Saved by the Wayback Machine, here. I got up to list #49 before noticing there were 150 lists.
I stumbled upon that compilation of compilations while reading a 2021 article, "How Led Zeppelin's 'Going to California' Crushed on Joni Mitchell."

The deadbeat, my friend, is hidin' in his den.

Joni Mitchell used odd voicings in her music because she'd had polio and couldn't make guitar chords the "right" way.
Anyway she really was a genius. And so prolific. I'm not surprised Zeppelin admired her.
Musicians aren't snobby about genres like their fans are.
That's a cook List list. Set aside for future reading.
Still no respect. The list of best #2 songs doesn't have The Royal Guardsmen song Snoopy Versus The Red Baron. That was recorded in Tampa. I'm A Believer was ok, but still.
Top 5 rock (must rock!):
1. Born to be Wild
2. Jumpin Jack Flash
3. Walk This Way
4. Superstition
5. Takin Care of Business
Imho
That California doesn't exist anymore. All the East Coast immigrants whom followed the hippies out West turned it into a safe space for Flatlanders.
Waterboys: “Fisherman’s Blues”… “Whole of the Moon”…
Sublime!
Music that you feel, with intelligent lyrics that take you on a mental journey… that’s the ticket.
I hadn't listened to this song in a long time. I had forgotten how much I liked it.
Thanks, Althouse.
Probably mentioned before - we are huge Joni fans in this house. Hejira and Don Juan's Reckless Daughter are the ones I usually reach for. I think her debut album (which I also like) is my wife's favorite. Joni had that one remixed a few years ago.
Keith's opening of Can't You Hear Me Knocking.
It's not only one of my favorite Zeppelin songs, it's one of my favorite songs- period. It holds a lot of meaning for me.
As the years go by, more and more musicians from that time (our time) confess to having a crush on Joni Mitchell. No one like her in the industry over the last century. A singular soul, great musician, song writer, singer, arranger, and apparently, heartbreaker to the industry.
Not a huge Zeppelin fan, but I really like these kinds of songs from them.
It's also nice to see musicians at the top of their game who make everything look effortless.
Page just sits there, twirls his fingers around leisurely and makes it sounds like two or three instruments at once.
There's a reason these guys made a lot of money.
As for Joni, I think everyone was in love with the idea of her. Beautiful, young, talented, and living in the hills above LA...what's not to love?
10 Album Openers That Still Make The Hairs Stand Up On The Back Of Your Neck
Neil Young: "Don't Cry No Tears" opens “Zuma”… that’s the exact feeling I had when I first heard the guitar opening on this song… heard it on top of the line Harmon Kardon stereo in 1975.
Later, when I read the Rolling Stone review, I smiled a knowing smile when the reviewer described that same feeling.
We've seen the old lion many times over the years, including with Allison Krauss. He's had an amazing career, never rests on his laurels, and has adapted his singing as his voice ages. I've never met him, but friends of mine have, and they all say he's a lovely guy, no ego at all. Part of me wishes I could see him with Jimmy and JPJ just the once but unlike Page, Plant has kept on moving while poor Jimmy has been stuck there with his re-masters for over thirty years.
List of Great Live Albums and no mention of Lowell George and Little Feat’s “Waiting For Columbus” ?
Gimme a break!
I've never been a Led Zeppelin fan, but "Going to California" came up a couple years ago when Spotify was selecting songs for me and, since then, it's become a favorite.
It snuck up on me because the beginning is so gentle and folky, so I fell in love with it before figuring out who it was. After I liked it on Spotify, I'd play my "liked" playlist on shuffle, and got re-surprised a few more times and reconfirmed that I genuinely liked it, despite avoiding the band for the most part.
In the early 70s, I had a job where we could listen to the radio if we wanted to, and we did, and that was the time when "Stairway to Heaven" was so over-played. It really seemed unfair to everyone new that these "dinosaur" bands were taking up so much space in the culture
