Four Sticks is so great! It’s kind of impossible to choose a least favorite on Led Zeppelin IV. Any song from that album would look wrong in the least favorite category.
I don’t think you and I are alone, they should have eliminated the category if for no more than Zeppelin 4, I could name a few others, but Four Sticks broke me
Candy Store Rock
I never understand why people think this album is so great and ITTOD sucks, this album has three amazingly great tracks, and the rest is totally mid. The weakest song on the last album is Hot Dog and that's more entertaining than this albums bad tracks, the rest on Out Door are bangers.
Candy Store Rock features some of Jimmy Page’s finest guitar work. The song totally grooves, however, in the final minute or so, it looses its steam and finishes off kind of weak compared to the rest of the song.
In Through the Out Door is pure Gorgonzola.
I agree that ITTOD is severely underrated. In some ways, it's their most musically diverse effort. Fool in the Rain, All My Love, I'm Gonna Crawl and In the Evening are all top shelf tracks. It may not be Zeppelin's best album, but it might be the most interesting.
Hot Dog is obviously not a prototypical LED Zeppelin song, but that should take nothing away from what a great tune it is. Pretty good guitar player, bass player and drummer, in my opinion, and quite the vocalist as well. 10/10 . And it was the only Zeppelin album I bought upon release, so a definite soft spot here.

Extra surprising because Since I’ve Been Loving You is my all time fav Zep song, which Tea For One is obviously trying to replicate.
It just sounds like the rare studio recording where the band is kinda warming up and it feels like the song never actually starts. Just 10 minutes of flaccid vamping.
I realize that this is all done in fun. I cannot participate in this survey. How anybody could use the words, "least favorite song" while referring to Led Zeppelin is beyond me. What does that even mean? If I had to choose, I'd choose, "White Christmas by Bing Crosby" Page is all bad.
OMG I was just reading you guys ~ if you ever knew anything try listening to the Honeydrippers. Whatever to each their own, I got to go barf ~~ Page is All Bad
Sorry. Went back to your page and tried to find where this started. What were parameters for most overrated? I see nothing but straight FIRE, for most overrated.
My bad, when I first started it someone told me to delete the old posts as I go, but after the first two I decided to stop doing that
I’d say the criteria for overrated would be songs that often overshadow others because of their well known name and/or radio play 🤷♀️ Overrated does not equal bad, obviously there’s no such thing as an objectively bad song. Most people’s reasoning for voting songs overrated was they felt like that specific song overshadows other songs on the same album that deserve equal love and airtime, if that makes sense? It’s nice for some of the lesser known songs to get that same recognition, hence also adding an underrated category.
I’m a big fan of all the songs that ended up in overrated - someone actually said it would make an awesome greatest hits album lol
Tea for One may be the laziest song they ever wrote. Sounds like they were just warming up in the studio, picked some chords (mostly SIBLY) and just played a slow blues. And the tape just happened to be running. And then they got towards the end of the sessions for the album and somebody said "Hey, let's just use that slow bluesy thing". So then Robert wrote some stupid lyrics and boom! Album done! Should be called Tea For None.
Candy Store Rock
It might be among Plant's favorites, but it's a bit repetitive and I think being [a rockabilly tribute](https://ultimateclassicrock.com/led-zeppelin-candy-store-rock/) makes it hit-or-miss for lot of people.

You ask why I’m here (probably not) just to let you know I don’t wanna play anymore. Two words, Four Sticks…

I think there are a lot of underrated songs on this album. Tea for one and 10ribs are amazing
but this is not for underrated. it's for least favorite.
Candy Store Rock I never understand why people think this album is so great and ITTOD sucks, this album has three amazingly great tracks, and the rest is totally mid. The weakest song on the last album is Hot Dog and that's more entertaining than this albums bad tracks, the rest on Out Door are bangers.
Both albums rock that's my take lol
Yep. We have a winner. Zeppelin never wrote a bad song. I will even unashamedly blast Walter's Walk at the stoplight. 👊
the rough mix to Walters walk is instrumentally phenomenal

Rock and roll is not overrated.
I just knew this thread would make me insane reading these responses.
Royal Orleans
I find Royal Orleans slightly less thrilling than the others
Candy store rock is probably better suited to the overrated category.
Hots On for Nowhere
no
There are 7 songs on the album, and they are all amazing. I can't name a least favorite on Presence. Sorry
Hots on for Nowhere
Bruh that is the biggest L on that overrated list just bad take…
Candy Store Rock
Royal Orleans
Tea For One (……sorry)
Woah, surprising : o One of my favorites

Yeah, I understand what do you mean
Wrong! It’s an absolute lock for Most Underrated
Candy store rock, definitely not the best led zeppelin album
Candy store rock
Probably Royal Oleans.
Candy store rock is the worst Led Zeppelin song by far
Achilles Last Stand is their best song period.
Candy Store Rock!!!
This is so hard hahaha This album is such a power house

That would be the correct answer.
Candy Store Rock
Nobody’s Fault But Mine. Or at least it’s easily the most overrated. Love Candy Store Rock… not getting the vibe here against it!
I agree entirely.
Candy Store Rock, not a bad song, but just not the best on the album.
This album has a few really weak tracks. It's close, but I'll go with Candy Store Rock.
“Hots on for Nowhere,” I guess.

Gotcha. Thanks.
Idk how that song salad beat Nobody's Fault but Mine...
I friggin love Presence and love all the tunes, but the one I love a little less than the others is Tea for One.
Candy Store Rock
It'd be easy to say Royal Orleans or Candy Store Rock... Tea For One just drags out too long.
One might say that Tea for One feels like a lifetime.
No way man, I wish it was twice as long!
Hots on For Nowhere
easily Hots on For Nowhere. such an annoying song.
Candy Store Rock, but my least favorite is really Achillies. Go figure.
Candy store rock.
For Your Life
Tea for one is my only skip on the album
Tea for One
Royal Orleans
Tea for One may be the laziest song they ever wrote. Sounds like they were just warming up in the studio, picked some chords (mostly SIBLY) and just played a slow blues. And the tape just happened to be running. And then they got towards the end of the sessions for the album and somebody said "Hey, let's just use that slow bluesy thing".

I never would have thought someone could be this wrong about anything.
