If Zeppelin can have an underrated song for the general public, this would be the one.

[@davidbordonaro1631]

Absofreakinlutely !

[@zephed64]

Amen brother. This song should be as well known as Stairway

[@mr.snicker-doodles7081]

For sure, MOST ppl only know Stairway and for the Beatles, Hey JUDE is their favorite song haha...(both great, but come on!)

[@chrisw3421]

Hard to argue with that... Amazing song.. the tempo is perfect

[@gmcsrbosavl6964]

Agreed. This one is an absolute gem.

[@davidreilly8888]

Best guitarist, best drummer, best vocalist, best multi instrumentalist. Best band ever.

[@patrickvecchio8138]

The diversity of this band’s music is unmatched.Blues,metal,acoustic,ballads,….you name it.I am so grateful for living through the greatest period of RnR .

[@billherman7294]

Even a stab at country with "Hotdog"

[@darrenmaxwell1085]

I think the Beatles are just as diverse!

[@hungfao]

@@darrenmaxwell1085 and they even invented some genres and recording techniques along the way that great groups like LZ expanded upon very successfully.

I believe that in the musical diversity, you have forgotten PRINCE.

[@tnightwolf]

Even Ska! 🤣

[@chaosandcreation4118]

Plant explained this in an interview in 1975: Let me tell you a little story behind the song "Ten Years Gone" on our new album. I was working my ass off before joining Zeppelin. A lady I really dearly loved said, "Right. It's me or your fans." Not that I had fans, but I said, "I can't stop, I've got to keep going." She's quite content these days, I imagine. She's got a washing machine that works by itself and a little sports car. We wouldn't have anything to say anymore. I could probably relate to her, but she couldn't relate to me. I'd be smiling too much. Ten years gone, I'm afraid. Anyway, there's a gamble for you.

Timeless

The complexity makes it difficult to analyze but easy to enjoy! The best at their craft and the enduring nature of this music is proof.

[@cazkain]

Jimmy Page is a magician. I've never heard any other guitar player who can capture the mood and convey human emotion like he does . To me , he is one of the most brilliant musicians rock and roll has ever had. I can understand why he was accused of having supernatural assistance in creating music. 😆. uncanny

[@billherman7294]

Agreed and you can also say wothout JPJ none of it works but the truth is, the 4 of them were the magic potpourri.

[@rodneyfrazer2424]

Take away just one element, just one musician, and they wouldn't be who they were. They were perfect together. Switch out Bonham for Moon? Nope. Switch out Jone's versatility and steadiness with Chris Squire or Jack Bruce? Nope. Replace Page with Clapton or Richard's? Nope. Replace Plant with whoever? Nope, just can't even imagine Zeppelin with another vocalist! This band was the perfect match. They just wouldn't have been Led Zeppelin had they tried to replace Bonham after he passed. The Who were decent after replacing Moon, but it wasn't the same, just wasn't.

[@catmanpc9166]

Three of the most epic, well articulated, quote worthy comments about Zeppelin I have ever read. Bravo to all three amigos!

[@rodneyfrazer2424]

Very kind of you to say, thank you!

So glad this generation is appreciating the music I grew up with ... I literally wore out 2 copies of Physical Graffiti...

[@LewDanLascivious8276]

Well they do say repetition is an excellent form on mind control that will dumb you down and give you a short attention span especially if you listen to today's hip hop and rap.😂

[@classic-kool]

@@LewDanLascivious8276 - Quote from "Stairway to Heaven": 'The Pied Piper is calling you to join him'..... that's Robert Plant telling you that HE'S the Pied Piper, and "If you listen very hard, the music will come to you at last".. All the elements of mind control ... Those albums are definitely buried into my subconscious mind, but, so far so good.

[@LewDanLascivious8276]

@@classic-kool And that's exactly why I don't listen to them anymore because Jimmy Page belongs to the Golden Dawn secret society and worships that self-admitted Satanist pedophile and cannibal Aleister Crowley. And what's the subliminal message in the song? "She's buying a stairway to heaven" You can't buy your way to heaven, you have to repent of your sins; do all the good deeds in the world that you want but if we don't repent of our sins that Jesus died for because he loves us were not going to heaven.⬇️ Matthew 7: 21-23

Only 2....? 👀 😁

[@victorjohnson7512]

Page's bitter sweet guitar solo perfectly matches Plant 's lyrics about a first love, ten years gone...

[@tektoniks_architects]

Stretching their wings on this album, and this album side. Jimmy Page wrote the music for this track in his home studio, the entire structure for it, and brought it into the studio in its near-final form. Utter Page brilliance.

[@kirkwarburton2277]

I think this may be the only Zep song that you’ve been sucked into feeling like you have to play it all through with being able to stop it. That says something wonderful.

[@sharona256]

This song always makes me feel sad and nostalgic for past loves

[@user-uk5jh1lk8f]

One of my favorite. And "Down by the Sea Side" too.

[@davidmastro5406]

Jimmy Page was evidently one of the first musicians to experiment with "ambient" recording--e.g., instead of just putting one mic in front of the drums and amps, he used multiple mics, like one in front of the drums and another 20 feet back, and he would record the balance between the two, in an effort to capture the sound of the room. It clearly paid off. Thanks for yet another excellent reaction, gentlemen.

[@tektoniks_architects]

This is yet another major contribution Jimmy Page made to popular music that gets overlooked. His early session work was immeasurable experience in the world of recording and sound engineering that all came together during his Zeppelin days.

[@bjwnashe5589]

A tour de force, especially the guitar playing. In the studio, Jimmy's musical choices are always brilliant. Here the way he layers three, four, even five guitar parts is amazing. I think he is unparalleled in rock music in this regard.

[@Frankincensedjb123]

Range of genres and styles, production, instrumentation, arrangements, musicianship. improvisational and song writing skills .... Zep excelled and exceeded all other bands in all categories. The greatest rock band of all time, bar none.

[@gregwasserman2635]

While my two favorite Zep tunes are "Dazed and Confused" and "Heartbreaker", this song means a bit more to me. I've said this on other reaction channels, but I listened to this song a lot while I battled cancer. The lyrics meant something a bit different to me, not love lost, but time I can never have back while I underwent radiation treatment, chemo, and a stem cell transplant. "Though the course may change, rivers always reach the sea." The disease changed the course of my life, but it went on and will eventually reach an end.

[@DrVonChilla]

I've been listening to "Physical Graffiti" for more than 40 years and it remains my favorite song on my favorite Led Zeppelin album. 😃

[@kirkwarburton2277]

Love this song. So freaking gorgeous and poignant. “We are eagles of one nest, the nest is in our soul”. I think it’s up there with The Rain Song in their most beautiful moments. So glad you loved it too!

[@henriettaskolnick4445]

This song is about a pre-fame girlfriend of Robert's who told him to choose between her and music. The song is very lush, it is beautifully nuanced. There are many guitar overdubs to give it a very rich sound, including a warm, melodic bass line. I love how they effortlessly flow between opposites of fast/slow, soft/hard, etc. yet always manage to seamlessly return to the beginning as Plant's voice moves you soothingly along a path of quiet introspection/reflection, whatever it is that is in your feelings. Tastefully played drums are just enough to elevate without completely breaking the spell. It is a sumptuous tapestry of song.

[@steveguth1987]

Most underrated but easily most beautiful! The production is sublime the ‘guitar army’ that pagey always loved like on Achilles from Presence. Too bad never could play same live..my dream would have been asking his best friend Jeff Beck to join on tours following this album. Floyd and Gilmour started that by ‘77 with Snowy White guesting 2nd guitar to help re-produce studio multi guitar sound.

This song is a masterpiece. The guitar and bass draw you in then boom! The melody and refrain just soar above you. The lyrics are beautiful. This is absolutely majestic!

Also the guitar uses the mixolydian flat 6th mode, which is now sometimes referred to as the Ten Years Gone scale.

Best song, best album, best band.

[@Makai77]

Such a powerful sound in this song, contrasted by the bluesy mellowness. As a Led Zeppelin fan of many, many years, Ten Years Gone reigned as my favorite Zep song for a good period of time. With such a great library, there have been many different favorites over the years...

[@jdbroders64]

Killer song from a killer album from a monster and killer band. I grew up listening to them on FM radio and had some of their LP's including this one. Man, it changed my life. They were the best and at the height of their creative powers. Nobody could touch them musically and creatively back then. Heck, even now. They were so talented and gifted. I love them for all the wonderful memories in my teens when I was exploring music. They were the best in so many amazing ways. Truly magic...

[@Reyajh]

When I think back to all the great times we had, all the friends now gone, if there's one thing that comes the closest to catching it, pulling it all together, drawing the memories, the love, the hurt, the pain... @3:36 and on... "Will you ever remember me baby?" How could I ever forget... -Ten Years Gone.

[@elmerkilred159]

Jimmy Page (guitarist) was a go-to session musician in the 60s. He's played with the greats. The Who, The Rolling Stones, Jeff Beck... He knows the production end of music. His big studio sound transferred over into film in the 80s for the Charles Bronson (as Kersey) series, "Death Wish," when he is using Ennio Morricone fuzz face sound effects, and various creep montages. (Death Wish II & III). Page is a guitar legend.

[@dawngipe6324]

This is my favorite song...mellow, but then gets little more dynamic...guitar is great...vocals amazing...deep song.

So much to say about this reaction! First I want to thank you for your LZ reactions generally. I was maybe a little young to fully appreciate them in the day. I was 15 when I saw them live in Oakland on a fateful day in 1977. Then they were gone and never came back (read about it). So, this music was the soundtrack to our lives. We knew it was good, but we didn’t know why. Rediscovering with you has brought this music back to me with a much deeper appreciation and enjoyment. I watch for your LZ posts. The music and the perfection of these songs is made real through witnessing your experience. It’s a big deal. Thank you.

Robert Plant played a tiny, tiny gig in a town near to where I live. He was great, and he stayed to meet people afterwards. I took my very knackered copy of Physical Graffiti and asked hin to sign it, which he did - with the most extraordinary grace and appreciation. He asked me me which of the songs Imliked the most.

You know, its unbelievable that they put together their first album, with Page the elder statesman at just 25, Jones at at 23, and only 21 for Bonham and Plant. My God, at 21 I was floating around in circles on an aircraft carrier in the Indian Ocean with no clue what I wanted to do in life, let alone even giving it really much thought! And these guys, right from their first album, rock gods. Ages 21 to 25. Absolutely incredible.
