It's hard to pick a favorite Led Zeppelin song, but this has always been right at the top. I just love every note!

Led Zeppelin is the best rock band ever... Imho

What else can you say about them? Simply the GOATS! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Every song is awesome such talent my goodness. God bless all of us Led Zeppelin fans. I listen to them daily this is what music really is and boy oh boy what a voice every instrument everything

When the levy breaks ,another masterpiece

No Quarter is definitely my favorite LZ song.

Live version is awesome ❤

I could never choose a favorite!

I don't have a favorite led Zeppelin tune every one of them are my favorites they have been making music for decades now and their music will last a lifetime for future generations to enjoy. They are just G.O.A.T S

That ending is so Zeppelin. So many surprises and so much attention to detail. Absolute studio masters of the rock form. Beatles, Led Zeppelin, PInk Floyd etc.

Theyre jjust consistently brilliant arnt they

Just awesome song. Amazing, punching bass by JPJ.

My favorite LZ song is always the one I’m listening too

So fresh, so unique..

A legendary performance! Better than the studio version for sure!

You have to agree there just isn't a bad song

Always listen till the very end of zeppelin tracks, they often have stuff at the end and youll miss it

"I wasn't expecting that" pretty much describes Zep as a whole.

Yup-yup! I knew you'd dig!

I live for my dream and a pocket full of gold... Acapulco gold.

You really can’t go wrong with any of their music, even the obscure stuff. I’ve never heard a song from them that I didn’t like. 😎

My favourite Zeppelin song...that moment the Electric kicks in...it's one of the greatest bars in music history...the goosebumps were out because I was waiting for it to kick in. Definitely worth doing the live...the way Jimmy is able to make that arrangement work on one guitar is brilliant. But then the next song on the album is going to surprise you, probably the most radically different song yet...there's no bad option there.

My favourite Zeppelin song. Along with Thank You and The Ocean :):)

Everybody knows jimmy is awesome kn electric guitar but hes also amazing on acoustic too!

In 2006, my husband & I drove from Eastern Ohio to Northern CA. We happened to be playing this & the line, "Gaze upon the open road" saw us cross the Continental Divide on I-80. We drove 7000 miles in three weeks. It was magical. As a person with theater & broadcasting experience, I would ask you to sit up straight in your chair. Leaning forward, you can't get a good breath & end up swallowing your voice. Sit back & up to allow your diaphragm to expand & contract naturally. Raise your monitor & sit about six inches closer. Thanks, Good Luck!

This album is their most diverse with many different styles .

Hey Bobby, as someone who “came of age” lol in the 70’s, I think everyone into rock knew what a brilliant engineer/producer/artist he truly was. He literally was at the center of what was happening then. As for now, I’m not sure most (not all) in professional music, or the listening public, know what was going on 20 years ago. I think we owe it to ourselves to be a little conceited that, we know, we know! Regards 🤘😎

He Produced all but one Zepp album. That's a pretty epic resume. Obviously this gets overshadowed by the fact he's THE Hard Rock guitar God

My second favorite Zepp album behind Physical Graffiti. It used to be #1 until I got P.G.

Salut SalvoG from France I'm also on a Led Zeppelin discovery journey (and Pink Foyd btw) Over the Hills and Far Away's studio version here is actually different obviously from the live MSG version, which I oftentimes prefer, but somehow they're both as great. Thanks for sharing this one.

Fun fact the British Flag on Robert crotch, in the posted pic, is there to cover his John henry

I love the acoustic guitar to start, however, if you listen closely, the acoustic remains throughout the song and Jonesy's bass "punches" definitely pop. From what I've been able to find, the title may have been inspired by Tolkien's poem "Over Old Hills and Far Away" or an old British song from the 18th Century with the same title that was used in a ballad opera called The Beggar's Opera. They had the backing arrangements first then Robert came up with lyrics. He said it was sometimes difficult having to sing over some of the increasingly complex melody lines, but I think he sounds just fine. I love the guitar and clavinet tinkling echoes at the end; they're like a sweet dream, receding softly as you awaken. Always listen to the end of a track - you never know what you're gonna get.

Couldn't agree more! That moment where Jimmy's elec. guitar kicks in made me fall in love with this band. + The outro of this one really is something else.

Tell me again what genre are they? He said sarcastically! 😂 You can’t pigeon hole them. They are Led Zeppelin!

Light and Shade. That's what they do. Heavy and Light. Led (heavy) and Zeppelin (lighter than air). Drama, evolution and transitions. The fade out/fade in at the end of this song is very reminiscent of the ending of Thank You from the 2nd album. In the future you need to make sure you listen to every LZ song to the very last note. This is very important. You'll deal with this again in the next album, during In My Time Of Dying. Get ready for something entirely different in the next song.

Oh boy No Quarter is next? --- Love it

Definitely wasn't simple! Listen to how the sounds blend with Page's guitar and then the heavy drop!

Awesome

I’ve always loved this song too! This album has so many different songs you’ll be hard pressed to chose one.

The best live version of this song is from the "How The West Was Won" album.

Listen to the this song live from How the west Was Won live album. Best live version out there!

Yesss I love this one. A few songs I know but don't know the name of, this was one of them. Rock out Friday.

I agree they drew out the outro. Just to annoy the radio stations!

Funny story but I first bought and heard Houses of the Holy when I was a sailor on a destroyer during Viet Nam and being a rather die hard Zep fan having been following and loving them from when their first came out, I hated it, Luckily not long after, a few listens and I fell in love with it and it may be my favorite album.

Dyer Maker. Is a deliberate misspelling of the word "Jamaica." Jer-maker is prolly how to pronounce it.

Yes, sometimes you have to listen to the end because you may miss something. In My Time of Dying, side 1 of Physical Graffiti, Studio Version, has a not expected ending.

Led zeppelin are forever my favourites. But if you’re looking for anything else to watch, humble pie did a live version of black coffee which is amazing. Well worth a look. Over the hills live is great too, and if you want to see zeppelin really showcase their talent then dazed and confused live at msg is an odyssey!!

Must do live version...1973 MSG performance.

This one is definitely in my top 5. Love the guitar work

Over The Hills And Far Away is probably Led Zeppelin’s most complete song, as it best encapsulates the light and shade, soft and heavy, philosophy that Jimmy Page wanted to capture in the band’s music. When I first heard the acoustic intro of this song, nearly 25 years ago, I immediately knew that I wanted to learn how to play the guitar. Every time I pick up one of my guitars, I always play this song, and because I have done so, hundreds of times, I can play most of it with my eyes closed, based solely on muscle memory. This tracks is definitely in my top 5 Led Zeppelin song list. A work of art from start to finish.

It is simply amazing, check out bring it on home as well. Trust me.

all of zepplin songs are my fav. They are the Goat. Each member is the Goat.

This song is still my favorite! The beginning is just bad a*s!

There is nothing simple about Led Zeppelin music. I can't remember who said it, but I totally agree, if Jimmy Page wrote it, you can bet it's difficult to play.

best band ever...stop...

The live version from How the West was Won is super awesome! I don’t believe there’s a video with it but it’s just great!

SalvoG As long as you are hitting these great classics, I'll be subbin 👍

Have you done Ramble On? If not, you should! 😁

Great reaction Do It Live! Peace.

One of my favorite songs ever, one of the first I really learned on my bass (took a while for guitar to catch up lol), my stepfather used to play it on his 12-string and it's just stuck with me ever since, so beautiful. The ending makes me weepy.

I was in a band in my younger days and the guitarist tried to learn the acoustic intro. He could nail it once or twice, but to keep it up took incrdible concentration and skill. It's so loaded with hammer ons and pull offs that if you miss one it doesn't sound right. One of my favorite Zeppelin songs. Number one is definitely the studio version of Since I've Been Loving You. Zeppelin III is probably my favorite Zeppelin album. It's totally underrated.

Always one of my favorites...and fun to play..

Bonham and JPJ under Page's guitar solo is a lovely slice of RnB/Funk.

Houses of the holy ❤🧡🕊✌🏼

Your doing great. Stick with the Z so much more to hear

My Wife has gone to Jamaica, Dyer maker? No She went of Her own Accord. Actual Song Origin for Dyer Maker.

But this reminds me of a time, I picked up my buddy one time for work. Before I even made it out of the driveway, he blurts out he just saw Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure the night before. And he wanted to know if I had that cassette talking about in that movie? (Where they said Socrates came from a time when the whole world looked like the cover of Houses of the Holy.) As I was a giant LZ fan, and had nearly all their cassettes in my car, I quickly pulled it out. Then I discovered the insert had vanished.☹ So I never did get to show him. Was just weird. I used to annoy the hell out of him, always talking about LZ. Now the one part where I woulda actually been useful, I came up empty.....

They touch on every type of genre. No Quarter is very different, might be a good one played on Halloween,lol....Live is absolutely amazing and even better! If you know the band Tool, they did a cover of No Quarter a few years back.

Rain Song

"D'yer Mak'er", no she went on her own accord, hopefully when you look up the pronunciation you will get the reference to the English joke.

Do the live brother...you'll love it!

Yes, should definitely react to the live version. Everyone here would propose the MSG 1973 version, which has video included and it is just great: kzread.info/dash/bejne/YnWuj7auicWamJM.html. Additionally, I propose the audio only version from Dallas 1975, which to me has the best solo Page/Johnes/Bonham were able to put together live, ever: kzread.info/dash/bejne/hYiMrZORe821mqw.html. Why do not react to both of them in one shot?

Really enjoying your genuine reactions brother. Keep it up. Fairly new here… Have you hit Pink Floyd yet? I think you’d like a lot. “Shine on you crazy diamond” is (in my opinion) the “most Pink Floyd” Pink Floyd song and an all-time favorite but buckle up it’s a long ride. Worth it though.

At times this has been my favorite Zeppelin song. Melodies are elite and next level. Will say the next song "The Crunge" I call "The Cringe" is my least favorite Zeppelin song. Have always seen it as a non-serious effort and a bit of a gag.
