Re: 44. When the Levee Breaks vs. Ten Years Gone
Ten Years Gone is pretty good (as I've said before, I'm often not a huge fan of their ballad side), but When the Levee Breaks is just an absolute monster. All the praise that is heaped upon Achilles Last Stand really belongs here.

Well, fuck me. I'm going to have to vote on this one after I have a few tonight.
Also, TYG is not a goddamn ballad.

This one will take some thinking. I'm torn between the compositional sophistication of "Ten Years Gone" and the raw power of the performance in "Levee."

A worth final here. TYG by a merest of margins.

Oh man, why did these two have to run into each other now? Stip, your black magic knows no bounds.
I gotta go with Ten Years Gone because there's just so much there to unpack. But When the Levee Breaks is the type of song I wouldn't mind winning this whole thing.
Stip's black tourney magic is tying me in knots.

Re: 44. When the Levee Breaks vs. Ten Years Gone
I hate that this match has already happened. This was a dream semifinal for me.
And, as much as I love TYG, I still have to go with Levee. It just lays waste to everything in its path. I'm not sure I could honestly pick any other song over it in this tournament.

When the Levee Breaks is Zeppelin’s best song.

Achilles Last Stand is probably the only song I'd vote for over Levee. TYG is pathetic by comparison.

When the Levee Breaks is like THE Zeppelin song (aside from Achilles), but I might have to toss Ten Years Gone the pity vote.

Re: 44. When the Levee Breaks vs. Ten Years Gone
This is tough. I think TYG is the better song and I can get lost in all the guitar tracks but Levee is epic tone on all fronts. Levee is like 'shrooms, don't want them all the time but when the time is right there's nothing better.
Think I’m going to try being kind to everyone a chance.

Just listen to ten years gone again. This matchup should have been the finals.
