Not a Zep fan really...but I have the utmost respect for this amazing band. I really appreciate what they contributed to the Rock scene in the late 60s, 70s and 80s. We will never hear this kind of musicianship or writing ever again in the mainstream. {#Notworthy}

Not my favorite Zep by a stretch.  Only two ways to go with this one.  Turn it up or mute it. 

This is one song that does not allow passive listening.  It just sucks you in.

For the most part, the seventies was the dead-zone of music...  At least it spawned punk and new wave...

I purchased all the major box sets for Zeppelin such that I have their entire catalog. My conclusion: With the exception of a handful of tracks, Zeppelin didn't put out a bad song. Pretty amazing considering the volume of music they recorded.

This is not a favorite of mine, but "Kashmir" is.
Re 2003 vs. 2011: not that much different to me; some outstanding stuff from each era and mostly really lousy stuff from both eras. Sort of like every era. IMHO, mind you.

Wierd - "Heard It Through the Grapvine" then this?     

Interesting to think "Trampled" was released only 8 years after "Grapevine".     Does 2011 music sound so much different from 2003?   Discuss ....

I just searched for the lyrics for Trampled Underfoot.  I looked at three different sites.  Each one came back with slightly different words.  I get the point, in any case, but it would be interesting to know what the "official" lyrics are.  Were there ever liner notes for this song?

Main recurring riff sounds like something Foreigner tried to do a few times...especially the bass guitar part.

Actually, this is Robert Johnson - Terraplane Blues. I assume you are referring to the hook of course. The link indicates that this was a LZ tribute to the original which used a Terraplane as a metaphor for sexuality and infidelity. The entry for this song references The Complete Guide to the Music of Led Zeppelin as indicating that, yes this is a song about sex :-)

Aha.  Sexual congress.   

I should have done a quick lyrics search.   My actual problem was that I couldn't understand a damned word he's saying.  It's only too obvious seeing it in print.  Had they had lyrics-search in the 70's, I probably would have spent less time in the garage.

Odd how I automatically do a lyrics-search for any song recorded after 1995.  For anything before The Internets, I just assume the only way to figure out the lyrics is to put my finger on the record to slow it down a little bit, or ask my stoned friends.

IMHO 

Best band of the 70's - Stones
Best band ever from England - Beatles

Other better bands ... In others eyes, not mine - The Who, Pink Floyd, Grateful Dead, Aerosmith, In mine... Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Radiohead

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!

For what it's worth: I always thought it was about f*cking - utilizing car parts / mechanics as metaphor. Of course - I was only 15 yrs old when I came to that conclusion...

Yep. A friend says that LZ is the best Rock band, because the Beatles are, in fact, Mod.

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!
