Best ever Rock song

I'll sort of go with you with Immigrant song and Stairway and possibly Baba O'reilly. The others are all undisputed classics but it's down to taste. I'm off to Rock Hell.

No sir, you're quite clearly safe in the afterlife --- people who like Red, Red Wine and Come On Eileen are off to Rock Hell.

Ahem.

The evidence against Led Zep is that, in rock and roll Heaven, lyrics count too, and rock and roll songs with lyrics that appear to have been penned by either a 15 year-old lovesick girl or a 16 year-old Dungeons & Dragons playing boy carry a lot less weight than "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss."

Also, as much as I love Kashmir, rock and roll Heaven does not recognize a suite of violins as having the same gravitas as a Fairlight or, in this case, a Lowery organ.

On personal note, I prefer The Ocean and the epic When the Levee Breaks (which was an old blues cover) along with Kashmir to the other LZ tunes you refer to.

I actually like the blues covers better than the more mainstream rock. Dazed and confused, since I’ve been loving you, most of the other stuff on zep 1. Hendrix, zep, cream live stuff all wonderful. Liked tommy and quadraphenia very much and live at Leeds is a brutal album. Not sure I’m with you on the lyrics though. Bass and drums. Lead guitar. Rock god vocals is what does it for me.
