10 Best Led Zeppelin Songs Of All Time

4. Going To California

This was Led Zeppelin, and Plant in particular, at their most reflective. This wistful folk ballad from Led Zeppelin IV is rumoured to be about Joni Mitchell and Plant€™s musical obsession with her. His vocal is delivered with an airy melancholy alongside Page€™s gorgeous finger-picking guitar. It€™s a contemplative breather towards the end of their fourth album and is arguably their finest folk song. The live version here is from Zep€™s 1975 Earl€™s Court show with Plant looking every inch the golden god he genuinely thought he was at the time.
