Since I've Been Loving You at #3.
I can live with that. It always been a favorite of mine.
What, no "Hot Dog" ???
"Everybody got to elevate from the norm."
No "D'Yer make her" either
Trampled gets my vote. Always did. "Talkin' free transmission, watch your head explode"

"Be good at what you can do" - Fingerbanger"
I have always felt that it is better to do what is beautiful than what is 'right'" - Eliot Fisk

"nobodys fault but mine" could easily replace 2 -3 of those imo. 8)
#4491....
What about "Babe I'm gonna leave you" ? Weird :shock: not in a the Poll
I've always liked Immigrant Song for some reason, though consider it a guilty pleasure. Hearing Jack Black do it confirmed the campiness, and just made me like it even more. "... hammer of the gods ..." indeed!
Don't really care that much about these polls, but it is nice to see StH not on top, as it's not even close to the best of Zep. Kashmir is a truly inspired tune -- remember being in the backseat with my date while that played ... and we really listened to the music. :wink:
Levee really tells where Zep came from musically. Which begs the question "WHAAAT! No Lemon Song?"
-=tension & release=-
I'm a little surprised that "Heartbreaker" didn't score higher. That's one of the BEST solos EVER, IMO. Pure, in-the-moment magic.
