Exactly the comment I came in here to make.

 

[Motown Marvel]

under rated: gallow's pole.

 

[Mario_Galaxy]

I love Led Zep but they are definitely overrated, I'd agree that most of the songs on IV are looked at way too much. Agreed on Since I've Been Loving You as well, great song by them.

 

[Sawyer]

Underrated:
Achilles Last Stand
Babe I'm Gonna Leave You

 

[Kurosawa]

Pfft, ALL of Presence is underrated IMO. And as much as I like IV it's natural to consider it overrated...not the best Zep album or album from that year (which was a huge rock year, with Led Zep IV, Who's Next, Yes' Fragile, Pink Floyd's Meddle and I'm sure a few more great records that I've forgotten.

This.

I usually don't listen to the radio but was bored with the CDs I had in my car and had the radio on and they actually played this song. I've never heard the radio play this one before and most of the people I know don't really know the song as well.

 

[maenalus]

I never shared the great enthusiasm for BLACK DOG.

 

[darkseid26]

First post is pretty much right.

 

[Figs]

Another underrated song from Zeppelin I think is Bron-Y-Aur Stomp.

 

[howl]

underrated -
since i've been loving you
when the levee breaks

 

[SPIDERFIST]

I agree with Kurosawa. The entire "Presence" LP is underrated. As for the rest of Led Zep's material........I'll put it to you this way: I feel I've been force-fed their music over the radio the same way a Communist government force-feeds its people propaganda. You hear it long enough enough, you start to believe everything about it and everything that's said about it.

 

[Hotwire]

I'm still trying to figure out how the guitar solo in Stairway To Heaven made it to #1 on a poll I read.

 

[ShivNasty]

I love anthing of Zep's, it all rocks

 

[TinkTonks]

I totally agree that 'Gallows Pole' and 'Achilles Last Stand' are underrated. I believe that there are some overlooked jems on IV, (I really like 'Four Sticks' and 'When the Levee Breaks') But most of the songs from that album are overplayed. I won't say overrated. III and especially Houses of Holy I feel don't get the notice they deserve. Easily my favorite Led Zep albums!
