Trip Through Your Wires vs. When the Levee Breaks

[shart1780]

Which song do you think is better?

 

[RA-D]

Zeppelin, just, there's that bit where the guitar builds and doesn't explode that is superb (that made sense to me) - dubious comparison though, hadn't seen that one coming.

 

[rivergoat]

Huh?

I don't know how you could pick such completely different songs, but you asked, so here's my answer.

I love Led Zeppelin - When the Levee Breaks is a classic song that's good for cross-country driving or just chilling on the back porch in the lazy afternoon sun of a long summer's day.

Trip Through Your Wires is just a fun fun song - I mean, a little rock, a little roll, a bit of sway and a grinning kick-punch - it's just FUN!

Which is better depends on my mood - but I'd have to pick Trip Through Your Wires because it always puts a smile on my face - I can always relax later.

Man, these Zep vs U2 son gcomaprisons are easy.

Pattern seems to be "take a zep classic vs a mediocre u2 song".

Every aspiring drummer should hear Levee.

Levee is not one of my favorite Led songs, but Bonham brings it as usual..

 

[djerdap]

Trip Through Your Wires is crap. When the Levee Breaks is a great song. Love the drum beat on that one!

 

[JOFO]

Levee.

 

[Pero]

Didn't hear When the Levee Breaks but i will say that it's better than Trip, because TRIP is fuc.... piece of shit

 

[ZeroDude]

Bullet live at Zootv sydney versus Till the Levee, Zepp get beat in a fair comparision

Better comparison is bullet live at Zoo vs. In My tIme of dying live at Earl's court

IMTOD takes it by a hair

 

[ZeroDude]

thats a fine hair indeed, and it pushes Bullet infront imo, I just prefer the sound unfair though to a far earlier recording

 

[LeafsNation]

Both great songs...but Levee is superior...

 

[Canadiens1131]

I'll take Wires.

Levee is a pain in the ass to listen to, just like Misty Mountain Hop AND Four Sticks. Zoso is so overrated

oooh.....that's a good one.

cannot choose.

How CAN you TRY to compare 'When the Levee Breaks' and 'Trip Through Your Wires'...??? Mind boggling...

'Levee' wins every time...

 

[yolland]

It's like comparing a gelding to a stallion!

 

[djerdap]

Whoa...
Bullet ZooTV vs. In My Time of Dying Earl's Court is a bit hard, since they are both in my top 5 by the band...
But, I choose Bullet at the end.

 

[shart1780]

I think Levee and Wires are comparable. I always thought of them as being of a kinda similar style, with the heavy drumming, guitars, harmonica and all.

 

[fmattyh]

Wow - you're comparing one of the greatest rock songs of all time with Trip Through Your Wires? TTYW isn't even in the top-10 of Joshua Tree songs. When the Levee Breaks is just rock and roll at its best.

Next - which is better? Last Night on Earth or Layla?

 

[najeena]

You gotta love 'Levee', molten, dirty blues at it's very best. I especially love the little frisson of a guitar sqibb at the very end.

I agree, it's an odd comparison. Using Bullet would have made more sense to me.

 

[phanan]

Yeah, interesting comparison to make, but Levee is a classic...

 

[ZeroDude]

Bullet Zootv takes Levee, undoubtedly Edge owns Page in that performance infact I would love to lock ( in a hypothetical situation of course) Edge, Page, Hendrix, Clapton, Satriani, Zappa, SRV, BB King, Johnny Marr, John Squire and John Frusciante in a room and see what happens lol

 

[Aardvark747]

Have to go for Levee on this one
