    Rick Beato had a great video about Stairway and Taurus and spoiler Zeppelin didn’t steal it from Taurus. Because if they stole it then so did Taurus. There’s plenty of music that predates both songs that uses that Lydian scale. Music is meant to be shared.

    Years ago I was at my local record store. The store owner myself in a couple other guys were standing around talking music. When this kid comes up and says excuse me I'm trying to get into Led Zeppelin do they have any Greatest Hits albums. We all laughed and the owner said start with Zeppelin 1 the kid asked is that a greatest hits album. The owner told him they're all Greatest Hits albums

    Hello from Ireland Dylan! Just a little more info for you to think about - Bert Jansch ( pron Yansch) did not write black water side either! The melody is based on a trad Irish tune called 'she moved through the fair' which Jansch borrowed and modified for his own use. Page did the same thing and most importantly- this was just the done thing back then. Same with a lot of blues licks etc - most was considered to be in the public domain. Of course it doesn't mean you can rip stuff off! But a lot of stuff was being appropriated by a lot of artists- the stones Bob Dylan etc. It was what the old blues masters themselves did back in the day. If you make something completely different as in make it your own - I don't mind at all! Great channel by the way Dylan.

I was the first guy on my block to buy LZ1 when it came out and there literally was a lineup outside my door to come in and hear it so it has special meaning to me. I saw LZ at a relatively small venue in Toronto in 1969 just when LZII was coming out so it also has a high personal ranking. Over the years, Physical Graffiti has become my most go to LZ album... thanks for doing this...Glen Kellaway

    Dude, from one Zeppelin loyalist to another, I totally agree with the list. Mine is pretty much the same. I can debate myself whether or not Physical Graffiti or Zeppelin II is the best. But it’s II in my opinion. It put them on the map and showed how dominant they were with only the second record. But two of my top five Zeppelin songs are on Physical Graffiti : Houses Of The Holy and the underrated and amazing The Rover. And Custard Pie is wicked too. It’s a perfect album.

    @PittMetsZep Рік тому

    Appreciate the video! This is an impossible task, and I agree with the idea that there is no 'worst' Zep album. It's more like good/better/best!
    9. Coda (fair comments that it's not really a true Zep album)
    8. In Through The Out Door - Their mellowest effort as Robert and JPJ took the reins at that time, while Jimmy was going through "stuff".
    7. Presence - A lot of great stuff here, obviously, but just not quite as good as others below. Quintessential mid-70's Zeppelin. Good luck understanding all the lyrics in this one. They had to be stoned when they recorded it, LOL!
    6. Houses of the Holy - While I like all the songs here, I just don't think tunes like "D'yer Mak'er", "Dancing Days", and "The Crunge" are up there with their best work.
    5. Zep III - "Since I've Been Loving You" is one of my all-time favorite Zep songs, if not one of my all-time favorites, period. "Tangerine" is so underrated, and so is the album to an extent. Critics didn't like it because it is uneven - and it is, as the band was now at a point of taking risks and taking their music in new directions. And for what it's worth, this album includes what I consider to be their worst song: "Hats Off to (Roy) Harper".
    4. Zep I - The fact that so many of these songs were uncredited is a significant blemish for Jimmy and the band. What they did was wrong. That said, nobody can deny the greatness of what Zeppelin did here. They transformed blues songs like "Dazed and Confused", "You Shook Me", and "Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You" into epic rock masterpieces. Next to Zep IV, I'd say this one is the most consistent set from beginning to end. And, man, does an album's final track get any better than "How Many More Times"?
    3. Zep II - The Brown Bomber! I can't fault anyone for putting this one or the next two at the top of their list. This is just another masterpiece with every song being a classic. Of course, the same comments about the blues tracks on Zep I apply to "Whole Lotta Love", also.
    2. Physical Graffiti - If they had stopped at just Side 1 & 2 it might be #1 for me. I can't think of a string of three songs on any album ever better than "Houses of the Holy", "Trampled Underfoot", and arguably their best song (the band thought so), "Kashmir". Sides 3 & 4, while also still having a lot of great material, just isn't as strong as the first half, and for that reason I don't have it as #1.
    1. Zep IV - I think people have a tendency to over-analyze things over time. We want to convince ourselves that what we know to be the best isn't anymore. But this is still their masterpiece and defining moment. While Zep III showcased their incredible range, as mentioned above, it was uneven/inconsistent. On Zep IV it all comes together perfectly. Every single song is among the greatest in the history of rock. And the flow from one track to the next is perfection, as is the entire album.
    Btw, I appreciated your fair comments about the beginning of Stairway. Jimmy has acknowledged that he was familiar with "Taurus" and, let's say, he tweaked it for the intro. But the rest of the song is all Zeppelin. I don't think it's accurate for anyone to say "Stairway" was stolen from Spirit's "Taurus".

  • @slamjackson2137
    @slamjackson2137 2 роки тому +1

    ‘In Through The Out Door’ has shot up high on my list over the years simply because the vibe just feels so much more genuine and humbled. The early records are very much trying to impress you, which they DO, but frankly the schtick gets old after a while.
    Music is a form of storytelling, and when that story is mostly “Look how awesome I am”, ya know, there really isn’t much substance there after a while. I used to worship Zep just like the rest of us, but once the hero worship and pleasure trip fades you’re left looking at a band who’s goal was to be the greatest, and not much more. Boy, did they accomplish that on some level, but in the end Bonham said he wanted to quit drums because he was no longer the greatest, so what does that tell you? Zeppelin’s a weird realm for me, and they’re no doubt great, but the hero worship is off the map, and the fandom can be toxic, drones of zombies regurgitating that they’re objectively the greatest, as if there even is such a thing. It’s just weird, and all the occult stuff doesn’t help lol. I’m sure some people will be offended by this for whatever reason but it is what it is.

    There really is no right or wrong list with Zeppelin's albums. I was fortunate enough to start from the beginning with their 1st album and subsequently bought every album as they were released thru the years. That in itself is amazing, because I have found with a lot of bands even when they are still together, you can 'outgrow' a band; not so with Zeppelin. My biggest surprise is how there are people out there who say they never liked LZ, which still amazes me! But as to my top list, you have to understand, after 50 years, your opinion changes- for many years when I was young I always said LZ's 1st was my all time best album. But today, I have Houses of the Holy as my favorite, followed by their 1st & then their 2nd.

    2. Physical Graffiti
    The best double album of all times. Some say there are filler tracks on side 4, well that's just because side 3 is so awesome.

Their are good songs on Coda. Didn't like it till later . The reissue has a lot on it...Traveling riverside blues, Hey hey and other gems on it. I do understand why people don't get it their alot there and it really dont mix well or shall I said flow well together. Presence is Page at his best playing. You got to appreciate this as a guitar player. I could ramble on all day about zeppelin but it time for me to go.

    A lot of this album ranking lies on a person’s own preference, from day to day. Now I would say my favorite album is Zep III, but what do I find myself listening to the most? Houses of the Holy. And with Coda, if they had not released it, we may never have heard Wearing and Tearing, Ozone Baby, or any of the other songs on that album for years. Part compilation? Yes, but if it’s never been released before, still new to us.

    That Spirit song is actually not “dead on” it’s just the same chord right at the beginning for about 5 seconds. A similar chord or chords in an intro does not make a song, and Stairway is an entirely different song than the Spirit tune. You cannot copywrite a chord. Just sayin’. Also, just my opinion, and the court’s 3 times now. Funny enough, the Spirit song Taurus’ intro leans heavily on an early classical piece, the name escapes me at the moment, but being inspired and writing something new is ok in my book. Spirit is a great band by the way, highly unappreciated. Agree with your ratings though, although the top 4 could change places at any given time, but for me are always the top four! Edit: Wow, 😂, didn’t realize this was 2 years old, ha ha ha!

  • @richard127gm

    Taurus and Stairway are nothing alike in general, apart from a "similar" intro. Even that allegedly stolen phrasing isn't identical. Apart from anything else there is a part in Taurus that is pretty much identical to Blackbird by the Beatles. It's actually more similar than the supposed similarity of the two intros. All musicians are influenced by what they hear from other writers. Otherwise, I agree with most of your choices. However, you have to take into account the importance and influence of such major albums. I would therefore put LZ 1 much nearer to the top of the list, along with LZ II. III, IV, HOtH and Graffitti were great albums but much less important as influential releases. IMO. Enjoyed the video though. Thanks.

I need no further proof than that little thing he played during a solo in Dazed. Just Sayin....
