Originally posted by Lucky View PostI recently had my wife's car for a week, so I made an MP3 disc of all the Zep albums and played it to the exclusion of everything else. It surprised me that I wound up at the same conclusion reached by the OP..."Ten Years Gone".
Numerous honorable mentions which I won't mention.

I'm still going with Kashmir"You know what's wrong with America? If I lovingly tongue a woman's nipple in a movie, it gets an "NC-17" rating, if I chop it off with a machete, it's an "R". That's what's wrong with America, man...."--Dennis Hopper

Since Mith insists on quantification*, here are some numbers: the Zeppelin picks in the Classic Rock Draft.
1.04 When the Levee Breaks
3.03 Stairway to Heaven
5.01 Whole Lotta Love
6.07 Hey Hey What Can I Do
13.10 Black Dog
19.08 How Many More Times
20.03 Tangerine
23.07 The Lemon Song
26.08 Achilles Last Stand (this was my pick, and I was also considering Ten Years Gone)
* -- I realize he doesn't, but it's a reducto ad absurdum of the specious argument that song quality follows some sort of objective standard.Originally posted by Kevin SeitzerWe pinch ran for Altuve specifically to screw over Mith's fantasy team.

but what went #1 in the Led Zeppelin draft? I believe took "When the Levee Breaks" at 1.04 in that one as well!"You know what's wrong with America?

Originally posted by johnnya24 View PostTen Years Gone is the kind of song you'll get hard-core type fans preferring ... probably because they've listened the more regular songs to death. Many year ago, I was surprised to find how many REM fans regarded Country Feedback as their favorite REM song. I love that song, especially the long rambling live version with Neil Young.

Those are their two best songs, IMO. I've had a revival of "Stairway" lately, trying to get my 12-year-old daughter into it. Not working with her, but I'm really digging it again after not really listening to it for years. All of Zeppelin IV sounds like the greatest thing in history to me lately.One martini, two martini, three martini, floor.

Originally posted by Erik View PostThis list indicates that three people took NO Zeppelin songs. And the songs surprisingly not taken, aside from Ten Years Gone, included Dazed and Confused, Kashmir, and No Quarter."I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth."
