Get the LED out!! What Led Zeppelin songs to include on the Stern LZLE

With such an amazing catalog of music one of the few bands that you can truly listen front to back of literally their entire catalog. How many songs will be included? What songs will be included ? What personal LED songs do you want to see included ? What Led Zeppelin songs work best for pinball.... The Beatles has what only 9 ? Aerosmith had also 9 ? I hope they don't limit the Led Zeppelin Pin to just 9 tracks...Although AC/DC I believe had 12 tracks. Would the LE have additional 1-3 songs ?! I'm curious as to thoughts of other members this would be my personal favorite list as to what I think would work best for the anticipated upcoming Led Zeppelin Pinball aka LZLE:

1: Whole Lotta Love - 1969
2: Black Dog - 1971
3. Ramble On - 1969
4. Good Times Bad Times - 1969
5. Immigrant Song - 1970
6. Rock and Roll - 1971
7. The Ocean - 1973
8. Over the Hills and Far Away - 1973
9. The Song Remains the Same - 1973
10. Fool in the Rain - 1979
11. Houses of the Holy - 1975
12. Moby Dick - 1969
13. Living Loving Maid (She’s Just a Woman) - 1969
14. In the Evening - 1979

**And I'm sure they will be included, But they wouldn't make my personal LZLE pinball song list... Stairway to Heaven & Kashmir.

I’d add Hey, Hey What Can I Do to your list. It’s a B-Side, but as good as anything else they released. So, in my opinion, a song that must be included.

Holy crap, there’s soooo many good songs. I agree, I hope they give 2 sets of songs to choose from. Black Knight lets you easily switch to an “alternate music” very easily in the menu.
This would be ideal.
Some old video clips from Song Remains the Same would be amazing too.

Although not my favorite song...I always imagined this pin would bring back a similar lift mechanism like in Banzai Run backbox / upper playfield for "Stairway to Heaven"... the ball would just keep raising up. Doesn't necessarily need to have an entire backbox playfield , just seeing the ball raise up in the backbox would be awesome.

Take this with a grain of salt but from what I’ve read throughout the Pinside rumor mill of people with really good sources it’s going to be a unique layout.

Also another which makes sense rumor is that they will try to time it with JJPs GnR.

Physical Graffiti double album, perfect songs for double the points or multiball.

I'm just afraid the Stern will only use a cover band for the Pro & Premium models and only give us the real songs on the LE, saving royalties on only having to sell 500 copies of the real thing....

I love LZ, and I think the art would be a fantastic fit for pinball. I’m just not convinced the music is a good fit. One of my favorite bands is Pink Floyd, and while I love their music, I don’t think it’s a good fit for pinball either.

The Rain Song is my favorite song of all time, but I don’t want to play pinball to it. I hope Stern uses songs like Black Dog or Kashmir. With ST rumored as the designer, I hope he doesn’t create an adrenaline-fueled layout with melodic rock operas.

Anyway, Stern is on a roll so I’m sure the game will be a blast either way.

Some of the music would work well, but not all. I agree it'd be tough to implement the Rain Song into an exciting mode. With S2H they'd have to do something like they did for Metallica's One - play the end solo for the mode instead of the slow beginning.

How Many More Times is a great B-side that would sound good in the game. Rock n Roll, Heartbreaker, Immigrant Song, the last half of Dazed and Confused, Fool in the Rain's instrumental... lots of good material for a pinball.

One thing to keep in mind, the whole songs do not need to be played for them to be used in a pinball machine.

For example, when you drain or the game ends part of Heartbreaker could be played.

Rush fuckin sucks!

Horrible vocals, boring over technical songs, overrated drumming (there I said it!), and of course, awful jr. high Lyndon LaRouche politics.

I guess Zep isn't so bad really in comparison. Just never really did it for me beyond a few songs like Immigrant Song and Good Times Bad Times.
