1976: Nobody's Fault or It's Nobody's Fault but Mine?

[Texas King]

Take a pick between these two songs from 1976.

 

[That 70s Guy]

Led Zeppelin - It's Nobody's Fault but Mine

 

[Lynch]

the Zepp track is just about the only decent thing on that Presence album (yeah, I said it). Yet another remake/cover from LZ. It's a good tune, but it drags due to being too long. For exampleThat first minute of the intro could be cut down to 20 seconds and it wouldn't have taken anything away from the recording. Same with the ending, they could really drag out a song when they wanted to. Again, solid track and easily the best thing on Presence.

Aerosmith's Nobody's Fault rocks. I mean really rocks. Easily one of the heaviest tunes the band ever did. Everything about it is heavy. A song that very rarely gets or got radio play, which is a damn shame. One of the best tracks in their entire catalog.

Aerosmith easily gets my vote here

I agree wholeheartedly with @Lynch on this one.

Aerosmith by a long shot.

You don't rate "Achilles Last Stand" very highly in your book as most fans do?

I rate it as "HIGHLY overrated"

JPJ is good. Bonham is good. I find the song about 6 minutes too long and much of it is just blather. Ridiculous amount of overdubbing. It comes off to me as LZ's attempt at some form of heavy prog rock. It just falls flat for me, from start to finish

"Nobody's Fault". It's dark, brooding and swarthy. What's not to love?
