Stairway is too mellow to be best rock song. It's top 3 for best ever song, but not rock song.

This song is too amazing to be rated merely at number 12.
This is the second best Led Zeppelin song. It contains thing that only Led Zeppelin themselves would, for example, the dark interlude in the middle with Bonham's dark eerie drumming with PLant's roaring vocals mimicing Page's guitar. It starts out slowly then turns into an epic solo. This song fully exemplifies Led Zeppelin's great skill and talent.
Absolutely the most mind-blowing song they ever made.

This song is very soothing to me. The overall tone of the instruments encompass what the song is about and I feel that this song has not gotten the notice and appreciation from the masses like many other of Led Zeppelin's songs. I actually use this song to help me sleep sometimes because I, like many others, can relate to what's being talked about in the song, and, like I said previously, the song is soothing. 5/5 star song yet it remains #9.
should be listed waay higher. chords are so beautiful, they make you cry.

This is a very laid-back, almost folk-sounding song from Led Zeppelin IV and is very different from most of the band's other work. The mandolin in this song is absolutely beautiful.

"in my opinion, this is zeppelin at their best,
The opening guitar is like a punch in the face. It's fierce. It's heavy. It's zeppelin.
Well put. This song shows how led zep really is.
"We've done four already, but now we're steady, and then they went, 1,2,3,4...!
I like how he sings the riff it sounds awesome its also a classic you gotta love it its zeppelin
this is easily a top ten song, you don't hear it very often though. Great song to jam to.
Don't vote until you hear this
Listen to sampleWHAT?! But what about the riff I mean GEEZ it's a great song!
lilbullet111
Wow is all have to say for this song! Its so catchy and awesome!
I LOVE the guitar riff and the kind of crazy, fast, psycho feel it has to it!
So energetic and full of life! 5 stars!
The fact the That mastermind Page can factor a mandolin into a rock song and the lyrics are mystic... Maybe not #1 but it should be in the top 10
incredible zeppelin song, one of the best from led zeppelin 4 give it a listen sometime
The Battle Of Evermore is an amazing Led Zeppelin Song, no matter what jIMMY PAGE plays he makes it sound incredible I love this song to death and should be top 15.
More comments about The Battle of EvermoreListen to sampleThis is probably my favorite by led Zeppelin I mean I literally have all of their songs on my iPod and all of their vinyls they are all rock. Roll gods!
Axl rose liked this song too! I think that this song is so cool and it sounds all jamicany and sha man! Geesus christ I think its second best, stairway to heaven will always be number uno
Listen to sampleHow can this be so low? It's absolutely great. Just listen to the riff and the vocals. One of my favourites surely!
This is so underrated. I discovered this song and now it's my 2nd favorite of theirs behind Stairway. How's that for opposite ends of the spectrum? Stairway is the most famous, while this song is pretty much unknown. Yet, they are both amazing
Should be higher up, in my opinion.
8:30 of pure eargasms. I love how it starts out softly then the guitars roll in with the riff. Can't forget of course the amazing drum beat and and twists and turns in this song.
Actually, it IS the best. If you watch the LZDVD, you'll see how amazing he is. Greatest drummer who ever lived.
not the best but an awesome drum solo

Listen to samplethe most incredible acoustic song of led zeppelin
Led Zeppelin are one of my favourite bands of all time, so it's pretty hard to pick a favourite. I ain't gonna be popular in saying this but I am not the biggest fan of Physical Graffiti. It's awesome, but in my opinion it is their worst album bar Presence, In through the out door and Coda. In my eyes, here are the albums in order of greatness.
1. ) Houses Of The Holy (1973)
2. ) Led Zeppelin II (1969)
3. ) Led Zeppelin IV (1971)
4. ) Led Zeppelin (1969)
5. ) Led Zeppelin I (1970)
6. ) Physical Graffiti (1975) (Istill belive this is excellent)
7. ) Presence (1976) Much like Physicl Graffiti.
8. ) In Through The Out Door (1979)
9. ) Coda (1982)
Anyway, Led zeppelin I is an awesome album containing lots of a coustic tracks. This song of all Led zeppelin songs makes me cry it is so beautiful.
this is by far a classic, you can never say one is number one, they all are
More comments about TangerineListen to sampleAlthough not very known, this song is a very powerful rock song
Listen to sampleThe best love song of Led Zeppelin written by Plant for his wife... Got some good acoustic action by Page and really good drumming by Bonzo, not to mention the organ solo by JPJ
I was stunned when I looked on this list and this song was not in the top ten. It is the most melodic piece zeppelin ever performed and is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. I deserves a spot in the top ten.
Great love song with heartfelt singing from plant... Makes me cry whenever I listen it.
More comments about Thank YouListen to sampleThis song is a classic
its gotta be higher up
come on guys this song absolutely rocks!
This song is so underrated its not even funny should be top 10 along with In the Evening. LED ZEP>
More comments about Trampled Under FootListen to sampleVery original introduction. Awesome through and through. It is a song to sit back and chill to. This should be higher on the list.
Very original intro with an outstanding solo.
Listen to sampleGreat song with heavy guitar and a solo smooth like butter on bread.
The opening guitar-riff, an immediate psychedlic transe
PaulCeasrine
just a plain under-rated song. The opening guitar-riff puts you in a
psychedlic transe
That this song still isn't in the top... Ten...
Can you please kill me so I don't have to know...
Really underrated.
Love the time alternative signature and Latin feel. Led Zeppelin were real musicians who continued to push their musical boundaries. John Bonham's shuffle beat lays down a real slinky groove...
Relish this classic track.
fool in the rain is one of my favorite zeppelin songs! it should be in the top ten
678rob754
One of the most upbeat rock songs ever written. Fun lyrics and incredible drumming.
More comments about Fool in the RainListen to sampleI don't understand why this is down so low I grew up listening to this its probly their best song I love it hands down
Its Zeppelins best song, hands down. That riff makes me feel good, and my day is just much better every time I hear that song.

Listen to sampleA hidden gem on In Through the Out Door. Zep at their bluesy best. Some of Plant's best vocals.
another song that a lot of people overlook, it is a love song like no other. Robert Plant's lyrics are so deep and the slow tempo is just too perfect! the last ten seconds are very emotional to me cause Robert says his final line "Im gonna crawl... " then its followed by John Paul Jones' beautiful mellotron, this is the very last song on their last studio album and although the ending is amazing, it just doesn't feel right for led zeppelin's ending.
R.I.P John Bonham
Totally awesome, WAY too low on the list, awesome acoustic guitar solo
Very underrated, I mean seriously HOW MANY OF YOU KNEW THIS SONG BEFORE SEEING IT ON THIS LIST?! Poor Tom is also the song with almost like, the best drumming ever.
Listen to sampleI want a slice of this custard pie.

I'm actually offended that this song is number 43 and Kashmir Immigrant Song and Achilles Last Stand are so high.
This wonderful song is unreasonably low on the list. Great ballad! Or maybe it's just me, loving it for the sad lyrics?
Listen to sampleSimply Amazing! Page's guitar sings throughout the whole song and plants vocal is amazing: not to forget Bonzo and Jonesy. My favourite song on Presence.
Have to agree simply amazing, check out Joe Bonamassa's cover possibly as good if not better.
Listen to sampleThumbs of for the worst song of led zeppelin! Ok its not the worst one but its the lower one on the list lo
Listen to sampleThe dark opening, the heavy riff, the buildup, the otherworldly guitar sequences, capped by an ending of indescribable and stunning freedom-epitomizing guitar playing make for the greatest song of all time. Led Zeppelin's best moment
Just absolutely amazing, this is one of my favourite songs, reminds me of the times I used to indulge in a little bit of the Caribbean woodbines, Thank you Robert ^^ Jimmy for those fond memories.
Above and beyond anything this band has ever done. As RObert Plant said "In The Light is our finest moment. "

More comments about In the LightListen to samplelook up any "top 10 led zeppelin" list and I guarantee you that none of them will have this song. Why is it on my list? Well in through the outdoor was basically John Paul Jones' album, he really brought out the best of him and in my opinion this song is proof of that.
So creative! I love all the musical story of the song, I mean Since the intro till the last sound It makes me wonder is any musician able to repeat that ideas?
Listen to sampleGod, Robert is so hot on that one! Every time I hear this song I gotta dance
not the best but a great very underrated song
DylanBr00ks
Listen to sampleI was surprised there were no comments for this song... Apart from me... I listened to this song and instantly became the fan to the phenomenon called led Zeppelin... Great chorus.. Guitar... 5/5 from me...
It's hard to choose the best song of Led Zeppelin but I decided that Down by the Seaside is my favorite. I love the music especially.
Listen to sampleRobert Plant's voice at its best. Extremely underrated song. I had to pick one song and I when straight to this one. For what reasons do I think this one is the best in my book? Because of Plant's vocals and Page's unorthodox guitar melodies. Give it a good listen. You'll love it.
Listen to sampleUnbelievable riff! Why this song is not a radio staple is beyond comprehension! Absolutely magical.
Richie
You can hear the 'real talent' of Robert Plant. Seriously, he's got the best voice in the earth. The guitar, harmonica and clavier are amazing too.
Listen to sampleGreatest guitar solo of all time. Ever. Joe Satriani gets up there, but just how Page plays White Summer is incomprehensible.
Definitely not their best song - I'd chose many others beforehand. However, this one's got some of the most vital and distinguished performances Plant had to offer in his latter years with Zeppelin. His vehement phrasing is just catchy. Page's rhythm playing sounds well-timed, yet relaxed and Jonesy's piano passages perfectly add to the song's uplifting timbre. To me, it captures the optimistic spirit the band would regain after their disastrous '77 tour and before/within their Tour over Europe '80.
Besides, some
No, it's Bron-Yr-Aur-Stomp. The song's about his dog.
"Ain't nothing better than a Blue eyed Merle" From part of the song. And Blue Eyed Merle is a type of dog. It makes more sense if you hear the whole song.
My favourite acoustic song ever. The magic that song has is beyond me.
Listen to sampleWhen you heard the words 'Through the circus of the L.A queens',
you just knew what Robert Plant meant!
I can't believe this wasn't even on the list! By far, greatest Zep song ever!
Listen to sampleSuch a catchy song. John Paul on the piano is great. Can't stop replaying it!
