My Led Zeppelin Rankings 60-51

Well its time to take us to the top 50...
 -
60. The Ocean - Houses of the Holy - Thunderous beginning with Bonzo and Pagey smashing the notes!  Plant is screeching out the lyrics. 

59. Moby Dick - LZ2 - When can a drum solo be a great track on an album and never get old?  When its played by John Henry Bonham...playing with his hands?  For real!

58. Hats of to (Roy) Harper - LZ3 "Gave my baby a twenty dollar bill, If that don't get her, Sure my shot, shot, shot-gun will"  Southern blues reigns on this one with Pagey on the slide guitar. 

57. Friends - LZ3 - Another great tune from LZ3. A very unique piece with acoustic guitars, bongo drums and Plant's amazing voice belting out the lines.  Jonsey playing very interesting strings.

56. Wearing and Tearing - Coda - What a pure thunderous rock tune by the Gods of Rock themselves.  Jonesy and Bonzo just compliment each other so well and the speed in which they play is amazing.  The highest ranked song from Coda only makes it to 56, but man it rocks!

55. Out On The Tiles - LZ3 - Pagey and Jonesy on the guitar and bass at the end truly make you groove.

54. Celebration Day - LZ3 - More from LZ3, Great beginning with Jimmy Page on the guitar.  Rest of the song just grooves and rocks with some funky sounds. Boy can Plant hit those notes

53. Hey Hey What Can I Do? - Bside - Oddly enough a song that was recorded during LZ3 and was found on the B side of Immigrant Song.  Another great acoustic song from the LZ3 days.

52. Tea For One - Presence - The boys get back to their blues beginnings with this over 9 minute long blues tune.  A slow song of loneliness. You can almost feel Plant's pain with every word.

51. The Wanton Song - Physical Graffiti - If Tea For One was a slow lonely song Wanton kicks you right in the neck.  Bonzo amazing on the skins and Plant whining out the lyrics. 

Next week we break into the top 50 with ranks 50-41.
