Favourite Led Zeppelin/JPJ bassline??

Sign in to disble this ad
I have every Led Zeppelin album ever released, so it's hard to choose... I'm going to have to say Good Times Bad Times, What is and what should Never Be, Ramble On, or Immigrant Song. I don't see the need to say "The Lemon Song", for I know that's what you will all say anyways

Every JPJ bassline. He's my favorite bass player of all time.
But "The Rover, Hey Hey What Can I do, and Travelling Riverside Blues" are some pretty badass ones.

"Houses of the Holy." Although he mostly follows Page's guitar part, he throws in a few gorgeous harmonies here and there.

Still the Lemon Song for me - this must be the 10th thread like this?

The Lemon Song
What is, and what should never be.
Dazed and Confused, solely because of the breakdown during the guitar solo! Holy cow!

Oh man it IS hard to choose.....IMO the best bass player ever
And the best band ever. But that's all opinion and neither here nor there.

My favorite Zep song is probably How Many More Times, although that's really not a very useful fact because there is only 1 Zeppelin song that I do not ABSOLUTELY ADORE every single tiny bit of, and that's Kashmir. It's still a good song, it's just doesn't blow my mind every time like every other song.

But when it comes down to it, I can listen to / play any JPJ bass line for hours without getting bored, while most only entertain me for 45 minutes or so

Yep. Lemon Song and Good Times Bad Times would have to be my favorites as well.

I like these kinds of thread, there really is no wrong answer! Personally I like Heartbreaker, I know its simple but it compliments the guitar so well and is a blast to play. Others favorites are When the Levy Breaks, Whole Lotta Love, Immigrant Song, and Black Dog. Heartbreaker and Lemon Song are always in rotation at my house.

One bassline from JPJ that I particularly like and don't see mentioned often is the one for "Celebration Day" as captured on the "The Song Remains The Same" soundtrack:

Who says the guitar isn't following him?

I'm not a Zeppelin fan at all, but I've always liked what his sound on "Heartbreaker" does for that song.
