IT'S THE LED ZEPPELIN EPICS POLL part 2

"Babe I'm Gonna Leave" is probably my all time favorite on here...been into "The Song Remains The Same" lately, though.

For me, this comes down to "The Lemon Song" vs. "Trampled Under Foot" vs. "The Rover" vs. "In The Evening." "Trampled" takes it by a clavinet.

The Rover, narrowly over Ten Years Gone

i like Sandy Denny.

"ten years gone"

That's a surprisingly poor list. Nearly all my least favourite tracks are on there. I like maybe half, and even some of those bug me because there's no way they should be that length (e.g. Whole Lotta Love, Trampled Underfoot)

Anyway, it's 'Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You'

yeah it's definitely not as strong a list as the 7+ one.

fool in the rain?!?

fuuuck, my bad dog, i must've deleted it by accident when i was finalizing the list but that totally should be there. can we pick some song nobody likes and make it the unofficial write-in ballot for Fool? maybe Darlene?

Ten Years Gone I think.

TRB

Ten Years Gone might be my all time Zep fave.

That's the Way is my favorite zep song.

torn between "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You" and "Ten Years Gone". tempted to go with "Ten" because it's not as overplayed, but I think it has to be "Babe".

i love most of the songs on this list.

i went with the one I had my last fixation on

Down By The Seaside

In the Evening: greatest guitar solo of all time.

it's GOOD, but I still maintain that Pagey's WEIRDEST is that crazy 'Hots On For Nowhere' solo, where he is basically just cracked out

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

nobody votes for Wearing and Tearing?! ILM!!!

(actually I think I might have to go with Travelling Riverside Blues)

I hope all The Rain Song people pick the precursor!

rock

I'll throw in the only vote that Traveling Riverside Blues is going to get. It was, surprisingly, the first Led Zeppelin song I ever heard.

um dude i was like three posts above you...

ten years gone is crazy good.

In the Evening: greatest guitar solo of all time.

argh I can't find the thread where I told the story of that solo :(

I was looking for it too!

Maybe it was on the sandbox.

one for the so-completely-fabricated-it-has-to-be-true ages... sigh...

(voted "In The Evening" btw - Myonga VB so rong re: teh riff)

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

I regret nothing, but The Rover got hosed.

digging these results, even though I still feel bad that I left out "Fool In The Rain," which probably would've done well.

“Bayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy”

I've been working from seven seven seven to eleven leven leven every niiiight

TS: working from eleven to seven every night* vs. working from seven to eleven every night

* (as in the Moby Grape song this was derived from)

didn't know these well enough at the time. now that I've spent more time with the back half of the catalog, i'd go "Ten Years Gone" and tie it up. man it rocks.

in hindsight, i would lobby for one poll with the cutoff at 6:30... i think everything below that is actually just a regular song that completely got away from them rather than an epic as such. oh well. great threads both.

I'd go Song Remains the Same now. Sorry The Rover. You do rock though.

dr. c otm, i don't think of songs like "darlene" and "that's the way" as epics
