Nobody's fault but mine
Nobody's fault but mine
Trying to save my soul tonight
It's nobody's fault but mine
Devil he told me to roll
Devil he told me to roll
How to roll the log tonight
Nobody's fault but mine
Brother he showed me the gong?
Brother he showed me the ding dong ding dong
How to roll, the log tonight
Oh, it's nobody's fault but mine
Got a monkey on my back
Got a monkey on my back
Gonna change my ways tonight
Nobody's fault but mine
I will get down rollin' tonight
Nobody's fault
Nobody's fault but mine
Trying to save my soul tonight
It's nobody's fault but mine
Devil he told me to roll
Devil he told me to roll
How to roll the log tonight
Nobody's fault but mine

Absolutely, unequivocally, the best damn Led Zeppelin song ever! Insane drumming, screaming harmonica, Robert's incredible vocals, Jimmy's mercurial guitar work. What's not to love?
Wie niemand sonst verbindet John Bonham Wucht mit Geschmeidigkeit.
Wahnsinn.
Wahnsinn.
While I agree with all that everyone is saying about JB and JP, let's not overlook the killer bass playing by JPJ on this one. I don't know how he and JB stay in perfect synch. Superhuman.

Bonham was doing things before a whole lot of people glommed onto his chops. His triplet patterns (especially on the kick), his phrasings, his interplay on the hats, timings, dynamics, and how he got his sounds were far ahead of plebs and many established pros alike.
It fit in great with what JPJ and Jimmy were doing, or they would often adapt their play to Bonham's - because it just worked.
The thing with Bonham was he made it sound easy or that it was meant for a particular song or at a certain point. If you hear Zeppelin played without the Bonhamisms it doesn't sound so much like Zeppelin anymore.
There aren't many bands' drummers you can say that about.
Thank you for making me listen more closely to this particular tune.

One of the absolute best Led Zeppelin songs. Yeah! Crank up the volume!

Try to explain to someone who didn't grow up in the 1970s about how drumming like this, and from Moon, Watts, and Baker elevated the standards so high...that you always expected it.
We got soooooooooooooo spoiled.
Makes that Dave Grohl (self appointed rnr guru) look like an amateur.

Excellent!
The BEST jammer to put on late at night to wake souls up, get them up and dancing and belting out, "-n-n-n-nuh-NObody's fault but mine..."
If you don't like this, its Nobody's fault but yours! 
Quite a few comments on here have focussed on Bonham's drumming. I agree, it's superb here... but for a weird (for Zeppelin) reason: sure, they're powerful here, as he always is. But I find his precision on this song to be just out of this world: his bass drum pedal is just spot-on, especially with those triplets he effortlessly taps-out.
In this song he also knew exactly when to hold back and play things more sparingly and simply.
My goodness, what a fantastic drummer.
That's all I got. Carry on.

Many years ago I found out the hard way that this song can bring policemen to your door on a nice, sunny afternoon if you live in an apartment complex...
This is the embodiment of my HS Jr year: Getting stoned in the freak parking lot, Zeppelin's Presence on the cassette deck at full volume, the Resource Officer prowling the lot looking for miscreants... Paradise.
Oh Robert!
Thanks BillG for digging deep. This is what makes RP special
Very under-rated LZ album, the whole thing
Gotta listen to it again. V raw

What he said. I can't play drums, but I can damn sure listen to performers. I don't think there's a better drummer in the rock world than Bonham. The unconventional, the sheer uniqueness.....you just know who you're hearing play. All those other names mentioned are superior players, too. (I would throw in Clem Burke, Mick Fleetwood and Pete Thomas, for others.) But, Bonzo beats 'em best!"Bonham couldn't swing a dead cat" Ginger Baker

These three are at the forefront. Awesome all, each unique, powerful, daring and distinctive.
I've often wondered about the eccentricities and compulsions of them. Excesses of booze and dope and attempting to stab a bandmate... To be so gifted and passionate and yet so clinically disturbed, addicted, delusional. Maybe that adage is true: a light that burns twice as bright burns half as long.

Presence was considered to the Zep's weakest album - just goes to show even rock gods on a bad day still created timeless music. We had tickets to catch the Zep show in Montreal (I'm thinking it was winter/spring 1981), and Bonham had to off himself and they cancelled the show. The only solace we could take was watching the US trounce Russia at Lake Placid, it was fortunate to have room mates who lived in Saranac Lake, we had access that the general public did not (now that I think of it that was the year before). Still, it was a good time to be in college.

Well stated. As I said, he was a great drummer. And from what you've pointed out, I may need to rethink my opinion about him not being revolutionary. This also goes to me kicking myself for not paying more attention to LZ during my youth when they were at their peak.
And I would add Neil Peart to the list of drummers whose bands would not sound the same without them.

I think Bonham was not quite human. He was his own genus species. He attacked it, made love and war at the same time.

"Technical" prowess doesn't really matter in rock and roll, but "not inspirational"? John Bonham inspired hundreds - if not thousands - of drummers. Keith Moon may be the only other rock drummer who inspired more.

He's in the pantheon of all time greats, for sure.
This song is in the pantheon, too- turn it up to 11!
If Keith Moon had three arms to explain his fanatic drumming, then John Bohnam had only two arms but they were sledge hammer arms. Nobody sounds like this.

WICKED PHOTOS JAGDRIVER! THANK YOU!!!
Ahhh... the days before arena rock. Here's Jimmy onstage at Detroit's Grande Ballroom with the Yardbirds.
Note that the late Dick Wagner's (Alice Cooper, Lou Reed) Frost were also on the bill, as were the MC5,
credited by the likes of the Clash as having invented punk rock. Members of the Stuart Avery Assemblage
jammed with the Yardbirds onstage afterward.
Sadly, my time in the musical purgatory of commercial radio before finding my way to Radio Paradise has ruined some Led Zeppelin for me through overplay.
This song is NOT one of those.

Heaven.

I've sort of outgrown this song, but there is still a bunch of great LZ stuff that I love. Are you sure you want to throw out the baby with the bath water?
I never thought I'd say such a thing but... I'm actually getting tired of Led Zeppelin.

Just listened to a Robert Plant interview from 1988, and he mentioned that he had quit smoking the year before, and hasn't had any drugs in 11 years. That means that he was drug free by the time this song was recorded. He was always a smart one. Too bad Jimmy didn't do the same.

Somehow I have crossed over to an age where I would rather not hear Zeppelin. Grates on me now, sorry to say.

I used to BLAST this on every car stereo I ever had, and one memorable time, I wired up some big-assed home speakers to a high-power amp and deck I had in my '61 Impala, put them on top of it, and cranked it up in a big park while playing Frisbee and drinking beer with a buddy, and many passing people pulled over and joined in! We had a dozen discs flying among a parkful of partiers; FUN!

pure joy
A 9 on the rock and roll Richter scale.
A 20 on the stereo volume scale.
Bonham was out of his mind good.

Good Gawd!...that harmonica solo intro?....straight from the darkest depths. The whole thing sounds best loud.
A non-believer asks "Is there such a thing as a god?"
The believer answers "Yes, a rock god"
Amen to that!!

Awesome! I have not heard this for years. The entire album was one of my favourites growing up.
This one goes to 11
I was just thinking this morning "It's been so long since I heard Led Zeppelin on Radio Paradise, wish they played it more."
Zep can be overplayed, but I do like hearing their more "obscure" material from Physical Grafitti, Zep III and Presence. Lots of cool stuff on this release which is kind of the forgotten Zep LP.

These jokers played in Tampa Stadium back in 1977. This was the show that got them banned from Florida for ten years. They only played three songs that day and what was the last song? This one!
It figures! It was all their fault that they left that day. So the two times I saw them in concert weren’t very good.

Absolutely, unequivocally, the best damn Led Zeppelin song ever! Insane drumming, screaming harmonica, Robert's incredible vocals, Jimmy's mercurial guitar work. What's not to love?
While I agree with your descriptions, there is no "best". The LZ catalog of music is just too damn good to have a "best".
