    Somebody was mentioning Zeppelin's copyright issues and their penchant for 'borrowing' riffs from other bands, and it reminded me that the guitars on this more-than-obscure Pretty Things song do sound a good bit like those on "Going to California."

    Pretty Things released the album with this one about a year before Zeppelin put out 'IV.' Your mileage might vary. Still, it is quite interesting to compare the two.

    I was wondering what the LZ hardcores think about the recent Stairway/Taurus case?

    I'm so glad they were exonerated. It was such a b.s. case! You can't copyright a chord progression. Other than that, the songs were not a bit similar.

    I hope Jimmy and Robert renewed their friendship by hanging out together. Though at 72, Pagey might be too old to tour.

    Agreed. The case should never have been brought.

    As I was coming of age, bands like Cream, the Eagles, and Led Zeppelin rated lots of airplay on my playlists. Many of their songs bring back happy memories from that distant time.

    My top 10 favourite Zeppelin songs(Warning: Some oddball choices)

    1. Dancing Days
    2. When the Levee Breaks
    3. Hot Dog
    4. Kashmir
    5. Over the Hills and Far Away
    6. Houses of the Holy
    7. Dazed and Confused
    8. All My Love
    9. How Many More Times?
    10. What is and What Should Never Be

    No, those aren't oddball at all.

    Saw Joe Bonamassa play How Many More Times a few nights ago.

    Nothing wrong with having slightly different choices to most. In actual fact, it's cool.

    My own list is on the previous page if anyone's interested, so no real point in re-posting mine. I must admit Hot Dog would not be near my own top 20, but it's all subjective. On the other hand your top ten includes four that I absolutely love - When The Levee Breaks, Kashmir, Over The Hills and Far Away (always my favourite from Houses of the Holy) and Dazed and Confused. I think these are some of the greatest songs of the rock era, not just amongst Led Zeppelin's catalogue. I'm also quite a big fan of What Is And What Should Never Be - I love the contrast between the quieter verses and louder choruses (and also the quieter and louder parts of the guitar solo mid-song). I really like the sentiment and lyrics of All My Love, and it's one of Plant's best late era vocals, the only problem for me is that I'm not wild about the keyboard sound they went for on the track - I think it sounds a bit 'of its time', which is a shame because the song itself is otherwise timeless. If it sounded a bit more 'natural' (unsure that's the right word), like Thank You from LZ II, it would be great.

    OT: Sir Rod Stewart is knighted but Jimmy Page gets a piddling OBE?! Where is justice I ask you.
