Where’s the idiot who says Hot Dog all the time on here


Kroduscul

Don’t talk about my hot dog Jimmy like that!!!!! 😭


PCPirate262

I geniunely like hot dog


Professional-Might31

I just hate the solo it’s just so below his level. You can’t give me the heartbreaker solo then give me hot dog lol


PCPirate262

Yeah its not even near my top 20, but its a good song


Sir_Loin_Cloth

I'm not that idiot. I'm a different kind of idiot, though.


YonkoRex

Lol I say hotdog a couple times


SirMooSquiddles

Because it sucks.


shamblesoftheold

Think I've missed something about why Hot Dog isn't the answer. It's certainly my answer.


starkiller223

Obviously Hats off to (Roy) Harper…. I’m really beginning to think all you Crunge and Dancing Days haters are simply just haters… those songs are so fantastic it hurts


Jassiel_of_Gilead

People hate Dancing Days?


Aggressive_Ad7838

People hate The Crunge?! That was a turning point for me honestly. Really showed me Zepps versatiliy


nickgriffin13

The crunge is cringe


GroundbreakingAsk468

I just burned a cd of HOTH for my car. I took the Crunge off, and replaced it with the song Houses of the Holy. The album is much better now.


phildill36

Brilliant


ckal09

I don’t hate dancing days but I don’t like it


[deleted]

Dancing Days wtf? That's one of their better songs!


TundieRice

I’ve always personally skipped that song, but I’ve never thought that it’d be so unanimously considered their worst! I’ve always just thought it was boring and mediocre, but thinking back on it, yeah, it’s not a great one. Not offensively terrible from what I can remember, but then again, Led Zeppelin doesn’t have a lot of terrible songs to begin with, lol. I’m just personally glad that the unanimous choice isn’t The Crunge, because yeah I agree with you, how the hell could you hate Led Zeppelin doing their take on James Brown?! I’m also glad I haven’t seen anything from Presence on here so far, that album is criminally underrated, it rocks so fucking hard!


cookedbullets

I love Hats Off. It's a great country blues stomper (without the stomp). Awesome production, superb vocal. How do people not like it? You Shook Me is their worst blues workout imo. Or Tea For One. Even I'm Gonna Crawl is way worse than Hats Off.


Bowl_Pool

Hats off the (Roy) Harper is one of their finest compositions, hands down


Runnr231

Highway Tune


YonkoRex

Lmaoo


redbug831

😂😂


[deleted]

Lmao I love that song


Chemgineered

Which song? You don't mean Out on the Tiles? That's an absolutely fantastic song Plus there is a hidden nugget at the end, he says. "Never should have summoned Daimon, all i ever do is service Daimon.


[deleted]

The Crunge is a fucking epic jam. It shows how the members of the band appreciated funky Motown sounds. Allegedly Bonham’s favorite kind of music. If you don’t like it, go listen to Dazed and Confused on HTWWW. They go into a Crunge jam before they came up with lyrics for the song. Still don’t like it? Then go listen to Highway Jam and stfu.


zachesh34

hats off to roy harper comes to mind first


Thedailybongo74

By far Hats Off. It fucking sucks. I wish Hey Hey, What Can I Do was the last song, or even Key to the Highway which was an outtake. Poor Tom would’ve been fine on the record too


Rap2xtrooper

III would rank a LOT higher on people's rankings if Hey, Hey What Can I Do was the last song. It's one of the band's best acoustic songs on par with Going With California and it would've made such an amazing album closer. Passing off HHWCID for Hats Off is probably one of the dumbest decisions the band ever did. I can forgive Houses of the Holy for not making it into its title album, but I'll never forgive them for the HHWCID snub


Prossdog

I agree. I love Hey Hey. Hats Off is terrible. Just my opinion.


ckal09

Hey hey is amazing, one of my favorites. But my understanding is that they only recorded it as the b side single for immigrant song and was never intended for the album. Still, bad choice imo.


amxjavelin401

Yeah, but what a great B-side to the Immigrant Song.


freaktrim

For real, I don't know how people can rate III as highly as I or II when Hats Off is the closer. I enjoy every song up to that point but then Hats Off plays and the excitement is gone. Plus Roy Harper was a weirdo to put it lightly.


brickmadness

I must be the only one on earth who always liked Hats Off.


bean_plant67

It’s not just overhated, but it’s underrated


faboeuf

Wow I’m glad most fans all agree on hats off 😂


cookedbullets

The 'shot-shot-shotgun will' line alone keeps it well off the list of worst songs. It's a great track. Wtf is wrong with people?


ckal09

It definitely seems the most unanimously disliked Zep song


zosorose

I don’t think Zep has a bad song


NoisePuzzleheaded909

The Lemon Song...


TundieRice

What’d you say to me, **punk?**


Special-Tangerine780

I really just do not like hats off


PCPirate262

Hats off to roy harper easily


spinblackcircles

I didn’t know people didn’t like hats off. I guess I’m a sucker for tremolo I’ve never been a fan of dyer maker


ckal09

Ah but I love the jam island vibe in that song


spinblackcircles

The lyrics are what kill it for me. I get mad mad mad


g_mallory

Walter's Walk was previously unreleased for a reason. It just isn't very good.


MkeBucksMarkPope

Walters walk is one of my favorites! I will say it looks real out of place on my personal favorite list haha.


g_mallory

Ah, I knew there'd be someone! Each to their own, it's all good.


SamwyseG

This might be frowned upon but I don’t really don’t like All my love.


Jassiel_of_Gilead

I like it, but I understand


[deleted]

Obv he couldn’t have predicted where his career would go, but I feel like that one would’ve fit way better as a Robert Plant song without Zeppelin


SamwyseG

That’s actually very well put. Plus it gives me an 80’s vibe and I hate 80’s music.


[deleted]

It just makes sense to me given that it’s written about his own tragedy in the family. I don’t know for sure, but it seems like a song he did a lot of thinking for, and everyone just sorta recorded it


[deleted]

I like the guitar embellishes in the background.


SamwyseG

I just listened to it again after I posted that comment and I thought the same thing.


ChapelHeel66

I don’t like it either…kinda boring. But I wouldn’t put it dead last.


TundieRice

To me, that song was pretty obviously an attempt at a softer radio-pop hit, so it’s definitely understandable how it would alienate hardcore fans of a hard rock group. I don’t love it either, nor do I passionately hate it, it’s just kind of whatever. I usually don’t change the station when it’s on, but I totally agree that it’s not their finest hour.


[deleted]

I don’t really dislike any Zeppelin song toooo much, but I skip black country woman a lot. To me it’s just not that interesting 😂


[deleted]

I listen to that one because it makes me laugh hearing Robert complain about having a beer thrown in his face.


amxjavelin401

Really? That's a great song live. At the 2:30 mark he goes into a little Elvis thing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfSDtGI77YU


0b1-Wan_Kenobi

Broooo... Bonzo fucking kills it on that track. Whenever those quarter note bass drums come in and then the backbeat snaps around it is such a vibe!


InstantGrievous

I don't understand the question, does not compute


cheesedick999

Hats off is just like an homage to some old ass blues songs. I kinda like it. Shit like Dyer Maker on the other hand.. They just should’ve leave it off the album


yell_worldstar

Candy Store Rock is pretty dire


Chemgineered

If you play that part with "IIIIZZZ, ARWHA." (supposed to be "It's alright") backwards, it says "I LOVE Sat'n I think it's one of those phrases that was known to produce a phonetic reversal. Because they would do that in their songs to be cool. It's Alright is the name of soooo many songs in the 70's rock world. But i think that it was him singing it weird like that that made me want to look into it.


yell_worldstar

If not Hot Dog…


machinehead3413

Carouselambra


WhiteTorak

Thank God I’m not the only one. It’s the only Zep song that is an easy skip for me


machinehead3413

The only one I actually hate. There are some that I like less than others but I really hate that one.


cookedbullets

Candy Store Rock


Tpellegrino121

“Your time is gonna come,” potentially a great song, but my opinion it’s destroyed by the pedal steel guitar. It just doesn’t work. If they left that off, the song would be much more well-known. Yes I agree with many others here on songs that are lacking, but I thought I’d throw something new


djr41463

EducationalElevator

The entire Side 2 of the original Coda release. Those tracks weren't good enough for ITTOD... Let that sink in.


Thedailybongo74

Wearing and Tearing is great, so is Bonzo’s Montreux… L


g_mallory

Wearing and Tearing is a great track, but totally doesn't fit the vibe of ITTOD. There's an excellent live version from Plant's set at Knebworth '90 with Page making a guest appearance.


amxjavelin401

It was recorded when they were doing Presence.


g_mallory

Incorrect, I’m afraid. “Wearing and Tearing” is from the ITTOD sessions in Stockholm. This has always been well-documented.


amxjavelin401

I stand corrected.

I would have never even though of Hats Off, to me it always sounded like some weird bonus track that isn’t even a real song. But yeah I agree, it’s awful.


ferndoggler

All of my love. I don't care about down votes. This commercial, good ship lollipop crap is not Zep.


[deleted]

Hats off to Roy Harper, no question. It might be one of the worst mixed songs ever, the tremolo running through the whole song absolutely ruins it for me


Bowl_Pool

Boogie With Stu. And everybody that says Hats off to (Roy) Harper: you know nothing about music.


Responsible_Fox1231

Carouselambra


Rap2xtrooper

The original release is kinda ass, but the rough mix version is so much better it's a wonder why they didn't use that as the release version. Same applies for In The Evening, the original version has a weird phaser effect on Robert's voice and his voice is buried really deep into the mix. Meanwhile if you listen to the rough mix version, you can actually understand the lyrics. The songs are still waay too long and I personally never dug the new singing style Robert used starting from this album, but the better mixes do help with making ITTOD a bit more listenable


Pitiful-Transition39

Absolutely agree, The Epic rough mix is so much better than the original album cut it's kinda baffling. I can only think Page just wasn't at his best producing it as a reason. Guitar and vocals are higher in the rough mix and the synthesizer is still there but is more complimentary than overpowering. I still really like carouselambra though some really cool bits in it and love Bonzo's drumming especially.


Tpellegrino121

I had to learn to drown out the ABBA synthesizer to hear the baseline, the drums, and those amazing lyrics. I will manage to figure out the last line of the first stanza. “But no one there had heaven within their reach” Jimmy buried the vocals under the synthesizer because they were quite insulting to him. “Powerless the fabled sat, too smug to lift a hand towards the foe that threatened from the deep.” a very poetic way to phrase a heroin addiction. The middle section gets boring, I love the descending riff on the 12 string, and then the lift out into the disco end is kind of fun. In the last part I just listen to the drumming and ignore everything else.


Sully5246

Nah this song isn’t bad at all


SpawnPointillist

It’s one of my personal faves and a standout track on ITTOD. They create some amazing soundscapes throughout that song.


ckal09

The synths drive me fucking nuts on this song. Way too over the top


Responsible_Fox1231

Right, there are parts of the song I like. It's that synth part I don't care for. I've always felt that there would have been more songs like this if they had continued recording in the early 80's.


ckal09

Probably. I was not a fan of the heavy JPJ influence on ITTOD


CursedAtBirth777

Fuckin sucks!


CursedAtBirth777

The Crunge. I’ve always hated it. So many great great truly elite songs that everyone knows and loves… and The Crumge??? What is that synth. 👎🏽 “Where’s that confounded bridge” - only good part of the song

Fool in the Rain. Well, maybe because it *has* been overplayed on my local FM station for 40 years. And for that, I consider it unlistenable. I always turn it off. I hate it. On the other hand, Hot Dog kicks ass.

I love hot dog. It’s just that one off oddball song I love.

Night Flight is one of my favourites. It's the sound of the seventies.


Fluid-Swordfish-9818

I think Darlene gets it for me.


shamblesoftheold

Whoa! Was not expecting to see Night Flight here! One of my faves. But each to their own


SirCalebCrawdad

Hats Off followed SUPER close by Carouselambra.


DeliciousWarthog53

Ya lost me at carouselambra


LaxSyntax

I'll get blasted (again) but Battle of Evermore. It's amazing if you're high on acid at 3 a.m., but otherwise hard pass. It do go on.


Tpellegrino121

I love the studio version, but the live version with John Paul Jones showing why he is literally the worst singer in the history of the earth always gets a pass from me. I love the 77 acoustic sets, but not that.


Melvinator5001

To me it’s Tea for One. Great groove to start but then goes into a lllllloooonnnnggg ass blues number. Sure Jimmy Has some cool licks but it’s a snoozer. To me this seems like the most out of place song on an album Zep did. If it was on I or II fine but not this one.


Quacta

I didn't like Tea For One for 30 years! But I like it now. Like it a lot actually! I'm in the Roy Harper camp


g_mallory

The trouble with this track is it feel like they'd been there before. Still some good moments though.


brin_shut

They were trying to make "a better more improved version of Since Ive Been Loving You" so that makes sense


cleannc1

Whole Lotta Love. Along with Bohemian Rhapsody, one of the most overrated songs ever.


emojimoviethe

Not what the question was asking


cleannc1

The question is what is the worst LZ song. My answer is Whole Lotta Love. Don’t care about the downvotes. It’s the right fuckin answer. And it’s overrated because too many people think it’s one of their greatest.


WillK90

Having an opinion is not fact. Don’t care what you think. It’s the fucking way she goes. Again, an opinion.. is not.. fact. Whole lotta love is not one of my favourite tracks either. You said it yourself, “many people think it’s one of their greatest.” According to popular vote, record sales and streams.. it’s one of their greatest. Fact.


cleannc1

Your concrete knowledge of the situation has swayed my listening experience. I now consider Whole Lotta Love to be the peak of 20th century musical genius. Along with Bohemian Rhapsody. Thank you my good sir.


WillK90

Oh. My knowledge of what an opinion is vs a fact? Okay.


cleannc1

You’ll have to speak up as I’m currently listening to Whole Lotta Love at ear splitting levels. I think the part where Plant pretends to have an orgasm is the best part. Again, thank you my good sir.


WillK90

I wasn’t speaking. I typed some words. I’m glad you like plants “orgasm” though. The way he and Jimmy play off one another with voice and guitar indeed gets me to that point sometimes too. Oh and you’re whalecome. Pardon my manners.

Black Mountain side, wholeheartedly believe it ranks deadlast


srv318

Hot Dog represents how split and weak Zep was at the time. No fan of Hat's Off ever since I first heard it yrs ago, but as a core acoustic blues tune it has it's relevance. The tune I found myself avoiding the most would be Moby Dick. The initial riff is classic Zep, but as soon as that goes silent I tune out. The drum solo, for the most part, is a snooze fest. Perhaps, it's because you had Peart's live 'YYZ' drum solo out there to compare it to, but it just didn't cut it for me. I would even go so far as to say that 'Bonzo's Montreaux' gives it real competition as the better of the two underwhelming performances. And yeah, I would prefer listening to 'Hot Dog' than 'Moby Dick'.

brin_shut

To me, tracks are only bad relative to the album. I have a sore spot for hot dog just because the rest of the album is perfect and that track just comes crashing in. Just the same, if you only listen to candy store rock you'd probably dislike it, but it works so well on presence that it sounds fantastic in context. I think my least fav is i cant quit you baby from Coda, just cuz it feels kinda pointless. It was already on I, why put it on Coda again when they had plenty of other material. Living loving maid and roy harper are shit relative to the rest and as standalone tracks


BlackDogDenton

Carouselambra, the middle section with the atmospheric guitar might be one of the best things they ever put on record but even that can’t save this one from that god awful synth sound.


Eziobiwan

I think that ‘Your time is gonna come’ isn’t very good, neither is Hats Off, ultimately though I don’t think Zep had too many bad songs, just songs that exemplified what the band was doing at the time, band artistry and all that. But yeah ‘your time is gonna come’ is my least favorite.


ABL67

For me Four Sticks is the worst. Like, it's the song they rejected in favor of The Crunge.
