my least favorite song was Whole Lotta Love. Mostly because they played it about 5 time a day every day on the radio. They did it again with Stairway in the 90s, but by then I had other Albums and CDs I could listen to and radio was not as important.

It’s a good thing we all like and dislike differently

#1 Night Flight? Noooo! I really like the last minute of it too. I like Houses of T H track better than dancing days. Even though Jimmy thought they were similar.❤

OMGJCM (< lol) Coda songs? Those are rejects already. Jk. I acquired Sugar Mama in '92. When I'd be selling on 5th Ave, we'd pass the time by when it got too quiet, one of us would spontaneously yell out "Say you love me sugar mama and I'll never let you gooooo!" and we'd crack up laughing. Upon Coda release in Fall of '82, I do remember the radio stations hyping Darlene as the big single. You're right about Dancing Days production., Prolly why Stone Temple Pilots version is smoother. Right JCMSTP? Oh JCM, the Night Flight Plant vocal gymnastics at the end are fun. Sounds like Black Crowes improv. I'm happy you heard buncha Night Flight false starts on that rehearsal tape that leaked in '93. (when I got that I took all the Rover snippets and arranged them in order!) Graffiti has Seaside which is too schmaltzy in patches. Candy Store Rock is Zeppelin on auto pilot. Its just "there". One other thing - Misty Mountain Hop Seattle '73 is pretty good cuz that boot was bitchin the whole way through. Now for mine - Hot Dog studio and especially live, as you know. In My Time Of Dying! Bleh! And why does Hats Off To Roy Harper end Zep III and not Hey Hey What Can I Do? A boogie, a boogie choo! 3/7ths of Out Door is ehhh at best. Hot Dog, South Bound, and Gonna Crawl all harken tha fall. Your ITTOD vinyl collection is a great idiosyncrasy. It was great to see you close up instead of floating in the either! Your location mystery and "limited" backgrounds are good atmosphere, like Presence cover. haha How u not like Sugar Mama? lol. Ever see The Japanese cover band do it? She nails it. Found it last month on a whimsy "Hmm, I wonder if anyone covers Sugar Mama?" and voila, there they were.

Hey JCM. A song that never gets talked about is Jennings farm Blues. Its a hard hitting instrumental. The editing is crude. Definitely the roots to Bron Yr Aur stop. But sometimes i feel like im the only one who knows it exists.

JCM, You Nailed It!! Misty Mountain Hop was my SONG for Summer 1972!! Bought the Single ona Saturday Afternoon in July & went to a PARTY that Night where Debbie play Led Zeppelin IV All Night Long!!!

What about Hot Dog? I always thought that song was pretty bad

🌠Alright ...I agree with some of your choices & disagree w others ..1st off zeppelin wins my least skip tracks award ..I like most of it ...here's a few I can think of ..sugar mama , your time is gonna come , thank u ..song remains (studio) live yes dancing studio no live yes ..blame plant...other than that all good amazing stuff go capricorns..bonzo & JCM !

I was with you until Darlene, which I think is the best track on Coda. I love the gritty, looseness of Night Flight. Studio Dancing Days I can understand, that whole album is very bright and jangly sounding aside from TRS and NQ.

Songs that doesn't strike me as well as others are Living Loving Maid, Going to California, Sick Again, Black Country Woman, Walters Walk and frankly a lot of stuff on the first album. Dancing Days studio is amazing, and the music of Four Sticks is really mysterious and hypnotic

My least favourite are 1 Hot dog 2 Fool in the rain 3 South bound Suarez 4 D'yer m'ker

Everybody seems to like "down by the seaside", I can't stand it. "Night Flight" might not be great but it means a lot to me. When i listen to the first two lines of the lyrics, I think "that's me, I could pack my hopes inside a matchbox"
