All the recommendations you will get doesn't mean they are the best ones. They have so many great songs, you will be surprised many times!! They are incredibly versatile
Absolutely one of my favorite songs. So dramatic. Incredible transiions, (duh). Love the panning, with headphones on. Love your way of reviewing the band, album by album. Very cogent.
Songs like this is one of the reasons why people suggest going in order. This would've been suggested eventually, but often they get overlooked by songs that get requested more often. John Paul Jones is a fantastic bassist but he is also a multi-instrumentalist and plays mandolin, and organ/piano/synth. If you look up on RUclips What Is And What Should Never Be isolated bass track, you'll hear the musicality that went into this song. This song is about the affair Robert had already had or was having with his sister in law. He dated Shirley first but she wanted him to leave music so they broke up and he started dating her sister, Maureen, whom he would marry and have three children with. Even so, he would still keep Shirley in the picture. Eventually, over time and through some tragedies (we'll get to them as you progress through the music), Robert and Maureen would divorce in the 80s. Robert would then pick back up with Shirley for a while and have a son with her, although they never married and didn't stay together.
No one recommended this song because it's very much a hidden gem that never got any air play. When you listen to the Lemon Song just remember this. If you think they are talking about something. Yes, they are.
I think people don't recommend this as much because it's almost unclassifiable as to genre. Blues? Funk? Fantasy? Everybody can hear that it's great.. check out the version Live at Royal Albert Hall (1970)- superb! Peace from Canada.
Just so everyone is aware...this album was released in October of 1969. I was 19, and I would live it all over again if I could... Excellent reaction/review. And I'll recommend "Thank You" from the same album, but you have to listen even after you think the song is over.
I think you will be pleasantly surprised with "Thank you" also. One of Zep's most beautiful love songs (along with "The Rain Song", "Tangerine", and "All of My Love").
Well, after listening to Stairway, you said you enjoyed listening to faster/harder music, so those were the recommendations you got. ;) Since you decided to start from the beginning with album 1, which I think was a good decision, it seems you've expanded what it is you like to listen to, which is the best thing of all. LZ can do that to people who are serious about exploring their music, which you clearly are, and I'm really enjoying following your journey through the world of their music. :)
I really like this song. There are so many songs it’s hard to recommend particular ones until you get a sense of someone’s preference.. One that I like a lot that you don’t see often is Friends, on the third album. It’s really different. You have your hands full with this album right now. Enjoy!
Love all of their albums but looking forward to see what you think of Physical Graffiti. It's great that you're going through their albums in order. A lot of reactors miss out on some fantastic lesser known songs
I so agree about Physical. It was the first album of theirs I was actually old enough to buy myself and not borrow from my much older brothers music collection. The first album of PG is maybe my all time favorite record ever.
After Kashmir, this is JPJ's favourite LZ song. It rarely gets a mention because their catalogue of monster epics always seem to take preference. This song and Friends off III & Down by the Seaside off PG are always my recommendations.
As far as bass appreciation, it would be a worthwhile endeavor to listen to Zeppelin's entire catalogue and focus completely on John Paul Jones bass work. He often does so much that is almost undetectable because it is as close to perfect as possible.
I still think to this day Robert is under appreciated in the band and as a singer. Most only think of the highs and the screams. However , he can change his voice, almost switch gears to go with what Jimmy brings to the table, which is always first I might add. His phrasing, choice of words and what to extenuate , what to emphasis, when to bring it in tight and when to let it rip , to me, hasn’t been matched to this day. And don’t give me no Freddie Mercury ( although a genius also) bs. Do you know who Freddy Mercury’s favorite singer was…yes that’s right..Robert Plant. A lot of the British artists thought Plant was LZ weakness. However, as time went on they learned to appreciate this 4th instrument in the band.
It’s just so good when the drums come in isn’t it? I first heard this record in 1981. I was 13. That was IT. I knew then that this band had zero competition. It made me want to play bass. John Paul and this record taught me how to play the instrument! LZ II is what I call British Motown. Check out the live version from the Royal Albert Hall ‘70 video DVD!
Thing is there is basically no bad ones. Obviously some more than others. Love this song but not sure would be in my top 25. Enjoy the journey. The lemon song is blues and so good. Am jealous. Wish could re experience them for the first time again. Also John Paul Jones will bring the bass (and other things) He does so much in the background to pull it together. Under rated with the other three so brash in your face
The song would have made my suggestion list (as it has on other reaction channels) but you decided very early on to just do everything, knew then that it would be heard, LOL! IMO the "Lemon Song" gets requested for the shock value of the lyrics more then anything else but that doesn't mean it isn't a worthy tune. Having said that about "The Lemon Song" I suggest you find a stream that has the lyrics on screen to react too. Story to the lyrics Robert wrote here, it's all about his relationship at the time with his then sister-in-law, Shirley Wilson (yes he was married at that time). 8 years after his divorce, Shirley gave birth to his youngest child Jesse in 1991. PLEASE take note, you are a few tracks away yet but you need to react to "Heartbreaker" and "Living Loving Maid (She's Just a Woman)" as if they were ONE track, they are certainly meant to be listened to together and it was very obvious on the vinyl release that that was the bands intention.
This song alludes to Robert having dated his future wife's sister Shirley prior to Robert marrying Maureen. Robert eventually divorced Maureen and dated Shirley again after his divorce....they later had a child together.
why not previously recommended? obviously too many many great songs per album with zep its true wait til u hear the bass on lemon song when it came out and i took the record home my jaw dropped and i picked up the needle of the turntable to hear it again before going on....agree with you this is a hidden gem one of many many....
I'm not sure why no one recommends this either. It's a fantastic song. "In the Light", one of the band's favourite songs and which, for me, belongs in the Zeppelin top 5, never gets recommended either... I suppose the trouble with Zeppelin is that all of their songs are great and the majority are bona fide masterpieces! It can make it hard to narrow it down, so the best known will always cut through. For instance, although Stairway to Heaven is an incredible piece of music, I can think of 2 to 3 dozen Zeppelin songs that I'd rank higher. However, Stairway is easily their most well known song, so it's also their most recommended. Don't get me wrong, I think it's a fantastic song but... you get what I'm saying... I hope. :)
Your generation is not into "Psychedelic Music", Mostly Rap and Hip-Hop.....we didn't think this song and others were Hip-hop enough or Rap enough to pull you into Led Zeppelin. Yeah this song is one of my favorites on the whole album along with "The Lemon Song" and "Thank You." The Lemon Song was banned from almost every Radio Station in the 60's and 70's because it was too sexually. Radio stations and Radio companies would not play it.......so we hear it on alternative radio station on FM. This album, "Led Zeppelin ll" is/was considered a masterpiece by Music Critic Worldwide......and it is/was one of my all-time favorites from them. I have the CD and The Vinyl. I will send you the vinyl, if you don't have it.
Have you did 🥴 dazed and confused. Kashmir in the light ,is great.the song remains the same. Achilles last stand,whole lot of love ,just a couple of great tunes.
Helene here, Sal. It wasn’t recommended because most young male reactors want the fast and hard stuff first. And Stairway didn’t impress you that much and you asked for harder stuff. We didn’t know your taste yet. At least I didn’t. This is t exactly a “deep cut”, but it’s included in lists of Zeppelins “slower more mellow songs”. But I think it’s a perfect example of Zeppelins famous “Light and Shade” approach……soft, and then bring down the hammer.
It’s gotta be tough for Jimi Hendrix not only to be the second-best guitarist but also the second-best Jimi. Must have been hard to know there’s always a Jimi above you.
This is a perfect example of the "light and shade" that Page talks about. Love this song...and glad you do as well...I think you're getting it!
They're songs are never underrated, just under discovered.
All the recommendations you will get doesn't mean they are the best ones. They have so many great songs, you will be surprised many times!! They are incredibly versatile
Absolutely one of my favorite songs.
So dramatic. Incredible transiions, (duh). Love the panning, with headphones on.

Why did nobody recommend this one?
Too many to recommend.
You're doing good, keep going.
The truth will come to you at last.
GOATS.

This song was a radio hit back in the day great tune from the GOATS 🐐 of rock
No one recommended this song because it's very much a hidden gem that never got any air play. When you listen to the Lemon Song just remember this. If you think they are talking about something. Yes, they are.
You’ll see that there are many underrated zeppelin songs
Just wait until you get to the lemon song
The bass line will blow your mind
I think people don't recommend this as much because it's almost unclassifiable as to genre. Blues? Funk? Fantasy? Everybody can hear that it's great.. check out the version Live at Royal Albert Hall (1970)- superb! Peace from Canada.
one of my favourite Led Zeppelin songs. It's heavily underrated, which is why no one recommended it
I have certainly recommended it on other reaction channels!

Right on, Father Guido! 😀
I think you will be pleasantly surprised with "Thank you" also. One of Zep's most beautiful love songs (along with "The Rain Song", "Tangerine", and "All of My Love").
All of My Love…a “love” song yes…..but not in the usual sense, since it was written in memory of his dead little boy.
@@w.geoffreyspaulding6588 indeed. Is there any more sincere or tragic?
The thing about Zeppelin is that you’re really spoiled for choice with them. All their songs can be recommended.
Well, after listening to Stairway, you said you enjoyed listening to faster/harder music, so those were the recommendations you got. ;) Since you decided to start from the beginning with album 1, which I think was a good decision, it seems you've expanded what it is you like to listen to, which is the best thing of all.

Zeppelin-Ten Years Gone

If you get a chance to play any Led Zeppelin in vinyl do it you’ll see what I mean. I’ve song this song many times
After Kashmir, this is JPJ's favourite LZ song. It rarely gets a mention because their catalogue of monster epics always seem to take preference. This song and Friends off III & Down by the Seaside off PG are always my recommendations.
As far as bass appreciation, it would be a worthwhile endeavor to listen to Zeppelin's entire catalogue and focus completely on John Paul Jones bass work. He often does so much that is almost undetectable because it is as close to perfect as possible.
This is a great jazzy Zeppelin song!

The bass on the album 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
As a singer I recommend this song all the time, you already had it by the time I got here😊
One of my favorite songs
I own their first 5 albums in vinyl this is one of my most favorite songs
Even better live at the Royal Albert Hall. One of my favourite LZ songs
This is in my top 10 Zeppelin songs.
It's a real quality deep cut that one. Never one that gets mentioned much but it is brilliant piece of music.
the gong at the end is pure genius
You’ll also like the bass in Ramble On
Back in 76 I discovered led zeppelin and this is the album that I first heard and saw the film the song remains the same at least 4 times
Funky little rock tune from all those years ago. We loved it..
I wore out several of these vinyl records out, back in the day.
You've got a great sense of humor dude! Keep healthy.
GREAT bassline on this
This is one of my favorite outros of any song. Out on the Tiles second fav outro
Love this song. Honestly, I love all Zep, but this is special. Zep III is my fav album. Back in the day I got sh*t for it.
Fun fact - Robert Plant sang alot of his own backup vocals on their studio recordings. Once you know that you can hear it.
That’s helpful to know
So glad he's got the headphones on. :D
every song led zeppelin ever did was quality
I recommend them all. 😂
It's hard to pick just one. I know people who claim to be Zeppelin fans that don't know hardly anything from three.
Fair enough haha
Amazing song
Jimmy is a Genious!
It's really weird your subscribers prefer the lemon song to this one... Heartbreaker is the best song in this album though
Love this one!
This song alludes to Robert having dated his future wife's sister Shirley prior to Robert marrying Maureen. Robert eventually divorced Maureen and dated Shirley again after his divorce....they later had a child together.

Great job! A new subscriber sir!
Song is heavy as lead, hard as diamonds and smooth as silk. Don't believe in individual recommendations as everything they do is recommended.,
Page was a better producer than he was a guitarist, if that is somehow possible.
Pause all you want. But, when you pause, you should go back 15 seconds to get the vibe back.
Have you did 🥴 dazed and confused. Kashmir in the light ,is great.the song remains the same. Achilles last stand,whole lot of love ,just a couple of great tunes.
You'll see with next one...
Helene here, Sal. It wasn’t recommended because most young male reactors want the fast and hard stuff first. And Stairway didn’t impress you that much and you asked for harder stuff. We didn’t know your taste yet. At least I didn’t. This is t exactly a “deep cut”, but it’s included in lists of Zeppelins “slower more mellow songs”. But I think it’s a perfect example of Zeppelins famous “Light and Shade” approach……soft, and then bring down the hammer.
For me... There greatest song was the last one i heard. :P
Like Christmas Day, would you really want to spoil it all and open all your presents on Christmas Eve? Besides, your reactions are priceless.
this 1 is about the affair robert was having with his wifes sister! they later married and stayed together till 1982 iirc
You need to stop pausing songs to talk … listen to the whole song as it was intended to flow first…then comment 👍🏽
It’s gotta be tough for Jimi Hendrix not only to be the second-best guitarist but also the second-best Jimi.
Must have been hard to know there’s always a Jimi above you.
What’s also crazy is that Page was the best-ever guitarist but not even the most important part of the band.
