Funny how some of the best compliments you can give The Crunge and Friends is how cool it is when the next song comes on.
I'm not a Crunge hater, but I can see why of all the HotH songs packaged in the first box set, that was the only one that got left behind.
Think how great that album would be if Side One ended with "Houses of the Holy". Physical Graffiti's second side would suffer, but that's beside the point.

Page's worst guitar solo on a Zep record.
Fun song though obviously not intended to be taken seriously. Should have been saved for the Honeydrippers EP where it would have fit in.
"Friends" was in my top 10 though! Guitar lick ripped off from CSNY's "Carry On though", albeit in a modal key

I like my folky Zep, just not my super twee Zep
how is Friends a twee song...? it's a blues riff!

Gotta admit I voted for this one. Cuteness aside, it did not deserve to make the record. They could have just added 5 minutes to "Carouselambra" instead.
― grandavis, Tuesday, 23 August 2011 18:01 (twelve years ago) link
"Hot Dog", that is
― grandavis, Tuesday, 23 August 2011 18:02 (twelve years ago) link
yep, noted this on the noms thread. it's pitiful.

#1 votes being the tiebreaker between this and "Hot Dog," obv
― L.P. Hovercraft (WmC), Tuesday, 23 August 2011 18:07 (twelve years ago) link
Was just listening to it specifically for the solo. A lot of his are rubbish imo - Over The Hills And Far Away runs into the sand horribly in the third quarter, and in that 50s song that was posted on the voting thread yesterday he's such a momentum-killer. Like I say, the weak link.
― Ismael Klata, Tuesday, 23 August 2011 18:08 (twelve years ago) link
Would have thought "Hot Dog" would vie for top 3 most hated, but I guess it is so throw-away that it doesn't rankle like what I imagine some of the final most hateds will, like you gotta have more at stake to truly hate something.
― grandavis, Tuesday, 23 August 2011 18:08 (twelve years ago) link
Moby Dick as done by a full band is great. 45 minute drum solos not so much.
― it's a meme i made and i like (Steve Shasta), Tuesday, 23 August 2011 18:08 (twelve years ago) link
Moby Dick blatantly only exists to give the other three a half-hour's break to get up to gawd know what backstage.

Better than "Bonzo's Montreux"
i did not hatevote for Moby Dick but I probably could/should've...
I think watching Bonham do it on the recent live DVD has reconciled me tot the idea that it may not have been a horrible idea; still helps to sink II though

i voted for moby dick. not a big fan of most drum solos.
― fela cudi (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 23 August 2011 18:12 (twelve years ago) link
"Bonzo's Montreux" is fucking cool IMO. Especially as a tacked on track from a cobbled together record. It's like the Art of Noise before there was the Art of Noise.
― grandavis, Tuesday, 23 August 2011 18:12 (twelve years ago) link
Drum solo aside the guitar riff in Moby Dick is just fucking massive. Haters gonna hate, I guess.
― Ad hom . . . in em's cock? (Phil D.), Tuesday, 23 August 2011 18:12 (twelve years ago) link
If "Moby Dick" had a drum solo like Edgar Winter Group's "Frankenstein" (i.e., shorter) then it would be awesome: great riff and great Page guitar fills in the second iteration of the riff.

xps The Kinks' 'You Really Got Me' is Page as well I believe - another terrible solo imo. He's good at riffs though.
― Ismael Klata, Tuesday, 23 August 2011 18:20 (twelve years ago) link
Otoh Stairway and Achilles are as good as solos get.
― Ismael Klata, Tuesday, 23 August 2011 18:22 (twelve years ago) link
The Kinks' 'You Really Got Me' is Page as well I believe
thought this had been pretty well refuted
also that solo is awesome wtf

Nope.
― L.P. Hovercraft (WmC), Tuesday, 23 August 2011 18:23 (twelve years ago) link
My favorite thing about the "Stairway" solo is that on his last tour, Zappa covered that song and arranged Page's solo for the horn section to play.
― L.P. Hovercraft (WmC), Tuesday, 23 August 2011 18:24 (twelve years ago) link
"You Really Got Me" one of the all-time great solos, feeling trumps technique x1000

Liked this song as a teenager. Listening to the live version on Song Remains The Same kind of soured me on it.

Inspired by this poll, I tried tuning in to Song Remains The Same on NWI last night... Not a good idea... the LP versions are so much better with the exception of Dazed And Confused which I really was ~feeling~, not sure if it was my cold meds or not.

I love the If You're Going to San Francisco bit, but I'd never be able to find it again offhand and no way am I sitting through the whole thing.
― Ismael Klata, Tuesday, 23 August 2011 18:47 (twelve years ago) link
the extended new version of song remains the same is pretty great, lots of the best stuff was omitted on the original release
― fela cudi (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 23 August 2011 18:48 (twelve years ago) link
"Whole Lotta Love"--no! I hate to come on like grandpa here, but hearing it on Top 40 circa '70-71 was some kind of experience.

xpost Except of course iirc the Tele was the first call guitar for the first two albums, and obv. he used it occasionally after, and it sounds great, but maybe he was just able to give it some extra oomph in the studio and needed to go Les Paul live?
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 13 September 2018 14:43 (five years ago) link
Yeah, I think it was mainly for live performance. It's funny seeing Page with a Fender Strat at Knebworth; a little window into what New Wave Zep might have been.

Check out the version of TSRtS on LZ DVD. It's an easter egg on one of the menu screens, shot with fan footage from what looks like a theater balcony. Sets the place on fire.
