    I've never been too good wit the word funky..b,121b,121'Out on the Tiles' might interest you as well as 'Black Dog' and 'When the Levee Breaks' (tho you probably already know the last two).. I think III is pretty mellow besides the track that I mentuioned and II might have some stuff that would interest you..hope that helps!

    font class="post"1b,121b,121The classic rock format plays certain songs to death, and there's still a bit of stuff to find on those albums. Arguably, that's their "funkiest" song in terms of honoring something with a James Brown groove (John Bonham was heavily influenced by his records, but there's stuff like "The Wanton Song" and "Trampled Underfoot" from Physically Graffiti[/b] that you may be into. Or if anything, just listen to the drum and bass work in "How Many More Times" and especially "Immigrant Song".

    "D'yer Maker" is a pretty funky track. Plus, you can find the 45 at record barns for like a buck.

    font class="post"1b,121b,121For those who have the CD, extract the song, then play it at 48000 instead of 44100 to hear its proper speed. Same for "When The Levee Breaks", all of which were recorded with the tape machine at a slightly faster speed, so when returned to normal, it would sound more "bluesy".b,121b,121

    font class="post"1b,121b,121I think so. This hits me the same way "Heartbreaker" does. Heavy riffs that are still kinda funky. That's my favorite Zep shit. I can take or leave the ballady wizard stuff.

    There's really no other Zeppelin quite the same as "The Crunge", but that's because that song was their tribute to James Brown's sound. Nonetheless, there are other Zep tracks with good grooves to them. You just have to focus more on the bass and drums, Jimmy Page didn't often play the jangly grooving James Brown-ish guitar like on "The Crunge". John Bonham was very influenced by American R&B though so there's strong elements of that in a lot of his drumming. Here's some songs I think have good grooves:b,121b,121object width="425" height="344"1param name="movie" value=""1/param1param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"1/param1embed src="" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"1/embed1/object1b,121b,121That's probably the closest thing to "The Crunge" you'll find elsewhere in the Zeppelin catalog. It's a Ben E. King cover so it's a bit more R&B-based than most Zeppelin originals.b,121b,121object width="425" height="344"1param name="movie" value=""1/param1param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"1/param1embed src="" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"1/embed1/object1b,121b,121Listen to the bass guitar on that one especially...and the breakdown starting at about 3 minutes in. The bass and drums get pretty filthy there, and also at about 4:35 into it.b,121b,121b,121object width="425" height="344"1param name="movie" value=""1/param1param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"1/param1embed src="" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"1/embed1/object1b,121b,121b,121This one's from "Presence", one of the odder Zeppelin albums, but coincidentally also one of my favorites.b,121b,121b,121object width="425" height="344"1param name="movie" value=""1/param1param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"1/param1embed src="" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"1/embed1/object1b,121b,121b,121This one's not really "funky", per se, but it's got a hell of a groove.b,121b,121b,121object width="425" height="344"1param name="movie" value=""1/param1param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"1/param1embed src="" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"1/embed1/object1b,121b,121b,121Go to about 1:45 into this. Another one with a pretty sweet bass guitar part. John Paul Jones really got overshadowed in the band but was a great musician.b,121b,121b,121object width="425" height="344"1param name="movie" value=""1/param1param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"1/param1embed src="" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"1/embed1/object1b,121b,121object width="425" height="344"1param name="movie" value=""1/param1param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"1/param1embed src="" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"1/embed1/object1b,121b,121object width="425" height="344"1param name="movie" value=""1/param1param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"1/param1embed src="" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"1/embed1/object1
