No Picture Ben Average	#1 by Ben G. at Dec 6, 2005 at 6:27 AM EST
	I am guessing that he meant the list of songs when Philidephia Eagles said DB...because The Rain SOng is already in the list of songs...go there for more blogs...

No Picture Jeff Average	#2 by Jeff Mensch at Mar 18, 2006 at 7:17 AM EST
	I guess "iknoweverything" dosn't really know everything because this song is already in the DB.

No Picture lodger Wanna Be	#3 by lodger at Mar 27, 2006 at 6:18 PM EST
	Isn't sad to listen to this song and then listen to the music of our generation.....man, Led Zeppelin surely had 4 incredible musicians (the best at each instrument). Deep deep lyrics and beautiful music.

No Picture Night Wolf Average	#4 by Night Wolf at Mar 29, 2006 at 1:27 AM EST
	This is an awesome song with a great beat, but alas it was out done by Stairway. I personally think it doesn't appeal to certain people because you really can't understand certain lines like you can in Stairway. Oh, well Rain Song rocks none-the-less.

No Picture matthew Wanna Be	#5 by matthew dawkins at Apr 20, 2006 at 5:10 PM EST
	Most relaxing song ever written, piano part is the greatest piece of a song i've heard, up there with the bridge to Badge by Cream, Slash's intro on Sweet Child O' Mine, Flea's bass in Soul to Squeeze, and Jerry Cantrell's intro in I Stay Away. Can anyone else think of some other cool pieces of songs like the ones above?

No Picture Dan Wanna Be	#6 by Dan DeSantis at Apr 30, 2006 at 2:33 AM EST
	A BALLAD IS ---A narrative poem, often of folk origin and intended to be sung, consisting of simple stanzas and usually having a refrain. ------The music for such a poem. ------A popular song especially of a romantic or sentimental nature.

No Picture mathis Wanna Be	#7 by mathis jacobs at May 29, 2006 at 1:11 PM EST
	This is a perfect song. I think that this song is relating a persons love life to the seasons of the year. The guitar playing makes this song.

No Picture Rad Average	#8 by Rad Johnson at Jun 11, 2006 at 3:02 AM EST
	thats because emo sucks, as does most of the other music out there. One of the heaver bands i like is disturbed, they have alot of emotion in there songs, and in one song they get right down to the piano... songs like rise, remember, devour, and darkness by disturbed are really good... Anyway im trying to put a band of my buddies togather, we all love the classic stuff, zep, the doors, rolling stones, pink floyd, all major influences, and we jam alot, but since im in college and they are still in hs, its hard to practice, but we are going to make real rock and roll, and if we get big and famous one day, maybe it will put an end to all this commercial bs, anyway in about 10 years look for janus/mombasha not sure what to call the band yet

No Picture Cody Average	#9 by Cody Kempton at Jul 10, 2006 at 6:54 PM EST
	Yes this is a great great song, I love the guitar in it. Beautiful.

No Picture KETcH Average	#10 by KETcH UP at Jul 23, 2006 at 1:31 PM EST
	Fan of Zep 04-04-29 01:52:11 AM Zep forms absolutely the greatest lyricists ever. Their songs are different from everyone else, but theyre so DAMN GOOD! I cant rate this song as Zep has about 30 songs that can be considered their best. Zep will rock on forever! clytaemnestra 04-03-28 07:51:51 PM this song is absolutely beautiful...any guy who can write lyrics like these and orchestrate them the way page does is 100% fuckable GamecocksR4Real 04-03-09 03:29:56 AM This song is second, only to one song by Led. Since I've Been Loving You. Bogler 04-01-23 07:41:39 AM TMullen, dam dude, where the hell did you get that from? I don;t know if it's where this song came from, but it makes sense. Thats the best dong lyric description I have ever seen! Bogler 04-01-23 07:39:46 AM After 20+years of listening to this classic, it still never gets old. A top 3 Zep tune, along with "Going to California" and "Thats the Way" And for #'s 4 and 5, I put "Ten Years Gone" and "The Song Remains The Same" the_paladin 04-01-22 11:21:39 PM When someone asks me what i think the great love songs are....i always think of this song.... tmullen 03-11-15 04:45:08 AM Like the cycles of the mankind (1,000 years average). When the Prophet first appears it is like Springtime. They begin to warm the world and enlighten it (loving), but only a few can perceive it at first (so little warmth). Everyone feels the warmth, even if they do not know it's source (It isn't hard). The fire has been re-kinkled after the harsh winter (grew so low). When the generality of mankind receives the message of the Prophet it is like Summer and the sun is directly over head (smiles). All receive the light, the spirit is abundant and words are not needed (only with your eyes). Mankind received a precious gift (give this tune) and gloom flees. Mankind's spiritual winter is felt by all (coldness of my winter) and some give up waiting for the new Messenger would ever go). Even though the religion is dead, God still loves mankind (I love you so). These seasons come and go with every religion (rise and fall). Those that remain devoted will behold the mysteries of God and receive faith (torch we all must hold). The servants of God will all suffer some-what like the Prophets did (rain must fall). See the "Rain Song" (Krishna, Buddah, Zoroaster, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, Muhammad, & Baha'u'llah) rPlant 03-07-01 12:24:55 AM This is my favorite song. The song remains the same version of it is even better. rPlant 03-07-01 12:24:41 AM This is my favorite song. The song remain the same version of it is even better. HexHector 03-06-20 04:54:13 PM i have listened to this song for about tree days now. it perfectly describes life in a way that still sounds so good its unbelieveable. and they say dylan writes good lyrics. the lyrics along with the music make this my fav zep at this moment. pussmiauw 03-05-28 10:07:03 AM Another great composition. Awesome. The 4 Zepp are genius. Jimmy is the man who is the music!. ChloMeliss 03-05-22 04:43:45 AM sweet inspirational song. zeppelin knows how to make great up beat music and love songs. this is a great song and makes me wanna love someone again Lottie 03-04-07 01:11:48 PM This is one of the loveliest songs ever written. I've learned it on the piano and I can't listen to it for crying when it gets to the heavy bit.

No Picture bassmasta jnr Wanna Be	#16 by bassmasta jnr at Feb 15, 2007 at 7:35 PM EST
	One of my most favourite Zeppelin songs. It's just simply beautiful, and the climax at the end is.. well, there are no words to describe it.

No Picture Commander Cool Professional	#17 by Commander Cool at May 16, 2007 at 6:26 AM EST
	If someone gave me choice how would I want to die, I'ld say "I'ld like to die while listening to The Rain Song, No Quarter or Stairway to heaven"

No Picture Marco Average	#19 by Marco Torskyj at Aug 1, 2007 at 1:55 AM EST
	This is a Zep classic never to be forgotten! The satisfying mood this song puts you in; just a brilliant song. The piano/synth in the middle of this song is mind-blowing.
