OK, it has its moments, but is highly overrated. But I’m glad my folks liked it...
Separately, they each bought a copy of IV, dad the LP and mom the cassette (pink, as I recall - her least favorite color), and they both said they purchased this album for only that one song. At the time I was just a child and was exploring various musical genres so I listened to all sorts of stuff in their collection(s). And when I heard the first few notes of Black Dog I was hooked. But after a few great songs STH would come on and I’d immediately forward to the end of the tape and flip it so that I could listen to the B-side.
40 years later I’m still listening to this album, but now just hitting the ‘next track’ button when STH starts...

Maybe you had to be around when it first came out to appreciate it.
I can watch this again and again. I typically don’t like covers as much as the original, but this was a great rendition and just has such great chorus surprises and you can see the emotion of Page and Plant as they watch it.

It’s a great song, but yeah it’s overrated, I think. I love me some Zeppelin but that’s not even my favorite song on the album. When the levee breaks beats that for me easily.

I’m of a similar mind. The song has its moments but it’s too sad and too long. Just one big long depressing trip that probably would be okay if it wasn’t so seriously overplayed.

Overrated or not, it’s over played. If I only hear it very infrequently it ROCKS! If I’ve been hearing lots of Zeppelin, Ill pass on it.
Immigrant Song or Kashmir might be my favorite Zeppelin song though.

People don’t realize these signs were real back then.
“The gag is at the expense of wannabe guitar heroes who get just good enough to pluck out the opening notes of The Most Obvious Song You Can Imagine and immediately rush off to show everyone what they’ve accomplished. The scene struck a chord with music store employees who gritted their teeth through innumerable, halting performances of “Stairway” through the 1970s and 1980s.”

Definitely a great tune.
Yesterday a local station was playing ‘Darlene’, a track they don’t play often enough. Made me want to dig out the turntable and grab that box of vinyl and rekindle a few old memories...

its great how it builds up the tempo. It has become the default zep song and thus gets overplayed too much.

Great song, certainly not their best. I never hear it on the radio, so that helps.
