Thats The Way. I never see it mentioned, or if I do it is negatively, but I enjoy the hell outta that song (especially followed by Bron y aur Stomp afterwards as a great duo). I love the melancholy feel of it and the meandering slide guitar on top. It is also a really fun one to play on the guitar, albeit annoying to get into the alternate tuning.
Thats The Way has always reminded me of Pillow of Winds by pink floyd, both in the melancholy feel and layered acoustic guitars, and that they are both overlooked or disliked by fans.
Yeah, I always thought that song was similar to Pillow of Winds too actually. I love those kind of songs, so relaxing to listen to, especially when you're just chilling outside in the Sun
They were doing it on the 77 tour in a blues set towards the open, if I remember right:
Song Remains the Same/The Rover (cut short-no Robert)/Celebration Day/Since I've Been Loving You/Nobody's Fault But Mine/In My Time Of Dying.
And I wish I'd died right there.
I know there are many Zep fans that were disappointed in the shift in music in the time frame when ‘In through the out door’ came out.
No one started their transition better than Led Zeppelin, I believe the album was an incredible shift, and tragically we did not get to see where else they could go with implementing the synthesizer, I believe it would have been amazing.
“In an interview he gave to rock journalist Cameron Crowe, Plant stated that this song was one of Led Zeppelin's "finest moments". Similarly, Page has stated that this is his personal favourite track on Physical Graffiti.” Liner notes by Cameron Crowe for The Complete Studio Recordings.
I remember reading an article in Guitar World or a similar magazine years ago asking a bunch of famous musicians their favorite Zep song and In the Light got a lot of love, which made me feel good considering it never got much radio play.
Bright lights, almost blindinnng. Saw Robert with Alison in June and they interjected the string part from friends into gallows pole with Alison playing it on the violin. As a 28 year old it brought tears to my eyes lol
The Rover for sure. Heard Robert Plant in an interview years ago say that, "Zeppelin is known for Stairway, but I would rather people think of The Rover instead." Not word for word, but that was his point. I was hooked on The Rover as soon as I got home from the record store.
Not only most underrated but certainly most under appreciated is Hats Off To (Roy) Harper. I never have understood the hate. I love it unashamedly. And also love [this](https://youtu.be/0xhOk-4h6d8?si=_1LsOHP1PFh2O0Oz) unreleased companion, most likely recorded at the same session.
Hats Off to (Roy) Harper is the only Led Zeppelin song I don't like. I always wished they left that off of III and replaced it with Hey Hey What Can I Do. That would have made it my favorite Zeppelin album.
Me personally, I gotta say live versions of BIOH blow the one on 2 right outta the water IMHO. The ones I have heard anyway. There’s one or two that have Page doing the bow solo during BIOH.
Amazed it took me two minutes of scrolling through the comments before I found this! Such a good song! The guitar is just insane all the way throughout and the beat just lifts ya up outa any sorta dump you're in
There's too many of them but I'd say In the Evening, I just love how when the guitar solo starts it really sounds like an old engine starting up and it's a damn good song regardless
I got mad respect for Zep's and the Beatles hair and beard game, in a only a few short years these dudes seemed to rock every hairstyle and facial hair combination available like they were tweaking their character at the start of the game.
for songs,
I would say I'm Gonna Crawl is underappreciated
That's is actually a very good choice. I would say they have many, a lot of them listed in the comments. The entire presence album is underrated imo. Some of those tracks are simply incredible, and they never get the credit they deserve. Physical Graffiti is their best album imo, The Rover, Custard Pie, In My Time Of Dying, Trampled Under Foot, In The Light, the entire album is incredible.
How does one determine the rating? Just a general feeling ? Or how much you see it mentioned ? It’s a great song . Kashmir was overplayed on FM radio in 70s. Off Physical Graffiti- I think Sick Again is underrated as well . And Night Flight . I remember my friend getting the album when it came out. Listen to all 4 sides with some good Columbian gold . Actually had very few seeds .
D’yer Mak’er; it’s a song that started as a joke about pronouncing “Jamaica” with a British accent, and apparently Page thought the world would’ve caught on to that by releasing it. JPJ absolutely hates it.
The River is great and yes it’s probably underrated.
When we talk about “underrated” I always wonder who we are talking about? Casual fans or fans who are steeped in LZ and have listened to every album 10,000 times?
Casual fans probably underrated, and maybe haven’t even heard, Ten Years Gone. I actually think Ten Years Gone is their greatest song. But yes, The Rover is also very underrated among all fans of the band.
I'm Gonna Crawl, Black Country Woman, & The Crunge are three that don't seem to get much love amongst the fanbase, but I think all three are fantastic songs. Also I feel that on Physical Graffiti the stand out track isn't Kashmir, The Rover or Ten Years Gone but In My Time of Dying. Others that get overshadowed in general are Four Sticks, That's the Way and In the Evening.
Friends. It’s one of the best songs of all time IMO.
Same with Tangerine.
I also LOVE Houses of the Holy, the song. What an epic riff and hook. For 40-plus years now I’ve regularly gotten that riff stuck in my head randomly for days at a time. Maybe haven’t listened to the song for months. Bam. It’s there.
How Many More Times
Masterpiece.
[удалено]
has everything
If this can be considered underrated, absolutely the best.
Came here to complain that this song doesn't get enough love, just to find it with the most upvotes. Well done everyone!
Nah so bouncy and corny. Never liked it. Just not cool like most zeppelin tunes
Thats The Way. I never see it mentioned, or if I do it is negatively, but I enjoy the hell outta that song (especially followed by Bron y aur Stomp afterwards as a great duo). I love the melancholy feel of it and the meandering slide guitar on top. It is also a really fun one to play on the guitar, albeit annoying to get into the alternate tuning. Thats The Way has always reminded me of Pillow of Winds by pink floyd, both in the melancholy feel and layered acoustic guitars, and that they are both overlooked or disliked by fans.
Thematically the song is rather enigmatic, which frankly makes it all the more interesting. I love this song; great song, great album
That and Tangerine are unreal.
The outro is just exquisite. No words needed to fill me with an aching longing—ready to let the tears flow…
Yeah, I always thought that song was similar to Pillow of Winds too actually. I love those kind of songs, so relaxing to listen to, especially when you're just chilling outside in the Sun
One of my favorites! I love playing it on mandolin!
In My Time of Dying
Rarely played due to length. It’s a killer track.
They were doing it on the 77 tour in a blues set towards the open, if I remember right: Song Remains the Same/The Rover (cut short-no Robert)/Celebration Day/Since I've Been Loving You/Nobody's Fault But Mine/In My Time Of Dying. And I wish I'd died right there.
In 1977 they opened with TSRTS, then opening riffs of Rover, then into Sick Again
It’s their best song Except for maybe Levee
Drum arrangement is complex as can be.
OH MY JEE SUH
Nobody’s Fault But Mine
This, along with *Kashmir* and *The Lemon Song* get the most airplay on my Spotify playlist.
Night Flight fucking rocks.
Exactly what I came here to say
Same, I LOVE playing drums along with it
Jeff Buckley’s versions of that song are incredible.
Custard Pie is a banger that doesn't get mentioned as much as a lot of their more famous stuff.
If I can add. If your learning to play the guitar learn this song. Really easy riff and you’ll have it nailed in an hour.
I will have to give it a try!
The clav really makes it
One of the best album openers ever
My favorite song, and I agree when I’ve said this to zep fans I either get an odd look or am asked what album it’s on
It's a super fun one to rock out to in the car.
Also, only played live once by the full band.
I told my partner that it's my stripper song, heh. It packs in some serious euphemism.
What?!? I just thought Robert was really fond of desserts. lol
🤣🤣🤣
It's mediocre asf
Ten Years Gone
Not a hot take at all. Everybody agrees it's one of the best zeppelin song
Fave under appreciated song? Maybe Out on the Tiles or Gallows Pole.
I have tended to unappreciated 3 as a whole album in the past. Upon later visits, I realized I was a fool. The album is legendary.
I was going to say out on the tiles! It has some of my favorite drumming. Fuckin classic Bonham.
Love gallows pole. It’s quick and to the point. Great tune
Carouselambra. Cool synth parts, Pagey's awesome 12-string arpeggios, and Bonham absolutely kills it.
I know there are many Zep fans that were disappointed in the shift in music in the time frame when ‘In through the out door’ came out. No one started their transition better than Led Zeppelin, I believe the album was an incredible shift, and tragically we did not get to see where else they could go with implementing the synthesizer, I believe it would have been amazing.
Same
I can here to say this. It’s a top five for me.
absolutely epic song and a nice hint at where they might have went with things if they had continued as a group
JPJ bass playing in the first section is funky. He is playing to something else
Tea for one
Yep, was going to second that- Tea for One is incredible.
One of the top 2 songs on that album.
Your time is gonna come
Tangerine
In the light
This is the one - as majestic as Kashmir, haunting as No Quarter, forgotten as Ozone Baby.
You might be right here; this may in fact actually be the One. What a great Song ✔️💯
I remember the first time I smoked a J and listened to this as a kid. Fucking haunting vocal harmonies… oh man I still get goosebumps 15 years later
John Paul Jones’ contributions to the band are criminally undervalued.
“In an interview he gave to rock journalist Cameron Crowe, Plant stated that this song was one of Led Zeppelin's "finest moments". Similarly, Page has stated that this is his personal favourite track on Physical Graffiti.” Liner notes by Cameron Crowe for The Complete Studio Recordings.

Celebration Day. Catchy rocker and it cooked even more live, with the kind of funky coda they would tag onto the end.
The live version of CD is unbelievably unbelievably good.
Yes ✔️💯
I think “Tea for One” is a great blues song that does not get much attention.
Friends. It’s the first taste of what was to come with Kashmir. That string part is easily one of my favorite riffs/melodies in their catalog.
The string part melody comes from Host's The Planets, the Mars movement.
Bright lights, almost blindinnng. Saw Robert with Alison in June and they interjected the string part from friends into gallows pole with Alison playing it on the violin. As a 28 year old it brought tears to my eyes lol
Bring it on Home
Simiar to the Crunge
Custard Pie, The Rover, Houses of the Holy, Down By The Seaside, Ten Years Gone Almost all of „Physical Graffiti“. Achilles Last Stand
You time is gonna come, Lemon song, Crunge, Houses of the Holly (from PG), Down by seaside, Wanton song.
[удалено]
Yeah and put the Title Track where it belongs for once. It could have been swapped with Dancing Days.
The Crunge is the only song of theirs I actually hate.
Hey hey what can I do. Does not get enough respect. Perfect song
One issue with this song is it wasn’t released as part of any album until the box set came out in the early 1990s.
I personal never heard until I bought the box set. It was released on a b side but on no album.
Bron-Yr-Aur Simple, short, beautiful, and my personal favorite.
Yeah, me too added a live link of the song. Very cool.
I'm Gonna Crawl. One of Jimmy's very best solos.
One of Plants best vocals
definitely in my top 5 favorites
The Girl I love she Got Long Black Wavy Hair - phenomenal solo.
For Your Life
Traveling Riverside Blues - BBC Version
In My Time of Dying. Just a killer track all around. Also, Bring It On Home.
BIOH rocks especially live, the HTWWW version is killer. Never much cared for IMTOD.
Anything off of Presence
Tea for one💪💪
“No Quarter”
No Quarter
The Rover for sure. Heard Robert Plant in an interview years ago say that, "Zeppelin is known for Stairway, but I would rather people think of The Rover instead." Not word for word, but that was his point. I was hooked on The Rover as soon as I got home from the record store.
In the Light. One of the first Zep songs I ever heard in my life.
Not only most underrated but certainly most under appreciated is Hats Off To (Roy) Harper. I never have understood the hate. I love it unashamedly. And also love [this](https://youtu.be/0xhOk-4h6d8?si=_1LsOHP1PFh2O0Oz) unreleased companion, most likely recorded at the same session.
Hats Off to (Roy) Harper is the only Led Zeppelin song I don't like. I always wished they left that off of III and replaced it with Hey Hey What Can I Do. That would have made it my favorite Zeppelin album.
I once had a GF whose MILF asked with a sour look on her face, what was that we were listening to.
Those abbreviations really paint a picture.
Thank you, the rain song, what is and what should never be
When I lived in Salem MA there was a place I frequented that had someone playing Thank You on acoustic guitar and doing a very good job too.
Yes! What Is And Should Never Be is such a great song especially with headphones on.
Wow we have the same taste
Poor Tom - Bonzo's drumming is insane
Misty Mountain Top
*Hop and “yes”
In the Evening
Down By The Seaside
Hots On For Nowhere
Tea for one
Celebration Day
South Bound Suarez
Bron-Yr-Aur.
So beautiful
💯%. Just a gorgeous piece.
Was perfect as my wedding recessional
Bring It On Home is always never mentioned even though it’s my favorite on II
Me personally, I gotta say live versions of BIOH blow the one on 2 right outta the water IMHO. The ones I have heard anyway. There’s one or two that have Page doing the bow solo during BIOH.
Ten years gone ……one of all time favorites
Ten years gone
Tea For One
Absolutely the rover, that bass during the chorus goes so fucking hard dude.
Sick Again. Sleeper track from Physical Graffiti that I somehow missed when it first came out. Love it.
Best track on the album imo
Bron Yer Stomp https://youtu.be/_PFmGicOEeY?feature=shared
Amazed it took me two minutes of scrolling through the comments before I found this! Such a good song! The guitar is just insane all the way throughout and the beat just lifts ya up outa any sorta dump you're in
That's the way or the rain song. Both enchanting
Ten Years Gone
Tangerine
No quarter
Hot dog!
The Crunge
Down by the seaside
Do you still do the twist?
Do you find you remember things that well.
Sick again
There's too many of them but I'd say In the Evening, I just love how when the guitar solo starts it really sounds like an old engine starting up and it's a damn good song regardless
Four Sticks
Since I've been loving you. Killer blues track
Down By The Seaside
Down By The Seaside. That song needs more love
JPJ always cracks me up the way he poses. Seems like a quiet friendly Englishmen
hots on for nowhere on rotation for jogging
Sick again
Hot Dog is good!!!
Four Sticks for sure
I got mad respect for Zep's and the Beatles hair and beard game, in a only a few short years these dudes seemed to rock every hairstyle and facial hair combination available like they were tweaking their character at the start of the game. for songs, I would say I'm Gonna Crawl is underappreciated
Immigrant Song
Royal Orleans
👍 one of my favorite Zep tunes.
Black Country Woman.
The Rover solo is T3 LZ solos. Most underrated song Houses of the Holy
Out on the Tiles Custard Pie Down by the Seaside
Yeah the rover and wonton song were the ones that I couldn’t believe I had never heard before.
I’m Gonna’ Crawl. The solo through an Octivider pedal is one of his smoothest, fastest and best.
South Bound Suarez
Royal Orleans, really shows off the band's sense of humour.....whiskeeeeeeers!
The Rover, no doubt. Killer riff and then that breakdown groove in the middle. Excellence.
“Achille’s Last Stand” is a close second.
The Rover is very good. My favorite underrated song is That’s the Way on How the West Was Won.
Carouselambra
Bring It On Home, particularly the live version from How the West Was Won
Achilles Last Stand
Achilles Last Stand
Bring it on home is fuckin killer
No Quarter
Ten Years Gone or Bron Yr Aur Stomp
Hey Hey What Can I Do or Carouselambra
Gallows Pole or Battle of Evermore
Underrated by whom?? Seriously, who thinks that these are not great songs?
Easily The Rover
[удалено]
That's is actually a very good choice. I would say they have many, a lot of them listed in the comments. The entire presence album is underrated imo. Some of those tracks are simply incredible, and they never get the credit they deserve. Physical Graffiti is their best album imo, The Rover, Custard Pie, In My Time Of Dying, Trampled Under Foot, In The Light, the entire album is incredible.
All of my love
The Lemon Song
Stairway to Heaven. Easily.
Achilles Last Stand
You are correct in your assessment
Ten Years Gone
tangerine
Can't argue with that
The Lemon Song
How does one determine the rating? Just a general feeling ? Or how much you see it mentioned ? It’s a great song . Kashmir was overplayed on FM radio in 70s. Off Physical Graffiti- I think Sick Again is underrated as well . And Night Flight . I remember my friend getting the album when it came out. Listen to all 4 sides with some good Columbian gold . Actually had very few seeds .
reddit stop calling everything underrated challenge
I think D’yer Mak’er is pretty underrated. Maybe it’s not one of their best songs but I like it.
D’yer Mak’er; it’s a song that started as a joke about pronouncing “Jamaica” with a British accent, and apparently Page thought the world would’ve caught on to that by releasing it. JPJ absolutely hates it.
Dancing Days and Out On The Tiles
Everybody makes it through - it’s only on their physical graffiti deluxe. It’s an incredibly eery intro and then kicks ass when it kicks in
In the evening? Custard Pie? Dyer Maker? Gallows Pole? Tangerine?
The River is great and yes it’s probably underrated. When we talk about “underrated” I always wonder who we are talking about? Casual fans or fans who are steeped in LZ and have listened to every album 10,000 times? Casual fans probably underrated, and maybe haven’t even heard, Ten Years Gone.
