Geeeeze, I feel old....
Is “Misty Mountain Hop” or “Nobody’s Fault But Mine” on the list?
These guys were really sumpthin’ in their day...sigh
‘Babe I’m Gonna Leave You’
a better ‘Zeppelin’ ballad than ‘Stairway’....which I love.
saw them at the 1969 Newport Jazz festival...Bitchin’!!!
never heard of them before that....
a black friend(deceased) and fellow Cowboy Action shooter liked various blues music(black and white) including ‘Cream’...he once told me he didn’t get what “you guys” get outta Led Zeppelin....
I told him “ Its a white thing, you wouldn’t understand”.
70? Wow. I saw them in 1973 in Tampa. They played 3 songs , Rain Song was amazing. Then it rained, the band left and a small riot ensued. Sigh...good times.
I could see 50 great songs that Jimmy Page played on but I’m surprised to learn that Zep has 50 songs. They play no more than 8 on the radio.
Happy Birthday Jimmy...I used to lock my self in my room on a self imposed bread and water diet until I figured out his licks. Saved for a starburst Les Paul that looked similar. Had the same haircut..or lack thereof. It was SO freakin easy to get laid in the 70s by simply peekin out from under your mop and pickin out Stairway or the Rain Song. I miss those days.
Rain Song, Ramble On, No Quarter, Babe I’m Gonna Leave You, and Going to California would be my favorites...today.
Achilles' Last Stand
Since I've Been Loving You
Out on the Tiles
Dazed and Confused (the big, honking 26-minute extravaganza from the live album)
In My Time of Dying
How Many More Times
The Rain Song
The Song Remains the Same
The Lemon Song
No Quarter
Tea for One
Could go on and on. Happy birthday Jimmy!
“Since I’ve Been Loving You” at number six - glad it made the top 10- always thought LZ III was their best album by far.
Black Dog still brings memories of smoky basement parties after the high school football games :) Strawberry Hill wine and Steve Penberthy puking up spaghetti on my shoes.
Ahhhh.....good times!
From July 1963
Neil Christian & The Crusaders With Jimmy Page - I Like It

From 1968
The Yardbirds: I’m Waiting For My Man
From the final U.S. tour in the spring and summer of 1968. Recorded at the Shrine Exposition Hall in L.A. Personnel are Keith Relf (vocals & harp), Chris Dreja (bass), Jim McCarty (vocals & drums) and Jimmy Page (guitar). “The British quartet were the first major group to cover a Velvet Underground song.”
What the Youtuber didn’t know is that David Bowie had recorded this by April of 1967

I had to make sure that ‘Celebration Day’ was on the list.
You mean they recorded more music? I liked the first song on the first album so much I almost never listened to anything else.
“Since I’ve Been Loving You”, one of my fav guitar solos. The dynamics in that song still give me chills.
Led Zep and Jimmy Page really damaged our nation and world.
Drug taking and crazy occultism, what could go wrong?
I’m not picking through 50 web pages just to see their list. Geez.
“When the Levee Breaks”. Awesome harmonica riff. Awesome vocals. Awesome drums. It’s all good.
