What a catalog of great music!

guess bill reads the comments, and has a wicked sense of humor.  the last song was Marvin Gaye's Hoidittruedagrapevine, and a commenter to that song posits that as long as we keep hearing it without a rest, it will be trampled underfoot in our hurry to live.  good one Bill.  why i keep listening to this, and reading the comments!

It's impossible to say for certain, but there is a distinct possibility that the lyrics may allude to sexual congress.

That, or Plant really, really gets into working on his car.

Never liked this one. Strikes me as very noisy. Seems to be played endlessly on FM.

For thirty years I have been waiting for someone to explain these lyrics to me.  Might someone here oblige? 

NOT GREATEST - but GREAT!

No. That is not necessary.  Zep is THE best band ever!  Fact.

How can anyone say that a single band is the best in any genre?  With Bill & Rebecca constantly exposing me to new bands it have given labeling something "The Best". 

IMO!

Not bad for Zep....

Greatest rock band ever......

Every time I hear this it brings to mind the movie of the dancing girls, Buzby Berkley stuff, that they played for this track on The Old Grey Whistle Test. Come back Whispering Bob.

Great roach stompin' music.

While I like LZ, as do most listeners here, this is monotonous.

Single handedly one of the best bands of all times!!!  

Thanks Bill!

How the F? is this at 7.6? 

Spring 1975. I was 12 and this was their single. So Trampled was my first hearing of LZ. There are better and worst songs in their catalogue. Still Trampled remains as a special one for me...

This tune is very impressive. Good groove, great chord changes, and Plant singing like a madman. Perfect!
