Let's not start a bloodbath with this thread--different people have different tastes. I'd just be curious to know other people's tastes with regards to this band. Don't tailor your responses for fear of persecution. Here goes...

1. The Crunge
2. Black Dog
3. Hats Off to Roy Harper
4. Four Sticks
5. Over the Hills and Far Away

HOW THE FECK COULD YOU NOT LIKE BLACK DOG YOU FARKING COCKSNORTER

Just kidding OP I admire your courage for starting this thread and you were spot on with numbers 1 and 3. Anyway aside from those:

Royal Orleans
Thank You
Battle of Evermore
Black Country Woman
Tangerine

"Tangerine"

How can someone not like this beautiful song? Led Zeppelin III is outstanding, plain and simple.

Edit:

I had originally listed the following:
Ten Years Gone
Carouselambra
Achilles Last Stand
In My Time of Dying
Tea For One

Until I just realized that this was "live without". There's not a single song by Zep that I could pick that I could live without. They are one of the few bands that I love every single song.

1. Poor Tom
2. Four Sticks
3. D'Yer Maker
4. Boogie With Stu
5. Dancing Days

I'm not saying I hate these songs, it's just that I consider them distinctly "meh".

Which is not to say that, if I happen to overhear them, I wouldn't start humming or tapping along...

[–] Staley67-02 10 years ago

Anyone who picks Ten Years Gone, Kashmir, or No Quarter as Zeps worst songs needs to stop listening to music because they clearly don't know what the *beep* they are talking about.

As OP, I asked that we NOT start a war over this. Staley, please apologize for your statement. I'm sure your picks can be crucified by someone.

I'm sorry that some people have piss poor taste.

How's that?

Five Zeppelin Songs You Can Live Without - jwalsh67

Only five?

I could do without all of In through the out Door and Coda and about half of Physical Graffiti and Presence.

So, not counting In through the out Door and Coda, my five most dispensable Zep songs:

5. Any fast one in which Bonham is laboring to drive the beat, and Jones and Page have to pull him along (e.g. "Communication Breakdown," "Immigrant Song," "Livin' Loving' Maid"), which is a shame because they are fine songs. Thank god for John Paul Jones, Zep's secret weapon.
4. "Stairway to Heaven" (only because I have heard it 10 million times already)
3. "Tea for One"
2. "In My Time of Dying"
1. "Moby Dick" (both The Song Remains the Same and How the West Was Won versions)
