Ranking Led Zeppelin Songs - Request To Participate (1 Viewer)

[Sinn Fein]

Stairway did not make my cut. I do think they kinda "borrowed" a bit too much for that song, so it's kind of on principle.

Odd criteria, all things considered.  At least with Dazed and Confused, Whole lot of Love and Babe I'd Gonna Leave You - the band were successfully sued, and have since changed song-writing credits.

LZ won the Stairway to Heaven lawsuit..

 

[Just Win Baby]

Was going to mention this later, but they couldn’t get the song rights to use any songs from the fourth album for the movie. But they got Kashmir instead. Not sure why they didn’t change the line in the movie instead. 

I always wondered why they didn't change the line too but I think it just shows that Ratner was pretty hapless when it came to dating.  He really wasn't that slick.

I always assumed it was intentional, to show Ratner's haplessness. (Good word choice.)

Totally get it. I got a sour thing for Stairway.  Same for Kashmir, though it made my list. 25 year-old me would have put it in the top 5.

I think this is true of most artists, if you're only listening to them after-the-fact (as opposed to actually being in the audience when the songs were played, which is a whole different thing). 

That said, there's a live version of "Trampled Underfoot" in one of their concert films that smokes the studio version. 

Not Pearl Jam.

I'm sure that if i had been in the crowd at Madison Square Garden and stoned our of my mind I wouldn't of mind. I  know what you mean and just my opinion.  

 

[Hot Diggity Dog]

Don't forget his hair. He has always had nice hair.

His hair is completely different, can never get enough of his hair.

I can't tell what you agree or disagree with in regards to what I said

 

[Uruk-Hai]

Not Pearl Jam.

"Not Pearl Jam" what?

 

[skol asylum]

"Not Pearl Jam" what?

Maybe I misunderstood. Thought you said most artists don't sound as good live as they do recorded. Just an observation that PJ sound even better live.

Are you saying you don't celebrate his pants? You got the bellbottom blues?

 

[jamny]

So...results tomorrow?

 

[Anarchy99]

So...results tomorrow?

No. There won’t be some big reveal. Results will be one song at a time, most likely one a day. Will probably start on Monday. 

 

[PIK95]

meh, have you seen his pants?

Has anybody seen the bridge?

 

[Pip's Invitation]

Has anybody seen the bridge?

I didn't see it on my list.

Nah, Pearl Jam sounds A LOOOOOT better live than studio.

Some people say the Crunge is the worst song on HOH, I don't agree

Odd criteria, all things considered.  At least with Dazed and Confused, Whole lot of Love and Babe I'd Gonna Leave You - the band were successfully sued, and have since changed song-writing credits.

The truth of their songwriting controversies is a little more nuanced than this. To wit:

Dazed And Confused - Jake Holmes dropped his lawsuit in exchange for a shout-out in the liner notes ("Inspired by Jake Holmes"), but the actual songwriting credit was not changed.

Whole Lotta Love - Willie Dixon dropped his lawsuit in exchange for a lump sum and a 1/5th writing credit.

Babe I'm Gonna Leave You - Anne Bredon didn't file a lawsuit. She just had her publisher contact Zep and they subsequently adjusted the writing credit.

I'd also argue that on an ethical level, Zep's actions were 100% justified in the case of BIGLY (since Joan Baez had improperly claimed that it was a traditional song). I also think that Zep got a bit of a bad rap for WLL, considering the fact that it was an acceptable practice in the '60s to take credit for re-written blues songs. Willie Dixon himself was no stranger to the practice.

Are you starting at the bottom of the list or the top 25?

I kind of want to see the whole list done, but doing top 25 leaves some drama and guessing left.

 

[PIK95]

That record doesn't have a bad one imo.  I like the Crunge, probably between 30-40.  Jamica and No Quarter would both be ranked below the Crunge in my HOTH list. 

 

[Hot Diggity Dog]

i don't either, I'm currently stoned out of my mind.  I don't think I am in Madison Square garden though.

Is the list going to be contained or updated in a single post? I want to put this in a Spotify play list.

There will be a new thread up in a couple of days. The first post in the new thread will be updated each time a song is added. There will be a post about each song (hopefully) added each day starting with the least popular song working our way to the most popular song. Can’t promise you that every song will be available on Spotify almost all will.

Hmmm...thought their entire catalog is on there. It was a big deal way back when when they finally put it on there.

Not everyone ordered off the official song release menu. 

 

[Anarchy99]

I should be getting 1 or 2 more lists to you.

Any idea how close these are to being done and if I will actually get a hold of them?

 

[Anarchy99]

Yea, I believe he is working on it,  Unfortunately he told me this morning his whole family has covid, except him...so he said he should have time to work on it...

Can you find out how this is going and apply suitable pressure to get completed, if possible? Hoping to get all the list processing done after today.

 

[Anarchy99]

Totally true.

You need to get me one more song for your list. You doubled up on one song.

I sent it yesterday 

Hang on…

I see it. Forgot that you use email. Everyone else PMed me.

There’s always one that had to be different than the rest….

 

[Anarchy99]

If anyone else wants to submit a list, today is the day. If anyone else wants to make changes to a list already submitted, this is the last day to do so (and several of you have taken that option already today).

Not really. I'm not expecting this to start until like Friday.  He will wait foe someone's uncles cousin step mother.

His list was monumentally more interesting than yours. Like substantially more interesting. I originally was going to post this as a joke, but in this case it happens to be true.

 

[AAABatteries]

I just asked again for them to get sent.  If you get to a point where you need to cut it off then just leave them out.

how do you feel about bumping the song count up?

30? ...40?

Hopefully I'm not missing a joke here but I assumed it would be starting with the lowest ranked song(s) that were ranked by at least one person.  So, hypothetically, if one person listed Stairway 25th and it was the 70th song then Monday we would get

70.  Stairway  (1 pt. - ranked by Doofus (25th))

Something like that.

This would be good.

However, I don't think it was what was planned. As a compromise, I would love to do do this as a full list and each day is a 10 song reveal. 

Songs 61-70. Next day 51-60, etc. 

This way we see where all the songs fell, it's not a big song dump, but it also doesn't take a month to reveal but instead gets done in a week.

I know I'm not in charge, but stretching this out over 25 days doesn't sound appealing. Even if we only do 25 songs, I would prefer 5 songs/day.

I was asking Getz about whether the Beatles ranked list could be bumped up ...

Why is this so difficult for people to understand? All songs that got at least one vote will be included. Each song will get an extensive write up. Might be able to get to more than one song a day if I have time.

Can you list all songs (if any) that did not get a vote?
