My Led Zeppelin Rankings 71-80

Now from here on out, I think anything from here until rank 11 could be interchangeable depending on my mood.  There isn't a band out there that can make me groove and move like Led Zeppelin....

80. Candy Store Rock - Presence - A really good groove with Bonzo just amazing on the drums.  Presence is probably Bonham's crown jewel album

79. Fool in the Rain - ITOD - A really funky song that is very catchy hence its continuous play on the radio.  Again Jonesy is featured on the keys on this album.  Plant still hitting those high notes!

78. Royal Orleans - Presence - Now here is some old school Zep with a funky Plant belting out the lyrics...this could have easily been a Physical Graffiti Song

77. Houses of The Holy - PG - This song could clearly be up higher..Plus its a great trivia question: "What album is the song Houses of The Holy on?"

76. Dancing Days - HOH - A tune I'm sure people are surprised to be so low.  Maybe because of the overplay of the radio.  But its "I said its alright..you know its alright..you know its all in my heart!"

75. For Your Life - Presence - Great voice by Percy on this one...and again Bonzo shines..

74. Bonzo's Montreaux - Coda - From that "best of unreleased" album this song showcases both Bonham's amazing ability to drum and Pagey's superb mixing skills.

73. Achilles Last Stand - Presence - As is tradition, each album has an anthem and this is Presence's as it is over 10 minutes long and tells a story.  Bonham kills the drums...

72. Walter's Walk - Coda - Great song as all of them hit it good...could be ranked higher.  Its a crunching rock song, with Bonham smashing, Pagey grooving, Percy dancing and Jonesy rocking

71. Darlene - Coda - Jonesy back on the ivories.  Swear it sounds like Plant says "Double D" 

Stay tuned for more next week!  Rock on!
