The Contrarians Presents: LED ZEPPELIN: The Best from the Worst

Catching this on the rebroadcast. Great show! Glad to see Hack on the panel tonight!

[@Dan-Gaucher]

Boogie with Stu was written by Ritchie Valens as the song Oohh My Head.Check that out!

[@askoholli9306]

And that itself was a kind of version of Little Richard's "Ooh! My Soul".

[@lyndoncmp5751]

Zeppelin credited his mother Mrs Valens on the song as they heard Ritchie's record company never paid her any royalties.

I thought I would share where things are as of now (8:01 pm Central Standard Time US) and give you the tally of selections.

I always thought Hats Off To Roy Harper was a crappy homage to Roy. He deserved much better.

[@toddhill7483]

I didn't realize he had performed the vocal for Have a Cigar for the longest time.

[@sspbrazil]

@@toddhill7483 they never paid him for it either and that always bothered him despite he and Glmour being good friends for many years.

[@toddhill7483]

@@sspbrazil yes, that was inexplicable and unfortunate

[@sspbrazil]

@@toddhill7483 I have a lot of stories about Roy, I was supposed to do a documentary for him in the early 2000’s after he piased the BBC off heh they approached him to do one on him. He sent them a long winded email which was typical Roy, the email outlined how he wanted the documentary done and after that the BBC passed. I was good friends with this George Fort when I lived in NYC, he was good friends with Roy and he did all the artwork for Roy’s album “The Dream Society” and he was good friends with Roy. Roy approached us it’s all these crazy ideas for the documentary and we were all in, he even flew George out to his home in Cork, Ireland to discuss it all, but then he pulled the plug because he though nobody would be interested in as he was still alive, he thought it would have more interest after he passed. He’s really and odd bird, a little bit off his rocker too. He ended up telling George a few stories and one of them was a story about when he was invited to David Gilmour’s 50th birthday party which was held at some swanky place in London and Rory started having a conversation with Gilmour and he then said to him half jokingly “When am I going to get paid for singing have a cigar?” then went on to say how much that album made and he didn’t see anything from it. Gilmour’s response was “Roy, why are you such a wanker.?”. Apparently, Roy left the party and the two never spoke again after that. He is still good friends with Jimmy Page though and Jimmy Performed with him at his 70th birthday show. I have to say, from getting to know him, he was his worst enemy most of the time, he’s still kicking at 83 though. He wasn’t supposed to live into his 30’s as he had a rare genetic disorder which did not allow enough oxygen to be produced in his blood cells which prevented oxygen from going to his heart and lungs, he had an experimental surgery which very thin wires were placed into his lungs to help oxygenate his blood vessels and it worked. I still like a lot of Roy’s music, but after having to deal with him personally, it became the old adage “don’t meet your heroes”.

[@lyndoncmp5751]

Led Zeppelin III deserved much better than that song. Hey Hey What Can I Do should have been on III instead.

[@edriley2703]

Four Sticks, Sick Again, Hats Off, Royal Orleans, I can't quit you baby, Hot Dog, Moby Dick, the Crunge. No particular order. We're Gonna Groove would be my favorite track left off of the 8 studio releases.

Great show guys. I would love to hear the reverse. A compilation of the best. Which I could bang out right now as well. Okay, here's the best of the worst (Led Zeppelin): 1. Led Zeppelin I - Your Time is Gonna Come (Boring!) 2. Led Zeppelin II - Thank You (I agree it's not a convincing love song. That song was written for Plant's wife, Maureen. What is and What Should Never Be was written for his ex-girlfriend and Plant's younger sister, Shirley. I think Shirley got the better end of that deal.) 3. Led Zeppelin III - Hats off to Roy Harper (I listen to and think WTF is this?!) 4. Led Zeppelin IV - Misty Mountain Hop (This is one of my favorite albums of all time. I don't hate this song, but it meanders a bit for me.) 5. Houses of the Holy - The Crunge (I agree, Plant's vocals kill what could've been a decent song.) 6. Presence - Royal Orleans (I so dislike this album, sorry. This song is just annoying!) 7. ITOD - Hot Dog (I hate country, rockabilly, whatever. I hate it even more when Zeppelin does it.) 8. Coda - Darlene (Did someone say it's a bad version of Southbound Saurez? That's what I think.)

[@billschuster6680]

Thanks! I'd be interested in doing the best of show you suggested. Here's my quick "best" picks: Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You, Ramble On, Celebration Day, Misty Mountain Hop, The Rain Song, Ten Years Gone, Achilles Last Stand, Fool In The Rain, Wearing & Tearing. Sorry so jumbled up. I'm on break, posting quickly from my phone. Zep 2, 3, 4 and Coda picks could all be changed out, but the others have long been locked in.

[@billschuster6680]

So what would be your best tracks from each album?

[@kimberlywalker3970]

@@billschuster6680 Okay, Bill, you've picked a couple of my favorites 😊😊What I'll do is my favorites and a runner-up list. I'll say that Led Zeppelin II is the hardest one for me because I really like the majority of the songs on that album with the exception of Moby Dick, Thank You and Living Loving Maid. The Lemon Song and What Is What Should Never Be on the lower end while Heartbreaker, Bring It on Home and Ramble On are runners-up to Whole Lotta Love. Okay, here's my list: ** LZ Favorites for each album: Led Zeppelin I - Communication Breakdown Led Zeppelin II - Whole Lotta Love Led Zeppelin III - Immigrant Song Led Zeppelin IV - When the Levee Breaks HOTH - Over the Hills and Far Away Physical Graffiti - Kashmir Presence - Nobody's Fault but Mine ITTOD - Fool in the Rain Coda - Wearing and Tearing ** LZ Favorites (Runners-Up) Led Zeppelin I - Dazed and Confused Led Zeppelin II - Ramble On (toughest pick) Led Zeppelin III - Bron-Y-Aur Led Zeppelin IV - Four Sticks (semi-tough) HOTH - The Ocean (Hands down) Physical Graffiti - Trampled Under Foot (tough call) Presence - Run for Your Life ITTOD - In the Evening Coda- We're Gonna Groove As I said, Led Zeppelin II was the toughest one. Led Zeppelin IV the two I picked are my absolute favorites, but I really love Rock and Roll, Black Dog and Stairway to Heaven. Physical Graffiti was between Trampled Under Foot and The Rover. Some of these picks were harder than most. The rest were relatively easy for me.

[@billschuster6680]

@@kimberlywalker3970 Nice! I could live with your best of picks. That would make a killer album. Like I think I said in the show, though, I pretty much like the whole Zeppelin catalogue. Thanks for all of your comments. I enjoyed your lists.

@@billschuster6680 Thanks, Bill. I hope to see your show and list sometime soon 😉 I agree, the Led Zeppelin catalog is pretty stellar. Out of the eight studio albums, there's one love I absolutely love, Led Zeppelin IV, four I like a lot, Physical Graffiti, HOTH, ITTOD and Led Zeppelin II, one I like, Led Zeppelin I, one that I don't love but appreciate for what it is, Led Zeppelin III and one that I think falls a little flat but better than most people's best, Presence. Most bands would kill to have that kind of catalog, wouldn't you agree? That's why they're one of my favorite bands and probably yours too 😊

[@nickbratis3326]

Down By The Seaside is the worst ? Yikes. Probably in my top 5 zep tracks.

[@lyndoncmp5751]

Yep. That's a lovely little song and shows their versatility. It's wonderful.

[@drterylene]

- You Shook Me (We don't need two covers of the same artist on one album and this is just so plodding and boring. Then it leads into another song that is almost exactly the same. I almost picked Dazed and Confused for that reason, but You Shook Me is just worse.) - Whole Lotta Love (I just don't like that middle section. I think this song could have been chopped in half and been much better.) - Hats Off to (Roy) Harper (I don't think this needs an explanation.) - Stairway to Heaven (Not a bad song, but if I was going to skip one song on IV, this would probably be it.) - No Quarter (This one always seemed like a demo to me. Just when it seems like it's going somewhere, it doesn't.) - Bron-Yr-Aur (Like Stairway, not a bad song, but the only one on the album I never think about. It's like they said, "Hey, we need to fill another two minutes on this side" and just threw this on.) - Tea For One (I may have only listened to this whole song once or twice. It's just not my thing.) - I'm Gonna Crawl (I like it better than Tea For One, but it's another one I rarely listen to and if I do, it's just because I was doing something that prevented me from skipping it.) - I Can't Quit You Baby (Why wasn't "Hey, Hey What Can I Do" included instead of a live cover of a cover already on another album?)

Damn this is tough. There is only 1 Zep track I don't particularly enjoy. Your Time Is Gonna Come (I love this tune I love the others more) Moby Dick - too much drum solo Celebration Day - something irks me about this song once in a while The Battle Of Evermore - love this song but I had to pick something The Crunge - Plant makes this otherwise amazing song unlistenable Down By The Seaside - I like the song but I don't love it. I might skip it were I inclined to skip tracks. Royal Orleans - I love Presence, every song. I had to pick one. All My Love - I feel bad for Robert but this is way too sappy for me. However I still enjoy it Bonzo's Montreux - nice tribute but no thanks.

[@DarkSideOfTheMoule]

I'm with Guitar Hack on the Battle of Evermore - it's so tedious, too many words, bad vocals (Robert Plant adopts a bleating, nasal, voice that reminds me of Larry The Lamb - an animated English TV character from the 70s) and there's no discernible rhythm or groove to it.

[@jimekberg]

Rock and Roll is their best song.

[@CathyLahn]

​@@jimekberg Hey, listen. I had to choose "something" from LZIV, and "Rock and Roll" while yeah, it is a great track, is certainly NOT their best song. Please. Why would you come on here just to say that? Did you get laid to it or something? I'm not saying that the song isn't good, it's very good indeed. And yeah, our band played it many times back in the early 80s, and with me being the lead guitarist, I can vouch for the fact that the song is great fun to play, and that it has excellent energy. And that our drummer loved to join me at that glorious ending. But I can also say that it did get old after a while, what with us playing it every Friday night, plus all the FM radio airings, etc. So, I'm sorry to have mentioned it as a least favorite. It was between this one and Stairway. Didn't have the heart to do that one, so, unfortunately "Rock and Roll" was nominated. I certainly wasn't going to say it was anything else on that classic LP.

[@jimekberg]

@@CathyLahn I think Four Sticks and Going to California is much worse songs and R&R + Black Dog is my two fav Zep songs.

[@CathyLahn]

​@@jimekbergWell, "Going To California" was indeed a possibility, but that dreamy/nightmarish section always impresses. And... you'll never convince me of anything to do with FOUR STICKS, which is one of the LP's best tracks. Jungle groove played against aloof, badass vocals. Fantastic! 1. Black Dog 2. When The Levee Breaks 3. Four Sticks 4. Battle of Evermore 5. Misty Mountain Hop 6. Stairway To Heaven 7. Rock and Roll 8. Going to California So, there ya go, I fixed it for ya!

You Shook Me - It just drags (on); I actually like Muddy Waters' original version, but this is plain boring Moby Dick - the riff is fine by me, but drum solos on studio albums should be prohibited Hats off to Roy Harper - an interesting song; that's the biggest 'compliment' I can think of Rock and Roll - just about any Little Richard song is better imo (his "Keep-a-Knockin'" famously inspired it) D'yer Mak'er - Reggae and John Bonham=NOOOOO!!! I don't mind it too much though Boogie with Stu - does nothing for me Candy Store Rock - not crazy about Elvis' early rockabilly stuff (the biggest inspiration, I would think?) to begin with, but at least it didn't take him 4+ minutes to sing those, er, ditties Hot Dog - pretty much same as above (except that it's 3+ minutes) I'd never listen to this album.

That's right, the brilliant "Black Country Woman" I dunno, it's hard for me to understand anyone who loves and appreciates tight, effective rock n roll not liking that song. But hey, that's your choice, and that's fine. I do love it dearly, as I do Custard Pie, IMTOD, Houses Of The Holy, Trampled Underfoot, Ten Years Gone, DBTS, Night Flight, The Wanton Song and Sick Again.
