Can't wait to see his upcoming tour!

Favorite Led Zeppelin Song:

Favorite Robert Plant

[CBGLuthier]

1. My favorite song is by Anne Bredon but they did take credit for it.

[GoCubsGo]

2. I can't do it.

Too difficult to choose a favorite. The only song I don't care for is "Stairway to Heaven." It's right behind "Freebird" in the "overplayed to the point where I can't stand to listen to it" department.

[LynneSin]

3. Robert Plant would appreciate that answer

He hated Stairway to Heaven too. I'm not a keen fan either. It's the Justin Bieber of Led Zeppelin songs

[shenmue]

4. It varies

Could be almost anything.

[LynneSin]

5. What do you want to listen to right now that was done by some version of Robert Plant/Led Zeppelin

And that'll be your answer

[shenmue]

6. Good Times, Bad Times

I'll go with that.

[LynneSin]

7. One of the greatest song #1, side #1 on a debut album EVER

True Story - this song was never performed live until the O2 concert in 2007.

14. Oh, a killer song shenmue.

The first minute or so is so dramatic & heavy!

[cyberswede]

8. Achilles Last Stand

Could be a different favorite tomorrow, though.

15. John Bonham at his best!

[melman]

9. Ten Years Gone

[lovemydog]

16. I've read Robert wrote it for his wife

and their (at the time) ten-year marriage. What a love song.

I saw The Black Crowes & Jimmy Page play it and there was a couple holding hands, hugging. So cool.

17. Poetic:

Then as it was, then again it will be
An' though the course may change sometimes
Rivers always reach the sea
Flyin' skies of fortune, each have separate ways
On the wings of maybe, downy birds of prey
Kind of makes me feel sometimes, didn't have to go
But as the eagle leaves the nest, it's got so far to go

Changes fill my time, baby, that's alright with me
In the midst I think of you, and how it used to be

Did you ever really need somebody, and really need 'em bad
Did you ever really want somebody, the best stuff you ever had
Do you ever remember me, baby, did it feel so good
'Cause it was just the first time, and you knew you would

Do the eyes not sparkle, senses goin' keen
Takes me a love for 'long the way, to see her feathers preen
Kind of makes makes me feel sometimes, didn't have to go
We are eagles of one nest, the nest is in our soul

Vixen in my dreams, with great surprise to me
Never thought I'd see your face the way it used to be
Oh darlin', oh darlin'

ooooh
oh darlin'
'ey yeaaah
oh darlin'

I'm never gonna leave ya. I'm never gonna leaa-eaave ya
ten years gone
ten years gone, holdin' on, ten years gone
ten years gone, holdin' on, ten years gone

10. Burning Down One Side

[Doc_Technical]

11. Led Zep- "That's the Way"

[lovemydog]

13. A beautiful track that never gets radio airplay.

There's hidden gems like this on every zep album!

[lovemydog]

12. Big Log

A trucker keeps a log to record his/her miles and what's carried. Maybe this is a log of his travels.

My love is in league with the freeway
Its passion will rise as the cities fly by
And the tail lights dissolve in the coming of night
And the questions and thousands take flight

My love is miles in awaiting
The eyes that just stare and the glance at the clock
In the secret that burns and the pain that won't stop
And it's fueled with the years

Leading me on
Leading me down the road
Driving me on
Driving me down the road

My love is exceeding and women
Red eyed and fevered with the hum of the miles
Distance and longing and my thoughts do collide
Should I rest for a while and decide

Your love is cradled in knowing
Eyes in the mirror still expecting their prey
Sensing too well when the journey is done
There is no turning back
On the run

My love is in league
With the freeway
Oh with the freeway
And the coming of the night time
My love is in league with the freeway

This is why they were put on this earth.
