I absolutely love how you do the videos all in one take. It’s natural. I can’t stand when you watch a vid and it keeps jerking all over the place because the person edited the hell out of it to try and be perfect and it comes off being annoying as all hell. Yours are natural and in my opinion perfect. Hope you make many many more
@@AndyEdwardsDrummer You're a waffler. So what ? It's a part of your personality not some character flaw that should land you in jail or get you deported ! Some people like to hear the thoughts of someone with a lot to say and as a fellow sidetracker, I've got a lot of time for people that go off point. Sometimes.
I'm pleased 'Stairway' wasn't there but wtf! Andy no 'Ten Years Gone' !! No dramas I lnow it's completely subjective 😊. This is my favourite video you've done, the story about your Father-in-law is amazing.....bit like the SRV/Clapton helicopter thing. Top man !😊😊
I'm here for the improvised waffling. Nobody waffles better than Andy. Also, I much prefer a subjective list from someone with discerning taste than an objective list.
Andy, this is my favorite video you have ever done. I'm a jazz fan, but we all need Zeppelin in our lives, and you've managed to passionately explain the songs of the greatest band ever. Thank you!
Another Classic Video Andy how you manage to remember all the numbers and songs is beyond me ! Rick Beato "are you watching " This is engaging stuff, look and learn.
I remember visiting a friend at her parents' house in a mid-sized American town (Spokane, WA) in the 1980s. We were sitting in the living room when we heard the sounds of the family's youngest child, a teenage boy, practicing his guitar in his basement bedroom. The unmistakeable acoustic guitar intro came wafting up the stairs, and it was like an epiphany. I said, "I am experiencing an archetypal moment in the late 20th Century Western culture, occupying a suburban house where a teenager is playing THAT SONG!" So it's totally appropriate that you should overlook it -- it's just part of the air we breathe. It's like the water your goldfish swim in. We forget it's even there... but it's ALWAYS THERE! I can't say I grew up with Led Zeppelin because I was born in the late 1950s and most of my friends considered them to be sort of the kind of band our little brothers listened to. We were much, much more "sophisticated," of course -- listening to folk rock and singer-songwriters. So, I didn't really get into Led Zeppelin (I'm sorry, I just can't bring myself to write "Led Zep") until I was in my 30s. Although, when I was 15, I did babysit for a young couple who had "II" and "Houses of the Holy" and listening to them on headphones blew my mind.
Alright LZ is my favorite band ever. I came here with trepidation, but to my delight you have many deep cuts and many of my favorite songs are on this list, and you steered clear of a lot of the songs played on classic rock radio. Well done. Subscribed!
I love your monologue. The way you rank songs and base albums on amount of songs from each one. Love it. Gonna try my own see how it turns out compared to yours
Brilliant stuff as ever. After listening to a tape of my older brothers Physical Graffiti album I went out and bought my first LP - PRESENCE - aged 10. So many great songs over the years.
Great fun, and I’m mostly on board with your rankings, Andy. I would, however, have ranked ‘The Song Remains The Same’ waaaay higher. And ‘Ten Years Gone’ would be in the top ten. It’s time you interviewed Robert. Cheers.
Chat more! I can always listen to the songs on my own. And taste is taste as to rankings.. But the history of the group . The anecdotes. The analysis of the guys and their playing. The tying it all together. Maybe I’m a nerd. But love it.
Before watching this my immediate thought was will the song ranking match the album ranking. So it was great to see Andy immediately outline his methodology. This brings me to comment on Physical Graffiti which many people rank as their number one Led Zeppelin album. I have always thought there are many better songs on the earlier albums and many throwaway songs on PG and given it is a double album this analysis should have favoured PG, as Andy said. I suspect favourite albums have something to do with what one listened to most at a formative age.
Wrote mine down before yours...amazing how many great songs I had, you didn't, & vice versa...highlights the genius. PS. think I may have seen you play with RP in Tewkesbury 99/00? Glad I found this channel.
Physical Graffiti has at least 6 of their top 30 tracks IMO. In order(Best 1st) Ten Years Gone Kashmir Trampled Under Foot In my time of Dying in the Light The Rover
I love your waffling -- please keep that in all your future videos! Question: if you were to consider creating a list to present to us that consisted of your best/greatest rock songs, how many Led Zeppelin tracks would go on that list? It would have to be a fairly long list (I'd guess at least 500 songs . . . maybe 1000?), but I wonder how many slots Led Zeppelin would take?
So happy to see 3 tracks from Presence. It was the first album I ever bought and it remains my favourite album of my favourite band. Tea For One is immense. My second favourite was Physical Graffiti, so In The Light is a welcome addition. But Ten Years Gone nearly makes me cry with it's beauty. Good list though!
Thoroughly enjoyable video, made better via the personal connection, but also the pervading sense of the geographical connection through yourself, two of the members and on through the influence of Tolkien even if it had been merely indirect and unconscious. I’ve never claimed to be Zep’s biggest fan,( and can occasionally feel animated to push back when I feel fans are exaggerating their brilliance), …… BUT …. when I first heard The Song Remains The Same when around 12-13 years old, and had just started playing, I did have my musical mind blown and I still to this day involuntarily hear the songs from that album ‘as I did back then’ and they still represent something that to me is way beyond mere hard rock. After hearing those tracks ‘first’ with their brilliant live arrangements and killa playing, the studio versions would forever pale in comparison and possibly tainted my personal appreciation of the band. That said, this vid has inspired me to revisit their catalogue once again.
Yes, I liked it and I'm subscribed. I very much enjoy your approach, keep up the good work! btw - whatever happened to The Rover? Killer drum intro, fabulous main riff, fabulous following chord sequence, great use of just enough guitar effects, awesome plaintative vocals and lyrics by Robert, and... Jimmy's most underrated solo (and maybe the most underrated in all of classic rock). Incredible phrasing and space placement, just a touch of flash, uses a huge part of the fretboard. I readily agreed with your list as a whole, but for me the The Rover would knock the vast majority of those songs out of their spot. "If we could just join hands.. that's all it takes. That's all it takes."
🌠Oooh Andy !!! so Effin Good..u had me cracking up so much I almost peed my pants..Love the Zappa Cover of .."the Song": from the 88 tour...Good List..
I saw Zappa cover _the song_ in '88 at Wembley. I can't remember if they played it both nights, I went Monday & Tuesday... but a brilliant rendition. Oh yeah, FZ Robert was in the audience - but I think Robert had left before _the song_ was played.
@@henrydarker4314yeah I heard about that ...& Robert went 2 see Dweezil play the royal Albert hall..& left before the end again ..maybe 2 avoid the crowd ..most likely..I just listened 2 Zappa stairway in the car
Outstanding work, as always, Captain Andy; I was wondering (hoping) if you might find some love for The Rover from Physical Graffiti (might be my favorite Zep song - there's something about it). As for you talking too much - I think your response to that as a general consideration was spot on. It is your passion that saves the day (which is absolutely as it should be). If we can't share a laugh, then what, indeed, does it all mean... 15 points for the Captain!
This popped up let it run. Happily settled for your rant against waffle nay sayers mouth of coffee and your raspberry. Straight up my nose all over the kitchen floor. Almost followed my my dead body. You crack me up mate I have had more laugh out loud moments with you since I found you than any so called comedian or comedy program. All blessings for the new year. Keep it up I just have to remember you need a government health warning. God bless you and yours.
I'm thinking of watching this vid. Its my fav channel so why not. I suppose it couldn't hurt. I mean ive been a massive led zep fan since i was a teen. Its just ..its just such an obvious vid to make. Surprised you haven't made it sooner.
Oh my gosh! You’re freakin out! (Like Zappa)! Love your method! The numbers is cool for best album! Of course your list is subjective! Love it! Haha Hahahhahaha. 30 is a lot for a band with 42. Haha Misty mountain hop 30?! Ok… I’ll try to be open minded. But that’s a Top 10-12. Wow! 😊 Rock on! Oh my! You just be stoned! Sling it duder!
I second the Eddie Cochran idea. All those early Rock and roll artists are so vital to everything else. I mean if you can’t play Chuck Berry and Bo Diddly you can’t play rock. Great video Andy. I love waffles btw.
@@bfish89ryuhayabusa yeah if you go further back to the Delmore Brothers “Freight Train Boogie” from 1947. You can hear that swing and a little back beat. But really I think Rock and Roll is a spirit.
It was "Immigrant Song" that made me like Led Zeppelin. I didn't like their first two albums when they came out but III really changed my mind about the band. Anyway, i enjoyed this video and the waffling. 👍
brilliant Andy!!!!! It's For Your Life innit...................they are so good, the best song isn't on the best album and neither is Stairway. What a band. the greatest ever! I'm now gonna check if you were in Priory . I'm in man. cheers
Definitely one of your greatest rants, Andy (you should think about ranking the rants sometime). However you arrived at the album rankings, it's pretty close to how I see things, though for me it's III, IV, II, and I. Now, there are great tracks on the remaining albums, but... Well, maybe it was all that smack Jimmy, but the flame started to flicker with HOTH. Now ITTOD I could have done without entirely...
For me I woul d pick Physical Graffiti as the #1 album and Houses of the Holy as my#2. As far as Stairway To Heaven, I could care less if I ever hear it again! Great video Andy! 50:37
The opening drum beat of Rock and Roll is from Little Richard - Keep a Knockin', drummed by Chuck Connors. Fleetwood Mac did it on their live album Live in Boston and various album reissues under adifferent title
Yes, it is well documented that the song came out of a jam session Led Zeppelin were having when they were playing rock and roll standards. Bonham played that drum intro and they took off from that.
When playing les zep songs and especially lz4, when you listen to each song you are entering another world. I can't think of any other band that could do this change from song to song to song.
just found your channel this weekend. I've been a Zephead for 47 years and before I watch this here is the record of my top Zep tracks thru my life (it was 1976 when I got Zep 2) Whole lotta love, Stairway, The Rain Song, Kashmir, Ten Years Gone. for the last 15 years, top Zep Track..... For Your Life. Turn it right up and immerse yourself. MAGNIFICENT! Cheers.
“In Through the Outdoor” i consider to be a Classic Honestly i genuinely don’t understand why so many people consider it to be rubbish “I’m Gonna Crawl” gives me Goosebumps man. It’s epic!!!!
Whenever someone tries to make an “objective” list, it always turns out subjective. Because it’s what you subjectively believe to be objectively the best. Anyways, here’s my ranking of the albums and my top 10 songs: 9: Coda 8: Led Zeppelin II 7: Presence 6: Led Zeppelin I 5: In Through the Out Door 4: Led Zeppelin IV 3: Led Zeppelin III 2: Physical Graffiti 1: Houses of the Holy - Dazed and Confused - Friends - That’s the Way - The Song Remains the Same - The Rain Song - Dancing Days - No Quarter - Kashmir - In the Light - Down by the Seaside
Houses .... is my favorite record they made : The song ... , Over the hills ...., No Quarter, The Ocean, ... dancing days ....what a collection, btw your singing immitations are not bad, Robert's harmonica playing is awesum, ... rocky,bluesy as on "Nobodies fault ..." Billie Jean King .. ? used an item that does remind you of a guitar but is called a tennis racket 😆 ... good list ... I would add "Over the hills ...", and "Out on the tiles" and"Custard Pie" "Bring it back home" ... I actually knew from the beginning it would be hard to boil down LZ to only 30 songs, actually impossible
I absolutely love how you do the videos all in one take. It’s natural. I can’t stand when you watch a vid and it keeps jerking all over the place because the person edited the hell out of it to try and be perfect and it comes off being annoying as all hell. Yours are natural and in my opinion perfect. Hope you make many many more
I think Tea For One is their most underappreciated song.
I just love your sense of humour. This is fun. Love Zeppelin.
A surreal experience and forgetting Stairway is on point for this channel 😂😂😂
Ten Years Gone - when I listen to it after a long period of time, I always think this is the greatest song of all time.
Hard to imagine the world of music without Led Zepp's contribution.
I liked them so much when they were new, I listened too much...
Keep waffling Andy! Love it !! 😁
Will do!!

Brilliantly used in Manhunter
These list videos are my favourite fluff content... Love your humour Andy. So much fun, mistakes and all
Glad you enjoyed it
We're a FAN of your TH-cam CHANNEL & have ENJOYED your ALBUM REVIEWS & MORE! 🌟🌟🌟🌟
The first few mins of this vid you totally BOLT out of the gates. I'm reaching for my valium.
Incredible performance art! You win tonight, my friend.
Thanks again!
Proud to be the 400th like on this video! I love your list videos so much, you are quickly becoming one of my favorite music TH-camrs!
My favorite video of yours so far. I'll be listening to Zeppelin every day for the next month now.
The best part of your channel is when you start talking and it takes off, informed by all kinds of philosophy!
Keep waffling Andy.. that was entertaining and funny and just excellent 😂

I did do that gig
So lovely to know that...Thanks mate.@@AndyEdwardsDrummer
When you caught yourself at 36:16 forgetting "That Song" it was so funny, gave me a huge laugh as a less-than-new fan!
Physical Graffiti has at least 6 of their top 30 tracks IMO. In order(Best 1st)
Ten Years Gone
Kashmir
Trampled Under Foot
In my time of Dying
in the Light
The Rover
Swap Rover to top as has the killer riff 😉
That was fun! Thank you for creating a musically literate Zep listing. It might be the first ever on the net.

Still whipping off my screen.
Hi Andy just discovered your channel, absolutely loved this video and I loved the waffle 🙂
Your best video Andy. Funny, and thoughtful.

Fun video mate, my personal favourites are Over the hills and far away and The Rover 🤷🏻♂️😁
Thank you sounds amazing of diff live bootleg versions.

"Your Time Is Gonna Come" might be my number one. Love the organ
“In Through the Outdoor” i consider to be a Classic
Honestly i genuinely don’t understand why so many people consider it to be rubbish
“I’m Gonna Crawl” gives me Goosebumps man.
It’s epic!!!!
Whenever someone tries to make an “objective” list, it always turns out subjective. Because it’s what you subjectively believe to be objectively the best.
Anyways, here’s my ranking of the albums and my top 10 songs:
9: Coda
8: Led Zeppelin II
7: Presence
6: Led Zeppelin I
5: In Through the Out Door
4: Led Zeppelin IV
3: Led Zeppelin III
2: Physical Graffiti
1: Houses of the Holy
- Dazed and Confused
- Friends
- That’s the Way
- The Song Remains the Same
- The Rain Song
- Dancing Days
- No Quarter
- Kashmir
- In the Light
- Down by the Seaside
LZ2 second from last?! I like it best of all, FWIW; but by virtually all objective rankings, most rank it at least among the Top 3.
Of course, we all know about 'that song' even in the studio or live.. yes we all know Andy.. cheers!!
GREAT, GREAT, THX, THX, THX, LOVE IT!!!!
Glad to hear "When the Levee Breaks" get its due! Certainly not unloved by devotees, but rarely ranked where it belongs
That was great, Andy.......
........😅
Thanks! 😃
I like to hear your rambling about the reasons you like particular songs/albums. I would donate money to you to buy some waffles.
When The Levee Breaks 🤩
Love the list. Stairway no.1 of course. But I thought What is and what should never be might get a look in.
Billie Jean King !
Priceless.
Thanks Andy, just here for the education so the tutorial or waffle is an elucidation
As far as your waffling goes, all I can say is: “pass the maple syrup, please I’ll have some more”
Houses .... is my favorite record they made : The song ... , Over the hills ...., No Quarter, The Ocean, ... dancing days ....what a collection, btw your singing immitations are not bad, Robert's harmonica playing is awesum, ... rocky,bluesy as on "Nobodies fault ..." Billie Jean King .. ? used an item that does remind you of a guitar but is called a tennis racket 😆 ... good list ...
