This song is outlandish. From the very first drumming you can figure out it's gonna be something of once in a lifetime! Plus, Robert's performance gave me shivers. So emotional!
Best beat of all time. It's amazing opening up.
Beat classic rock band of time.

I think this should be on 1. Whenever I listen to this song my attention directly goes to drum beats... It doesn't happen in any other song

This song is amazing! Led Zeppelin's best. It truly takes you to another place when you listen to it and you can imagine yourself walking through a scorching desert. The drumming in this song is some of the best I've ever heard, it makes the song and without it wouldn't even be half as good. Amazing songwriting and pure talent throughout.



I love the drum beat on When the Levee Breaks, but this sounds like someone shooting a machine gun In the background. Awesome. Bonham's best song by far.


The song title defines the genre. Rock-steady pile-driving drums from Bonzo, a busy, ever-changing melange of sound from Jimmy (never plays it the same way twice) that bears listening to again and again in each version, Robert sounding like every heavy rock singer you ever wanted to sound like, John Paul effortlessly keeping up with whatever complexity Jimmy is laying down and enhancing.
The quintessential air-guitar song, "Rock and Roll" would get dead people on their feet. I defy anyone to listen to this without at least tapping their feet. I played the "Song Remains The Same" DVD version for my 83-year-old mother: she was rapt all the way through.
Classic, unsurpassed, unequalled, raw power and fire. I love it.
Amazing driving kick drum with excellent timing. The syncopation between bass guitar and drums is very special.
I love the drum solo I'm the beginning!

This song is a whole DRUM SOLO people and is better than Moby Dick in my opinion. And don't forget about Out On The Tiles and Immigrant Song.
Why in bloody hell is this song so far down on the list? The whole song is a solo! It should at least be in the top 5 if not number 1

Deserving contestant, at least when drum beats are concerned.

The quintessential example of the "Bonham Shuffle"!
Bonham was the best in Rock ever, hands down!

The drumming by John Bonham is absolutely amazing in this song. Just take another listen to it if you hadn't noticed.
In my opinion one of the best by far, along with Achilles Last Stand, and No Quarter.
Bonzo rips up the middle section.

How can the best bass solo be in 6# place?!
I thought this would be first!
This should be #1




Drums and Guitar Riff are just insane!

I play the drums and it's the beat I'm working on!



The beat matches the song perfectly for Bonham to be able to pound that snare in between riffs. Awesome!


Bonzo's heavy aggressive drumming accompanied by the hand clapping is heard on this boogie woogie acoustic song.

I find it very catchy. I want to learn how to play it very badly. John Bonham, come back
