I like the Rover, but this an easy vote for the Ocean. It's a weird in that's got a bunch of separate parts that feel like they were cobbled together from other songs, but they're all really good so who cares. I love the outro

The Ocean is going to win this and Im going to be pissed. I absolutely love the Rover. The distinctly 70's main riff to start the song that drops down into a distinctly zeppelin sound... and that fucking solo is fucking perfect.

This is the best match-up yet, but The Ocean is probably my second favorite song so far. The Ocean

Classic intro to a perfect rock ‘n’ roll riff.

The Ocean no contest.

That opening riff in The Ocean is one of the best ever and The Rover sucks.

I think pretty much everything on Houses of the Holy is kinda meh. The Ocean, Dancing Days, and Over the Hills and Far Away just have not held up for me at all.

I don't like Over the Hills or The Rain Song (zzzzz) but the rest is some of my favourite LZ material.

The Rover because it reminds me of the time my late cousin and I put on Physical Graffitti and drove around late at night smoking weed feeling like a couple of badasses. We did this slowed down swagtastic headbang to the main riff, it was hilarious.
