led zeppelin best of for a friend, how are these tracks?
knowing that there isn't a really good best of collection out there, a friend of mine wanted me to make a collection of the best zeppelin songs on 2 discs of only the good stuff (skip the last 2 albums in other words)
here's what i came up with best of.. singles 1. communication breakdown 2. I can't quit you baby 3. whole lot of love 4. thank you 5. heartbreaker 6. ramble on 7. since i've been loving you (bbc live version) 8. black dog 9. rock and roll 10.stairway to heaven 11.over the hills and far away 12.dancing days 13.the ocean 14.custard pie 15.houses of the holy 16.kashmire total run time 79.47 best of.. album tracks 1. babe i'm gonna leave you 2. dazed and confused 3. good times bad times 4. what is and should never be 5. moby dick 6. traveling riverside blues (bbc live version) 7. the immagrant song 8. hey hey what can i do (immagrant song cd single version) 9. the battle of evermore 10.misty mountain hop 11.going to california 12.the rain song 13.d'yer maker 14.in my time of dying 15.trampled underfoot total run time 79.22 so, hows that. |
got all my favorites on there. sounds damn good to me
|
Now, you may call me crazy, but I would replace Black Dog and Rock and Roll with at least Achilles' Last Stand (long song) and maybe also Candy Store Rock, both from Presence. Presence actually has some good songs. BD and RnR are good songs, but you can turn on any classic rock station and hear them. Achilles' is just an incredible song.
Do it man, just do it. He will appreciate you more later. :) |
:up: to the addition of anything from "Presence".
|
Out on the Tiles!
|
I would try to find a way to put In The LIght and Nobody's Fault But Mine on there.

Pretty good list, but there's no way you can have a best of Zeppelin without When the Levee Breaks. That big echoey drum sound gives me chills just thining about it. Cut out Going to California and see if it'll fit.
|
there are a handful of songs i would add to the list
Down by the Seaside In the Light Night Flight Tangerine Any best of I made, single or double would HAVE to have these songs on it. |

I can't quit you baby 6. traveling riverside blues (bbc live version) 8. hey hey what can i do (immagrant song cd single version) so, hows that. Those are all from their last album, Coda. Also, Presence is their third-to-last album. You definitely want to include "When the Levee Breaks" and "No Quarter." Why not buy the greatest hits "Early Days" and "Latter Days?" That would be legal, too. |
Coda's not really an album, but a collection of rarities and outtakes.
|
I thought it was like half and half? Hmm..no, I was wrong. I must be thinking of some other band's last album. Don't I feel like an ass. I stand by my other suggestions.

there are only a few real duds in the Zep catalogue, but if i had to narrow it down to a teen number of songs with overall best, i'd go with:
1. Communication Breakdown 2. Dazed And Confused 3. Thank You 4. Heartbreaker 5. Living Loving Maid (She's Just A Woman) 6. Ramble On 7. Immigrant Song 8. Tangerine 9. Bron-Y-Aur Stomp 10. That's The Way 11. Rock And Roll 12. Stairway To Heaven 13. When The Levee Breaks 14. The Rain Song 15. Over The Hills And Far Away 16. The Ocean 17. Trampled Under Foot 18. In The Light 19. Kashmir 20. Down By The Seaside 21. Nobody's Fault But Mine 22. All My Love ah crap, i just can't possibly make the list less than 22. probably why Zep is my favourite band. |

Originally posted by Rypro 525 forgot "whole lot of love", and you can put about 30 songs per disc, so you can add a frew more. |
Really, all you need to do is give your friend physical graffitti. should work just as well.
