Which is the worst Led Zep track?

RocknRollDave

To bring this back on topic: My ex was a big Wolves fan, and she was a black country woman...


...although that's not really back on topic as Black Country Woman ISN'T the worst Led Zep song.



D'yer Maker's a decent enough tune, only brought down by the pun.

Can I stick a target on my back and say I hate Immigrant Song?
It's not so much the music...although the shrieking vocal is shite - it's the lyrical content. "We come from the land of the ice and snow"...well, yes there were some very cold winters in the 70's, but you're from Wolverhampton, you tit.

"Valhalla I am comeeeeeeyeeeeyeeeyeeeeeinnnnnnng" Oh just  f*ck off!

This has turned into a very local thread indeed. Apologies to viewers from outside of the Central region. 

Judging by the gags and the music in this thread we're still in the 70's...

Can I just say that I am happy to pass on to Dave any targets or t-shirts saying "please kick me" that any Forumites may wish to send in...

Written after visiting Iceland I believe (not everything is autobiographical you know ;-) )

Given that it's a 70's track, wasn't it known as Beejam when Planty would have been there?

Excellent - Plant in his natural environment: with Kerry Katona and Peter Andre

But it gave Jack Black such a great scene in "School of Rock"!

Nah, Beejam was a different chain...that Iceland took over (no doubt using Viking pillaging tactics).

(one for the supermarket history fact fans).

I personally cannot stand The Battle Of Evermore. At all. When it comes on in the car my finger hits the skip button so quickly there's a sonic boom.

That's what I meant. 

For good measure he probably went to Presto in Halesowen before it becomes Safeway before it became... 

Hey what is it now in Halesowen? Last time I was there it probably WAS a Safeway...

There's a fantastically named Safebury's on the Hagley Road.

it's a Wilko's ( or however you spell that). One of the few shops Asda ( or The Asda to us) didn't kill off in the town.
This is getting very local again!

Wow! I love Wilkos. Must pop in there when I go again. Maybe I'll see Robert Plant in there.

Given that your user name is only one letter removed from 'hobbit', this is quite surprising! Or maybe not.

Actually I can't stand Tolkien, so I should probably hate TBOE as well, although it's only mildly irritating - and that might be the mandolin.

Not sure whether I think it is the worst LZ song or whether it just happens to be the most overrated LZ song but Stairway... I don't see what all the fuss is about.

xSkarloey

I've seen nicer views

Anyway interestibg to hear they use a falconer. I spose a lot of clubs do that.

Do you mind my asking what you were doing there?
