Jimmy Page Picks His Top Three Led Zeppelin Songs

[@DaveRossignol]

Kashmir, Ten Years Gone, and The Rain Song are other worldly. I too am surprised Jimmy likes Whole Lot of Love.

[@MrEjhayes810]

The Rain Song is a masterpiece.

[@zeplica2004]

for me dazed and confused heartbreaker since ive been loving you

[@George-lq3yu]

I absolutely love & appreciate Jimmy Page's work and incredible talent. The first time I heard Jimmy Page was when he played the guitar solo on the song called I Pity The Fool, for David Bowie with The Mannish Boys. That was way back in 1965. I didn't hear it until sometime in the 1970's & loved him ever since. My favorite album of his is Outrider & my favorite Led Zeppelin album is commonly known as Zeppelin IV. Jimmy Page & Mick Ronson are my favorite guitarists of all time. They are the greatest. Sadly Mick Ronson is gone to Rock 'N' Roll Heaven, but I'm grateful that Jimmy Page is still with us. Love your work Jimmy keep on Rockin'!!! ☆☆☆☆☆

[@walterevans2118]

Live the riff of KASHMIR sounded THE SIZE of a CONTINENT ! …I don’t think I have EVER heard another riff that size actually….And Bonham’s DRUMMING …..omg.

[@someguy7993]

The DADGAD tuning he used for Kashmir is an open D suspended 4th chord, in case anyone was wondering. And Jimmy used an open G suspended 4th chord for the tuning to The Rain Song (studio version)

[@C-man553]

respect

[@zep121zep3]

My current 3 choices would be (in order of release) : Friends, Dancing Days, Achilles Last Stand. Current 'runners up' would be: The Ocean, The Wanton Song, The Rover. Or maybe Misty Mountain Hop, Hey Hey What Can I Do, In The Evening? Lets face it, if you're a Led Zep fan then you are spoilt for choice ! 🤔

[@davesutherland1864]

Those are three of my favourites, but I would have picked When the Levi Breaks over Kashmir. Both great songs.

[@stevewestall1482]

I agree . When The Levee Break is my pick over Kashmir.. barely✌️

[@artemiseritu]

My favorite is No Quarter... not even a contest, that song rips. Second goes to Over the Hills and Far Aaway

[@Cosmo-Kramer]

Jimmy wrote more iconic riffs than any other guitarist in rock history, and it ain't even close.

[@andrestrat]

Stairway is the song of a generation of guitarists.... No 1 to me. Iconic but played by too many maybe...I am sure, each LedZep fan has his own no1. Unique band at a unique time for R&R music history. We were so fortunate to experience this music as teenagers/young adults. I could have the same words for the Deep Purple (and smoke......)

[@user-fu2mi1nd5l]

Stairway is also on par with the best backmasking done in music history...The Beatles are proud

[@TheCollectorCave]

My favorites have changed through the years, but currently my three are: In My Time of Dying, No Quarter, and The Rover.

[@mz6504]

Rain song…..just lovely….

[@StuartHanson-fo7iw]

They really are a god like band ain’t they? Even their look was as good as their music, nothing weak, no passengers, all the best at what they did🇬🇧👍be lucky

[@MrThumbs63]

The answer is Ramble On, I'm Gonna Crawl, and Nobody's Fault But Mine.

[@doughoback5226]

[@mackbolan5126]

solid choices. mine are - Out on the tiles, The rover, Achilles last stand

[@richarddeluen5973]

The solo in Ten Years Gone is just sublime, note perfect

[@keithwillis5207]

I love so many of them. They all suit different times and different moods. But if I had to pick my favorite....the rain song. Watch the guys from Airplay Beats review that one. 😉

[@42976675]

I like thinking of Nobody’s Fault but Mine when I’m skiing.

[@robertwheatley2471]

1:28 ... Well perhaps if Page hadn't been too preoccupied with getting strung out on a particular substance intead of focusing more on ITTOD he might have liked it better. Which explains why the reigns of that album were handled by Plant and JPJ..

[@mikeduquesne3630]

Best band ever no discussion

[@Jgeneraledger23]

Always thought it would've been funny had Jimmy Page posed with The Osmonds as a prank in the 1970's... he'd blend right in... Love The Osmonds, love Jimmy!

During thieir time they were a bit mysterious and that was part of the appeal. Always keeping us wondering.

[@ericbgordon1575]

As of June 2024, I've learned so much more about Led Zeppelin than I what's aware of over the last couple of years while I was learning to play music in the 90s, they were a group that I had a hard time respecting because of how often their songs were played in classic rock rotation. It's like I had to undergo a disconnect from them and explore them record by record in order to embrace what it is they brought to music. Beforehand, I could only relate to them through some of the musicians they inspired like Boston, Def Leppard, Sammy Hagar, Poison, Journey and Foreigner.

[@markhill9275]

Actually Page has been quoted many times as saying Ramble On is his favourite, highlighting the light and shade of his music

[@fordbrackin6289]

For me, no song projected the mystique, style, and power of Led Zeppelin more than Four Sticks.

[@coxscorner]

My top 3 would also have Whole Lotta Love, Kashmir, and then Ten Years Gone for me.

[@brentfreeland5834]

Hendrix, the fire Page, the embers ✌🏻

[@sebastianquilt]

Page obviously wouldn't like 'In Through The Out Door' since he was in a drugged-induced stupor and didn't contribute to it. The band was frustrated with what he'd done to 'Presence' (their worst record, in my reckoning) and Robert Plant and John Paul Jones took a solid shot at envisioning Zeppelin in the future 80s. John Paul Jones wrote the bulk of 'In Through The Out Door', and 'Coda' is simply John Bonham's finest moment *the record's wicked underrated btw* I love Page, and the accolade's this video's introduction gives him are deserved. But he checked outta Zeppelin after 'Physical Graffiti' in '75. All that said, Page's picks are supreme. Awesome. The smile his playing WLLove.. put on Edge and Jack White's faces was priceless. One cannot help. A great light -- which will go out soon. When I saw 'The Song Remains the Same', I was 16, and I never saw anything like it: it was like the guitar, a Gibson by chance, was around before the dinosaurs, and Page is the only alien on earth to understand its import. The result is his guitar epitome. Few do it better.
