I still listen to them, in my youth it was crazy :) This one has come up on top. Why? No 1 of Led Zeppelins songs 1. Over the Hills and Far Away (Houses of the Holy, 1973) It is the song that best demonstrates just about everything the band does well: the unforgettable and impossible-to-pin-down opening riff, the life-affirming transition from acoustic to electric, the constant switches in tone and dynamic, the piercing solo with double-tracked climax, the impeccable interplay of guitar, bass, and drum, the inimitable Plant shrieking, the gorgeous coda, even the super-oblique title... its Zep through and through, checking all of the boxes and kicking your ass while doing so. But the thing that really seals it for Over the Hills is the sense of wonder it inspires. The climax of Over the Hills, is as wondrous as the band ever got, achieving a classic-rock nirvana that only a handful of songs in history have ever been lucky enough to be able to touch. youtu.be/6bD9t44JUD4 spin/articles/led-zeppelin-every-song-ranked/?utm_source=spinfacebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=spinfacebook
