Has anybody else noticed that every Led Zeppelin song is great?

Last song my dad listened on his death bed, with a glass of bourbon and a cigarette in his hand. 🌹🌹🌹 Daddy I miss you, and you showed me great music, among so many other things. R.I.P.

I teach my grandkids all of the wonderful music from our past. Most new music sucks

It was 1973, I was 13, My parents rented a place on the beach for a week. We brought a portable record player and a few choice albums, Houses of the Holy being one of them. My sister is a musician/guitar player/singer. We met a guy playing guitar on the beach, exchanged pleasantries. He played a few Zeppelin songs, Stairway to Heaven, Whole Lotta Love, etc. My sister then said, “play Over the Hills and Far Away, ” and he made a weird face. He got up and seemed insulted, started to walk away until she said, “Wait.”. Turns out he didn’t know the song yet, the album had just come out. He thought we were asking him to leave. Fun days.

As difficult a decision as it surely is to make, this might be my favourite Zep song.

This song is my daughter's!! Her name was Page, of course. She always smiled when she heard this song!!! She passed away a long time ago but when I hear this song I know she is thinking about about me wherever she is!!

Led Zeppelin was not a band . They are music wizards . 🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼

John Bonham ain't dead!!! He just went over the hills, and far away.

When the electrics kick in at 1:27, it always gives me goosebumps.

[Lumen]

My dad would always play the acoustic intro of this song on his guitar. He's not dead or anything, he just caused this song to have a strong emotional impact on me.

Today at 70yo, this still rings true. [Funny how in our PC world, little Stefan and Sam crawling over the rocks would have been banned.] Screw our modern world...take me back any day...Rock on. I'm a classical pianist, but home alone I pick up my guitar, turn up the volume and play Led Zeppelin, SRV, EC and all the greats that brought me into the world of music

[russell_poppi]

It's been said, but I will say it again... The greatest rock band of all time.

[christhevancura]

I can't express how much I love this song

[colinmumford]

I always envy young teens discovering zeppelin they have some great music journey ahead of them

[darrenoliverio]

Aren’t you glad god gave us zeppelin???
This makes me happy.

[sarahdelariva]

My beautiful big brother went peacefully in his sleep listening to this song...



I cant stop listening.

It's July 2023 and here I am at age 71. Blessed to have had Zeppelin integral to my youth....and obviously still rocking on.

[timothykearns]

I just drank a bottle of fine just listened to this just achieved ecstasy.

I’m a classical pianist. My favorite composers are Brahms, Tchaikovsky and Chopin. These guys are as miraculous as any composer in history.
