Is that a live album?
People are voting for a song, not a version. But technically no, as it is not a LZ album.
Yes, it was a live album of Page and Plant. It was on MTV back in the day.Is that a live album?
There were also some later Plant/Page albums I believe that I tried to get into. That Black Crows/Page live album was strong though I thought.
Man this all seems so long ago, are we….old?!?
I love it, as is, but I do sometimes imagine how it could have been recorded/produced better.

"Hey Hey What Can I Do" was included as a bonus track as part of the 10-disc "Complete Studio Recordings" box from 1993, but it was NOT included on the subsequent standalone re-issues of "Coda".
I haven't quite finished my rankings but am close but it's going to be hard to keep a 2 for 1 off the list. You get 2 Zeppelin songs for the ranking of one. Hard to leave that off the list.
How are the mass ballots affecting the overall rankings? Are they more generic? Do the totally out of kilter rankings affect the overall much?
The odd toss in songs that aren't on many lists pretty much go to the bottom of the total rankings as they don't have enough total points to really make a dent. But things can certainly change with a bunch of similar lists. For example, there was a surprise song (at least to me) that was overall ranked right around the Top 5 for a long time. Then 5 lists came in and that song was left off all of them, so that song has fallen out of the Top 10.
Not really. I only have a double CD compilation that i maybe listened to twice. I could probably get to 10, but it’s just not in my musical taste. Gets boring and repetitive quickly. Same with AC/DC. I love the passion of people who really get into them, but needs more synth and electronica lol
Out of my purview in terms of screening questions. LOL. I have no idea how old anyone is. In my case, I came along right at the tail end of the band. So I missed all the good years and then doubled back to get into them. But there was a good 10 years from when the band broke up that FM radio was FLOODED with Zeppelin. From what I remember, they were played more than when they were still together. There was even an FM station in Florida I think that went to an all LZ format. Crazy times.
I'm not submitting a list because I'm either too lazy or too busy (and I'm too lazy or too busy to know which one it is), but.....
I think you could probably make yourself available to make a list. You certainly are qualified. Laziness and busyness seem like excuses to me. You have a minimum of 2 more weeks to work on one. Pretty sure you could work within that window.I'm not submitting a list because I'm either too lazy or too busy (and I'm too lazy or too busy to know which one it is), but.....
I was born in 1962 and Zep's early stuff wouldn't have much been on my radar as a young kid, if I were left to my own devices (AM Radio). But I had a hippie aunt nine years older than me who used to baby-sit when my parents would go out, and who had a profound affect on my pop-culture growth. She listened to free-form channels, which were really the only outlet for the Woodstock-era artists before the rise of AOR (unless they had an AM hit). So, I heard a ton of LZ (which took) and the Dead (which didn't).
If I were submitting a ranking, it would - like most - lean early, but I liked Presence and ITTOD better than many die-hards and would have at least a couple of songs in my Top 25 from each. I was a teenager when those 2 LPs came out and they hit hard.
My aunt also took me to a double-feature of one of the Herbie The Love Bug movies and Blazing Saddles when I was 12
If I'm able to run the gauntlet I have the next 7 days, we'll see. I'll need to marathon their albums. Some of the song titles on the written page still confound me after 50 years of listening, so I can't shoot from the hip like I can with most artists (Beatles, Barry Manilow, all the other giants) by just looking at the name of the song.
Ten Years Gone was initially there but just missed.
I just wanted to point out that in the boxed set, Heartbreaker leads directly into Communication Breakdown.
Technically and logically, Heartbreaker and LLM should be two songs, but since I didn't specify and some folks sent me lists with them combined, I just let them count as one song. Having enough trouble getting folks to submit lists, not going to chase them to have to send me an updated list. It won't make that much difference in the long run.
Also, LLM was never played live because Page hated it, but Heartbreaker was played live as a standalone all the time.
Late to the party here, when is the last possible day to submit? I've been a fan since the 70s and had every album on vinyl until my mom decided to sell my entire recorded collection at a garage sale shortly after I got married 30+ years ago. I've recollected almost all back on vinyl and think it'd be fun over this weekend to build my list while listening. Would a later Sunday PM work?Anarchy99 said:
You still have time. Will start nudging people starting this weekend. Hope to get all the lists by the following weekend.
