Well, as you all know now, the Led Zeppelin reunion is happening, and if you’re one of the lucky 18,000 who will make it to the O2 Arena in London on 26 November (out of the er, 20 million trying to get on the website to register for tix) you’ll obviously ALL be keen to hear your favourites.
Earlier on NME.COM, we compiled your votes and this was the set which you chose:
'Rock And Roll'
'The Immigrant Song'
'That's The Way'
'Dazed & Confused'
'Tangerine'
'Communication Breakdown'
'Black Dog'
'The Battle Of Evermore'
'When The Levee Breaks'
'Kashmir'
'In My Time Of Dying'
'Achilles' Last Stand'
'Since I've Been Loving You'
'Misty Mountain Hop'
'Whole Lotta Love'
'Stairway To Heaven'
Now, we reckon that’s pretty good, but we’re still arguing about it in the office. This writer, for instance, is disgusted by the absence of ‘Trampled Under Foot’, ‘Heartbreaker’ and ‘Going To California’ while Led Zep and all-round 'big boy shit' Seventies rock fanatic Hamish MacBain was disgusted by the absence of ‘Down By The Seaside’.
Our albums ed Julian Marshall made a strong claim for ‘Going To California’ too, while also giving a thumbs-up to ‘Bron-Y-Aur-Stomp’, so it would seem he goes for the band’s more sensitive side.
Tim Chester went for ‘Heartbreaker’, ‘Ramble On’, and drum lover that he is, ‘Moby Dick’, which when played live in the band’s pomp, stretched to over 20 minutes, complete with drum solo.
Dan Silver opted for ‘What Is And What Should Never Be’, James McMahon went all tender on us with a request for ‘All My Love’ while our work experience boy Jon Bye made a case for the FILTHY ‘The Lemon Song’.
And, finally, Elizabeth Curran, who joined me in writing a Led Zep feature for the mag next week, gave me a huge list which included the likes of ‘Custard Pie’, ‘The Song Remains The Same’, ‘Out On The Tiles’ and ‘How Many More Times’.
And she went for ‘Trampled Under Foot’ too. Come on lads, play it, you know you want to.
Meanwhile, NME.COM's Anthony 'Jimmy Page' Thornton commented that he's like to hear 'Bron-Y-Aur' "because I can play it, but I want to see it done properly".
Hmm...
So what do YOU think? Please let us know.
