Pete

you heard me

And All Of My Love is clearly the most underrated.

going into the tournament (it's been a long time since I dove into their catalog so this may change coming out) my top 10 (not in order) are


Gallows Pole
Black Dog
Rock and roll
Battle of Evermore
Stairway to Heaven
Misty Mountain Hop
Going to California
When the Levee Breaks
Over the Hills...
Fool in the Rain


Obviously 4 is my strong favorite.

Honorable mentions to Whole Lotta Love, What is and What Should Never Be, Living Loving Maid, ramble On, Immigrant Song, Bron-Y-Aur Stomp, Song Remains the Same, Dancing Days, Custard Pie, Houses of the Holy, Trampled Under Foot, Kashmir, and Hey Hey What can I Do

Historically I've had little interest in Presence or In Through the Out Door, so we'll see if that's changed over time

Top 5 (probably):

Achilles Last Stand
When the Levee Breaks
Tea for One
Nobody's Fault But Mine
Trampled Underfoot

Achillies Last Stand
Since I've Been Loving You
When the Levee Breaks
Immigrant Song
What is and What Should Never Be

For the killer-ass pounding riff rock machine that they are, you could pretty easily convince me that their two best songs are Ten Years Gone and Rain Song.

when the levee breaks is my prediction for the winner

As much as I think it's absolutely outstanding, I'm alarmed by all this over-the-top love for Achilles. Makes me want to see it go down b/c I'm ruthless like that.

No order top 10

Good Times Bad Times
Thank You
Living Loving Maid
Ramble On
Tangerine
Stairway to Heaven
Misty Mountain Hop
When the Levee Breaks
D'yer Maker
No Quarter

If Tangerine gets the right matchups it could be the dark horse of the tourney.

That might be my second favorite Zep song, right after When the Levee Breaks.

I'd love Fool in the Rain if it wasn't for that fucking whistle.

Fun Fact: Fool In The Rain is my personal favorite song of all time. Whistle included.

I'm listening to it right now. It's pretty fucking great. I need to adjust the top 10 I just posted. But seriously, fuck that whistle.

Even though it's about heartbreak, there's nothing more life-affirming for me.

Achilles Last Stand
Since I’ve Been Loving You
Dazed and Confused
No Quarter
The Song Remains the Same

Rain Song
Levee
Ten Years Gone
Kashmir
Ramble On
Going To California
Battle of Evermore
What Is and What Should Never Be
Dancing Days
Houses Of The Holy
Tangerine
Hey Hey What Can I Do
Thank You
Gallows Pole
Misty Mountain Hop

Couldn’t just stop at 5...or 10.

yeah i would need more time to do mine.

I listened to Zeppelin the most in my later teens through my early to mid 20s. It's been a really long time since I've heard most of these songs.
