The Rain Song is the best LZ song.

It just is......

I dunno...I think this is my favorite. I almost always make Mike L play this when I visit!

My favorite is this 'song of hope'...and I would suspect it is the best known LZ song...

Johnny Vinyl · Apr 25, 2014

Some nice secondary choices guys! Haha!

too many great songs to just pick one.

I agree - Rain Song is my fav. I've never heard another song from any band with that mood/vibe. It's 100% unique.

That is a very close second!

Plenty of great songs indeed, but The Rain Song is a special song to these ears and I have no hesitation in proclaiming its wonderfulness above the others.

What do they say in that movie; "I love you man!

Does anyone know why The Rain Song wasn't included on either the Mothership boxset or the Celebration Day boxset?

By the way, that "no quarter" video live in Marrakesh is to die for. Never get enough of playing "Four Sticks" really loud and wait for the rhythm section to kick in. This DVD is proof artistic merit of a recording trumps sound and video) quality any day of the week.

Because Led Zep thought it was the worst song they had ever written.

The mood of the song is distinctly melancholic.

Goes to show that even they were wrong at times!

I'm just yanking your chain John. I have no idea why it was left off those collections.

I know you were.....it's a mystery to me. It's ok though, my HOTH album plays top-notch.

And I think we can expect more of the same........

mep · Apr 25, 2014

Trust me, we better grab up all of the LPs while we can that are/were actually made from the original master tapes and not a digital copy of the master tapes.

Johnny Vinyl · Apr 25, 2014

I just went through all of my LP's and I'm happy with the condition of them, so I won't be buying into the new ones. All of mine are first or second press Canadian copies and are quite favourably looked upon from what I've read. The Classic versions are out of my reach, but I'm okay with that.

This thread inspired me to play my Classic version of HOTH and I have to say this is one LP that I'd rather listen to in the car or a crappy system than my main rig - the recording quality is terrible.

The Rain Song is the best LZ song.
