10 Best Led Zeppelin Songs Of All Time

7. The Ocean

The final track on Houses Of The Holy gives a rare songwriting credit to John Bonham who also performs equally rare backing vocals here. Bonham introduces the song with the refrain, €˜we€™ve done four already and now we€™re steady and then they went 1,2,3,4€€™ before the song explodes into life with a jagged Page riff, Bonham€™s tumbling drumming and Plant wistfully crooning about his daughter as well as the audiences they play to. The whole thing finishes with a delightful doo-wop and high fives all round. The 1973 live version presented here is one of their most definitive performances.
