A dim memory of getting stoned for the first time at Boy Scout camp tumbles forth as this song starts. Absolutely laughed my ass off in the middle of the pitch-dark woods as the weed kicked in and the mosquitoes feasted away. Strange, but we weren't listening to Led Zep at the time...My own little madeleine cake moment. 

I do miss getting stoned, although I've done it less than 10 times in my life...It's been 20+ years now.

I think I dig Zep's acoustic stuff more than the straight electric. Even better when they blend the two sounds like this.

Hearing LZ on a radio makes me smile everytime. Such a perfect song to enlighten the mood in the room.

Great. From a life long fan of all that is Led Zep. One of the first bands I ever saw live at the Empire in Liverpool.

Well, in my opinion, it does. Do you even like this song?

So glad to hear how much of a favorite this song is. The opening guitar riff is so comforting because its an instant reminder of how awesome the next 4 minutes will be.

This could be the best Zep album ever.  Except for maybe LZ 1.  And maybe LZ 2.  And myabe Zoso (LZ 4) now that I think about it.  And let's not forget that LZ 3 was a killer folksy album, and a dramatic break from their previous heavy-duty rock albums.

Are we clear about all that now?

I love Zep for so many reasons. Mostly because it reminds me of the only man I lever loved.

It depends if you are rating based on how you truly respond to the music, or what the song's reputation is.

And the ratio of 'halfway-decent' to 'duffers' is.

Comparatively, Zeppelin had fewer 'duffers' than any other band that comes to mind.  Even on a bad day they were better than most everyone else out there - and far and away better than most of what's being released these days.

And this isn't one of my favourite Zeppelin tunes.

Perhaps there are rather too many 'classics' on this station for some folks tastes. Every day brings a heap of Led Zep, Grateful Dead and The Who, to mention but a few 'classic' bands. Perhaps those of a certain vintage (and I'll not see 50 again myself) might wet their knickers over 'golden oldies' but such tastes aren't always shared, and it's not sacrilegious to just plain dislike 'classics', much as it's not sacrilegious to hate Mozart, say. No music is above criticism.

For all that, Led  Zep did put out some halfway-decent music, but they also had their fair share of duffers, as befits what was for the time an experimental band, and IMO this is one of them.
