Led Zeppelin - The Rover - could be my fav Zep song ever.

[sickboy79]

This has always been a favorite. Off my favorite album. I just LOVE this song. The tones, groove, playing, drums, etc. It's just SO good. There are SO many amazing Zep tunes but, this could be my favorite. It's easily in my top 5. Just love it. What say you?

Good stuff but if I was going off that album I'd pick Ten Years Gone

 

[rickcard71]

Ten Years Gone is my choice as well.

The Rover has always been one of my favorites as well. LOVE the solo.

Fortunately I don't have to choose a favorite but love hearing and playing "The Rover"

 

[HoboMan]

Yep, always loved that song. As for my favorite, I think I like this one just a bit more:

 

[Mordheim]

The Rover, one of my fav Zep tunes, to be sure.

 

[fitz]

Absolutely! I remember as a kid when I first heard it as a kid and was blown away. Physical Graffiti is probably one of the best rock albums of all time.

 

[Coldacre]

I'll never work out why it was left off "Houses Of The Holy"... it's a far better track than The Crunge

 

[Dave2512]

Love it.

 

[BADHAK]

The Rover is a killer song, off a killer album. The solo and drum intro are especially tasty.

 

[Dave2512]

Sick Again is tasty too.

Hell, I can't figure out why this . . .


. . . was left off Houses of the Holy.

Great album. Still got the vinyl I bought when it came out. Ten Years Gone is my favourite. As a kid I used to jam along for hours to these songs.

 

[hank57]

Thread worthy song for sure. I've always wanted to play it in a band.

 

[Funkhauser]

Love Jimmy's funky riffing in the outro, very cool.

 

[freedom's door]

If i'm not mistaken, they never played it live (other than the intro)- can anyone explain that?


Oh, and just to stir the pot...

 

[magdream]

In my top 5.

 

[DonaldDemon]

Great song and one of the best guitar solos on tape. We play it with my cover band. One of the few songs I get to use my phaser all the way through.
