When I was in high school, my brother-in-law gave me Led Zeppelin III for my birthday. I can remember playing Immigrant Song over and over again without paying much attention to the rest of the album. The other songs on the album didn't particularly interest me because they were too mellow. I was more into Zeppelin I, II and IV. Now, my tastes have changed (after having heard Immigrant Song just shy of 3,000 times) and III is now my favorite Zeppelin album. Maybe I'm just mellowing as I age.

Friends
There's not a bad song on this album.

Friends is a hidden gem, I think. I've always thought that the song sounds to sinister for lyrics about being nice to your friends.
Tangerine is a top ten of Zeppelin songs for me.
And Gallows Pole from this album is just sublime. This rendition is great:

I think that's Bonham's kid on the drums, and at about 2:20 he really starts reminding you who is dad is.
