10 worst led zeppelin songs

[rone]

#10: "Bonzo's Montreux"  God rest his hard-drinking soul, but this percussion solo is wanktacular.

#9: "Night Flight"  I can't put my finger on what bothers me about this song, but i do know i skip it a lot when it comes on.

#8: "Down By the Seaside"  Like they were trying to do a Donovan pastiche.  Just wrong.

#7: "All My Love"  Overplayed, and a wretched keyboard solo by Jonesy.

#6: "D'yer Mak'er"  Reggae.  So bad it was covered by Sheryl Crow.  `Nuff said.

#5: "No Quarter"  A boring and overly long dirge.  Tool's cover is about 20 times better than the original.

#4: "Tangerine"  Squishy.  This track really shows off the poor production of the album, especially where in many songs, the vocal tracks are off-key from each other.

#3: "Thank You"  Starkly bereft of any of the musicality that makes Led Zeppelin great.

#2: "Your Time Is Gonna Come"  Melodramatic and overblown.

#1: "Hey Hey What Can I Do"  Inane.  So bad it was covered by Hootie and the Blowfish.

"The Rain Song." That's an easy one to forget about. Horrible. I think it is the only LZ song that I have specifically deleted from my iTunes library---never to be heard again if I can help it. I spent years trashing the otherwise listenable HotH because of that one song.

Man, i like "The Rain Song". It's got that languid, smooshy feel that some of the songs on the list have, except it totally works for me.
