It's easier for me to think of a Zeppelin song I don't like. There are about 3-4 songs I really don't like. Down by the Seaside and D'yer Mak'er come to mind. Also, there are a few songs I really liked until the radio played them to death.
Yes to this all day long! I think mostly this is because not only is every song so good but they are also so different it's hard to rank or compare them to each other. I have a long and ever changing list myself.
JPJ was and is the most underappreciated unrated rock musician ever...by too many of the unknowing. To do what he did on the keyboards while maintaining a consistently top tier bass rhythm on the foot pedals in so many of LZ tracks is just amazing. Mark
It's gratifying to see the young dudes minds being blown by Led Zeppelin. We've been listening to Zeppelin for 40 years or more, and you come along just hooting with joy... cool. A good book to check out would be "Hammer of the Gods," by Stephen Davis, the story of Led Zep up through the 80s.
Well, except that the guys in Zeppelin say that much of it is tripe. Other than that small point……Go instead to the source….Light and Shadow…..a book of interviews with Jimmy Page over more than a decade…with input from JPJ and Plant…..
Led Zeppelin was pretty much defining new (and old) genres as they progressed. Almost everything they did either hadn't been done before, or hadn't been done the way they did it before. This also carried over to the business side of things, as they were the first rock band to dictate the terms to the promoters. The promoters had no choice as Led Zeppelin was the biggest live band in the world for many years.
My high school boyfriend was a Zeppelin fanatic. So I got to see them live 4 times in the 70's. It was incredible. They rocked the house down everytime. This brings back such good memories. 👍✌🌻🌻
This album encompasses why this band is the greatest and best rock band of all time. They mean so much to so many people for so many reasons. This album is Hard Rock. Slide guitar. Folk. Little bit of funk. Blues. Just spectacular and breath taking along every avenue and in every way.
LZ keep on surprising me. No sooner had I thought that I knew them well than I heard something new to me which changes my perception about them completely
these boys are good...When Atlantic records signed them, they agreed that they had absolute creative freedom...good call. this was the first album on Zep's own label, Swan Song...apt name for sure...they never ceased to blow our minds
Ahmet Ertegan was a genius A&R man, and Peter Grant was a brilliant band manager. Led Zeppelin were indeed in very rare hands that actually allowed the art to blossom.
they did punk in the 60s, they made rock, blues, hard rock and metal, folk rock, country, reggae, pop, and progressive rock (sometimes mixing all those genres in one album). That's why they're the greatest rock band ever! They were so versatile and so creative other bands sound pale and weak in comparison, and still had their own unique sound. They have a few proggy epics, this song, Stairway to heaven, The Rain Song, No Quarter, The Battle Of Evermore, Kashmir, Achilles Last Stand (in a way it's really proggy for a hard rock song) and Carouselambra. Other prog bands would dream to be able to pull such masterpieces off.
PHys Graff - Side 3 IMO this is the best zeppelin album side. Zeppelin peaked here in the light, ten years gone, down by the seaside, bron yaur Ten Years Gone is their best song
I’ve been listening to them for years and still have the same reaction. They have a great way of taking you on a chaotic ride, setting into an amazing grove then rinse and repeat. They’re one of a kind for sure.
I was 9 years old when this album came out. The first time I heard this particular track was the day I realized how impactful drums can be to a song. It's throughout the entire album and Bonham's career for that matter, but something about the way he approaches this one really grabbed me. One of the main influences to me bugging my dad for a drum set, which I finally got at 12 years old and never looked back! I don't know what kind of powers of fate there may be, but these 4 guys were the perfect chemistry.
Fate draws together of like belief and faith. In this case, it brought together four people who must have had huge faith in themselves, judging by the amazing work that came out of them.
The many different layers of this song is incredible. . I find myself following a different guitar line each time I listen to it. And the drums? say no more.
When we got this album, we were living on a sailboat in Hawaii, and living an already spiritually cosmic lifestyle, sailing the Hawaiian Isles, this music just heightened that experience. It fit right in.
Hmm...love the background graphic. Very fitting. I remember buying this album when I was 14, back in 1978, and finding the magic of each track. This was a favorite, and it's great seeing your reaction.
I was 16 and a junior in high school when I bought this in '75. My only regret was never seeing them live. They played Madison Square Garden a few times in the mid seventies and the Garden is about an hours train ride from where I live.
The intro is amazing. I always feel as if I was lying on a meadow on a sunny day with me eyes closed 🙃it's very hypnotizing❤️could listen forever! My favourite and beloved album!!!!
Way back in 1985 designing car audio, this was the one I used for refining clarity of sound. SRV 'Couldn't Stand the Weather' was my standard for the internal impact impact
I've been waiting for this...Priceless! I know every song, every lyric... and I can tell you what track the song was on whichever album... my personal top Zeppelin songs are... Ten Years Gone... all time fav song by any band Down by the Seaside In the Light Night Flight... second fav song ... side note... The B side of the 45rpm release of The Immigrant Song is another top Zeppelin song.. Hey Hey What Can I Do Definitely worth a listen!
How do we really know this dude has never heard these songs before? Who's to say he's not familiar with them but, for the sake of receiving views, he puts on an act, and reacts as if the song he's playing is a new, musical experience for him?
This is one of the three songs in the Zeppelin catalog where Jimmy bowed the guitar - the others being Dazed and Confused and How Many More Times from the first album. Jimmy has said in interviews that this is his favorite song from this album. In terms of creativity and popularity, 1975 is the peak of Led Zeppelin. Although brilliant music preceded and followed Physical Graffiti, the 1975 tour and their album sales during this year were the high point of the band. When Physical Graffiti was released, that album plus all five of the previous LZ albums rose to the top 200 album chart at the same time - an unprecedented feat to that point in time for any band. In particular, the 5 nights they played at Earl's Court were a milestone in rock history. Renowned LZ biographer Dave Lewis has a great book documenting that set of shows, called: "Five Glorious Nights."
@@PeterTea No we're not. If you do a search you can see pics of it. years ago, I thought it was bowed too....but then I researched it and figured out what it was. I never knew In the Light was bowed until years later too. Live and learn.
Down by The Seaside is lighthearted tune to me -- I really cant pin down what category to put it in -- It just puts me in a Sunday afternoon wander about mood --- Almost like blue grass meets island meets folk meets rock --- cant wait till you hit Ten Years Gone
I grew up with Led Zep and Deep Purple since I was a teenager in the early '70's, to us they were just heavy rock bands with hard rock, blues rock and folk rock as a refiner title. The later heavy metal crew glommed onto hard rock bands like Led Zep and Deep Purple like a lightweight freeloader but stripped the early sound of nearly all blues rock, classical, country blues and folk influences. They just got louder with 'look at me' shredding guitars by self absorbed prima dona's with little understanding or patience for the subtleties of things like respectful homage, individuality and troutine collaborative band members music making. All nuance of familiar light and shade, heavy and in many cases delicate ensemble orchestration along with referential dancable nostalgic and memorable riffs with a wide variety of genres within their catalog and room to breath on every track, were exchanged in heavy metal for claustrophobic loud and dark alienating monochromatic demons and skulls and not much else. Heavy metal pretended to be the progeny of heavy blues rock but bore scarce similarities to it. In truth heavy metal is tinsel compared to the early '70's granite to the core rock. Something that is often overlooked by many is that nearly all early '70's rock band members were classically trained individuals who consciously developed an ear for a wide range of musical styles and tastes that fed directly into their songwriting and instrumentation. John Bonham used swing drum techniques from the '40's and '50's routinely, Ritchie Blackmore and Jon Lord of Deep Purple regularly adapted Bach's classical chord arrangements in many recordings It's safe to say that the same could not be said of heavy metal bands, they believe it was a waste of time. ''3 chords is all we need, so let's get rich.'' I've always believed disco, heavy metal and punk were the industry tools who sought to bring down what they snidely called large venue 'dinosaur rock' of the early to mid 1970's. Hard rock crushes heavy metal.
Imagine you're 16 years old and you're in your local record shop. You've been a fan of Zeppelin for a few years and you see a new album, this one, in the rack. Now they didn't have a lot of singles on the radio, even FM, there's no MTV or RUclips or music sharing sites. You throw this on the turntable, plug in your headphones, turn in your lava lamp or blacklight or both. Then 🤯
Back in the seventies 96 Rock in Atlanta on Monday nights would play the newest albums in full at midnight. I was 15 years old and had to go to school the next morning so I put a blank 8-Track tape in the recorder, put my headphones on and turned out the lights. Somewhere during the recording I fell a sleep. The next day all the kids at school kept asking me what the new Led Zeppelin album sounded like and would I say "It sounds like middle eastern music" !!! They all laughed and thought I was joking. None of them believed me. When I got home I played the tape and heard Kashmir and In the Light so I knew that I didn't dream them. It wasn't until about a week or so later that I found out what the names of the songs were.
Led Zeppelin Led represents the Hard/Heavy sound and Zeppelin represents the Soft/light sound; the name fits perfectly for one of the most eclectic bands ever! 😎🎸☮️💕
You had the quote of the day near the end of this reaction when it comes to choosing your favorite song: "I don't know anymore". LOL! It's how a lot of Zeppelin fanatics feel. Great reaction!
The third epic on that album and pretty much overshadowed by the other 2 but a heck of a song in its own right. Can't wait until you hear the Wanton Song, a banger that could have been comfortable on Led Zeppelin's II, one of their heaviest tunes. Enjoy! 🎸
They're often described, incorrectly as heavy metal, as they were such a huge influence on that emerging genre. Zeppelin themselves despise being described as metal. However they are part of the "Unholy Trinity" of heavy rock, alongside Deep Purple and Black Sabbath. Collectively these 3 bands are also known as the "Godfathers of Heavy Metal" as their influence on the genre was absolutely enormous. None of the 3 were really metal themselves, though all came close at times. Especially Sabbath. Zeppelin, in the 70s, were always defined as 'heavy rock'. Though within that label, they combined heavy rock with blues rock, hard rock and folk rock and the occasional other genre for good measure. Even a little proto-metal. As for 'In the Light', I don't know why it isn't recommended more often. Alongside Kashmir, it's the band's favourite track. It's definitely one of my favourite Zeppelin tracks. I always recommend it but it seems to be continually overlooked, for some strange reason. In my eyes, it's an absolute masterpiece, even by Zeppelin's ridiculously high standards! :)
Your reaction is pretty much my reaction every time i listen to this song. Also one of my favorite Jimmy riffs if not my favorite. It's got so much stank
This album this song especially is a huge part of my life experience. Learning to smoke weed and this song was played thought I was taken some were else.
Salvo physical graffiti is the greatest rock album of all time …. Why It has light and shade it draws you in . You can listen to it a thousand times and you still hear new dimensions to it . It is otherworldly
I had a feeling you would like this one. So great! This album is so diverse! They have trouble identifying Zeppelin, they always have. They proclaimed that they weren’t a rock band after the third album. That really pissed off Jimmy Page.
Everybody sees the light sometimes. Even a clock is wrong twice. Sometimes you just got to sing along...why? Even if you don't know the words you try!!
This song had no genre category...the only way to describe it is that it is pure artistic genius. I get goosebumps and even tears when I listen to this absolutely gorgeous masterpiece! I love your first impression reaction to this...I've been listening to this for 40 years and it still moves me.
Sitting on a Kent beach watching the sun come up while listening to the intro to In The Light you realise there is better music ever written that represents the mystique of sunrise
Zeppelin's best song. My friends showed me them 12 or so years ago but no one ever seemed to care or mention this song. I found it myself and knew immediately how special it was. It's got their trippiest beginning, heaviest riff, followed by their most beautiful, followed by a perfect ending. It sums up everything that was good about them.
I love this intro as well. It's a bit like the beginning of Pink Floyd's: "Echoes" and "Sheep", with all the delayed repeating notes and background whine, but stronger here in tone.
Hypnotic and majestic ! When we were teens we were addicted to this stuff. The alternate versions is some ways are better .Note : Always listen to the remastered...👍👍👍
You're starting to understand why we all have such a hard time picking a favorite. It's not a "song" it's Zeppelin.
I hate it when people ask what's my favourite Zeppelin song. After listening for 40 years, I say, The one I'm playing now 😁
Every Zeppelin song. Love them all.
It's easier for me to think of a Zeppelin song I don't like. There are about 3-4 songs I really don't like. Down by the Seaside and D'yer Mak'er come to mind. Also, there are a few songs I really liked until the radio played them to death.
Yes to this all day long! I think mostly this is because not only is every song so good but they are also so different it's hard to rank or compare them to each other. I have a long and ever changing list myself.
HELLO!!! Agree totally-but if I had one album to listen to on a island forever it would be”PHYSICAL GRAFFITI “!!!!!
“Everybody needs the light.” It’s a great song to help lift you from the depths of despair. Zeppelin is the light.
For some reason that reminds me of my fav Zep lyric….I know the way, know the way, know the way, I know the way!
Peter Tea is the Light in the comment section of Led Zeppelin Reactions. Glad to see you buddy🤣
Thanks Matthias. What can I say? Zeppelin just has a way.
Sure 'nough they do!
This album is just gold from start to finish
There will never be another Led Zep
Its bittersweet.
This is one of those trippy stoner songs, best listened to in a dark room while stoned.
Well stated, Zepplin are not just hard rock. They are ultra diverse. GOAT.
Well put!!
The correct response to the question of the best Led Zeppelin song is yes.
Just another example of why they're considered by many as the best band ever .
There’s no doubt
So much great music and I used to think how could there be a statement like that? It's true, though, and it's not even close. Greatest by far
@@sdc7823😂😂😂😂 this is an opinion
THIS IS VINTAGE ZEPPELIN!!
IN THE LIGHT IS A MASTERPIECE!!
Every note Jonsey played was poetry ✨
The George zHarrison of Zeppelin, the quite one- But actually proo the best musician of the bunch-Jonesey could play any instrument he picked up!!
@@marksharbono8375 you got that right partner✌🏽

Starting with Led Zeppelin is a never ending journey and love!!! I'm pleased to see young people listening to these four amazing guys!!
Totally agree! The chronological experience is very real and personal. It really takes me back...
Hopefully this will help influence these younger kids to stop listening to that fake ass pu$$y music and horrendous hip hop that they listen to now.
Started listening to them in 2019. As you can see, I’m a huge fan.
"OH MY GOD!!!" Yeah, he's feelin' it!!!

Do't worry about the classification. LZ is it's own genre.

Ten years gone coming soon. My favourite.
Led Zeppelin never recorded a bad song. 4 geniuses
Ten Years Gone. The best LZ ever recorded. This is up there....
Everybody needs the light!! And Zeppelin to rock out too!! FIRE!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Led Zepp 4Ever ❤️❤️❤️
You can’t go wrong with Zeppelin.
Jimmy sounds like he made a deal with the DEVIL,,,,,,fuckin grooves are HEAVY

And 200k advance before it was even recorded
Jimmy's cascading guitar effect makes it feel like the chords are raining down over the listener. So unique, adds to the power and soul of the lyrics.
Should have warned you about this song, it can take you to a place you might not want to never come back.
they did punk in the 60s, they made rock, blues, hard rock and metal, folk rock, country, reggae, pop, and progressive rock (sometimes mixing all those genres in one album).

PHys Graff - Side 3
IMO this is the best zeppelin album side. Zeppelin peaked here
in the light, ten years gone, down by the seaside, bron yaur
Ten Years Gone is their best song
Of all the tracks…Ten Years Gone, also my fav.
I’ve been listening to them for years and still have the same reaction. They have a great way of taking you on a chaotic ride, setting into an amazing grove then rinse and repeat. They’re one of a kind for sure.
Soo true how they go from slow to speed to slow to bombastic- nobody can do that these days - nobody!!!! It’s a stomp grove!!!
I was 9 years old when this album came out. The first time I heard this particular track was the day I realized how impactful drums can be to a song.

Bonham follows the guitar most times, not the bass....
Excellent reaction right there with you physical graffiti arguably the best rock album ever made
Best reaction to Zeppelin EVER!!
sorry I had to re-upload, last video had the wrong intro!
The many different layers of this song is incredible. . I find myself following a different guitar line each time I listen to it. And the drums? say no more.
one of my favorites. takes you away from any place you find yourself.
When we got this album, we were living on a sailboat in Hawaii, and living an already spiritually cosmic lifestyle, sailing the Hawaiian Isles, this music just heightened that experience. It fit right in.
You had a record player on a sailboat?
This song is just awesome! The album has so many different styles and I absolutely love it! 👌👏❤️
Omg that was a total ass kicker!!!
...and on the 8th day....God created.....LED ZEPPELIN!!! 😍
Hmm...love the background graphic. Very fitting.
I remember buying this album when I was 14, back in 1978, and finding the magic of each track. This was a favorite, and it's great seeing your reaction.
I was 16 and a junior in high school when I bought this in '75.
My only regret was never seeing them live. They played Madison Square Garden a few times in the mid seventies and the Garden is about an hours train ride from where I live.
Like your choice. The song is out of this world.
Bonham was phenomenal !! those 8 or 9 different types of rolls when the song nears its ending..... my my !!
Thank you for giveing me the opportunity to hear something other thab "Stairway to heaven" from this group. I will hear more music from them now.
LOVE the riff on this
Intro sound is Jimmy playing electric guitar with violin bow ! I saw them live at Knebworth 1979 !! There are no words !!!
The intro is amazing. I always feel as if I was lying on a meadow on a sunny day with me eyes closed 🙃it's very hypnotizing❤️could listen forever! My favourite and beloved album!!!!
One of their greatest songs. And it got no Airplay. In the light you will find the Road. Brilliant! I’m glad you get it! It’s a mind blowing track!
Lol!! Great reaction 🤣 They literally don't have a bad song.
I never really appreciated this song that much but I do now.
Way back in 1985 designing car audio, this was the one I used for refining clarity of sound. SRV 'Couldn't Stand the Weather' was my standard for the internal impact impact
I've been waiting for this...Priceless!
I know every song, every lyric... and I can tell you what track the song was on whichever album... my personal top Zeppelin songs are...
Ten Years Gone... all time fav song by any band
Down by the Seaside
In the Light
Night Flight... second fav song
... side note... The B side of the 45rpm release of The Immigrant Song is another top Zeppelin song..
Hey Hey What Can I Do
Definitely worth a listen!
I wish I could listen to Zep for the first time again.

How about In the Evening at the beginning? I think he might use a bow on that.
No. Peter...he used a Gizmotron (look it up). It's a device, not a bow.
I gave you a thumbs up anyway, because it's a good question.
@@tektoniks_architects Lol. Cool. We none of us perfect.
@@PeterTea No we're not. If you do a search you can see pics of it. years ago, I thought it was bowed too....but then I researched it and figured out what it was. I never knew In the Light was bowed until years later too. Live and learn.

Down by The Seaside is lighthearted tune to me -- I really cant pin down what category to put it in -- It just puts me in a Sunday afternoon wander about mood --- Almost like blue grass meets island meets folk meets rock --- cant wait till you hit Ten Years Gone
Yes. Those 2. Though the course may change sometimes rivers always reach the sea.
That's my second favorite Zep track, this being my first. I love the little licks Page does when Plant sings the "Out in the country" verse

You got to love how Led Zeppelin jumped from genre to genre, often in the space of the same song.
Yes, just about no one ever reacts to this song which is one of my favs out of so many! Classic reaction love it!
Talk about lost in the sauce.
Brilliant song and incredible keys
Another example of bringing in the Middle Eastern and Indian chords and scales into their music. I LOVE it when they did that!

Led Zeppelin
Led represents the Hard/Heavy sound and Zeppelin represents the Soft/light sound; the name fits perfectly for one of the most eclectic bands ever! 😎🎸☮️💕

Great tune, love this album, next one is a short instrumental so perhaps do Down by the Seaside along with it....
It was so fun watching you listen to this for the first time! A definite favorite...

IMHO we need an entirely new genre of music type just for Led Zeppelin
Your reaction is pretty much my reaction every time i listen to this song. Also one of my favorite Jimmy riffs if not my favorite. It's got so much stank
Another favorite. It's so experimental and unique. I could listen to this over and over for ages.
This album this song especially is a huge part of my life experience. Learning to smoke weed and this song was played thought I was taken some were else.
I was 13 years old.
Salvo physical graffiti is the greatest rock album of all time …. Why
It has light and shade it draws you in .
You can listen to it a thousand times and you still hear new dimensions to it .
It is otherworldly

I had a feeling you would like this one. So great! This album is so diverse! They have trouble identifying Zeppelin, they always have. They proclaimed that they weren’t a rock band after the third album. That really pissed off Jimmy Page.
All the Fuc*ing Clones have to always put things in little tidy boxes.
@@mrnobody3161 Exactly!
Everybody sees the light sometimes. Even a clock is wrong twice. Sometimes you just got to sing along...why? Even if you don't know the words you try!!
Wasn't able to watch yesterday when posted but SG you just made my day with this reaction. Welcome to one of if not the best album sides ever.
This song had no genre category...the only way to describe it is that it is pure artistic genius. I get goosebumps and even tears when I listen to this absolutely gorgeous masterpiece! I love your first impression reaction to this...I've been listening to this for 40 years and it still moves me.
Yes you will love it
Sitting on a Kent beach watching the sun come up while listening to the intro to In The Light you realise there is better music ever written that represents the mystique of sunrise
Zeppelin's best song. My friends showed me them 12 or so years ago but no one ever seemed to care or mention this song. I found it myself and knew immediately how special it was. It's got their trippiest beginning, heaviest riff, followed by their most beautiful, followed by a perfect ending. It sums up everything that was good about them.
this song is the greatest prog/experimental/ethereal rock song ever...
At this point I think I agree. Holy smokes
Underrated album
I love this intro as well. It's a bit like the beginning of Pink Floyd's: "Echoes" and "Sheep", with all the delayed repeating notes and background whine, but stronger here in tone.
"Physical Graffiti" is THE VERY BEST of Led Zeppelin! A double-down, towering, iconic explosion of cutting-edge 70s rock, with ABSOLUTELY NO FILLER!!
I seen your mind explode several times in this one...hehhehehe
There has never been and will never be a double album as complete as Physical Graffiti
SalvoG, 30 seconds into song: Am I gonna love this?
Audience of rabid Zepheads, with knowing smiles: Fuck YEAH you are!
Lol!!! Yes!
I can't imagine being a part of something like Led Zeppelin. What magic.
My favorite LZ album...Physical Grafitti. Just chock full of great music. Mark
Hypnotic and majestic ! When we were teens we were addicted to this stuff. The alternate versions is some ways are better .Note : Always listen to the remastered...👍👍👍
