1. Stairway to Heaven.....Well duh. Overplayed on FM radio for sure. I still never tire of it.
2. Rock and Roll.....Also the first song known to be sung by my 3 year old grandson.
3. Kashmir.....It always takes about a minute of the song for me to figure out which one it is.
4. Immigrant Song.....Hanging around years with strong staying power. Oh, and Jimmy Page.
5. Heartbreaker/Living Loving Maid.....Not sure why they are combined as one, but it rules.
6. Whole Lotta Love.....um...headset, please. It'll blow your rockin' mind.
7. Trampled Underfoot.....A solid hit as anything this side of Stairway.
8. D'yer Mak'er.....Weird title and spelling. However, always worth the listen.
9. Black Dog.....It truly rocks and was named after a stray black dog hanging around outside the studio when they recorded it. Now ya know.
10. The Ocean.....Musical heaven from the first time I heard it. Robert Plant's voice is solid too.
11. All My Love.....I hear Plant wrote this for his son.
12. Misty Mountain Hop.....Guitars and melodies always play nice together.
13. The Lemon Song.....Just a good, fun song. Listen to it until the juice runs down your leg.
14. Going to California.....To hear the Ocean.
15. Fool in the Rain.....My favorite from the underrated In Through the Outdoor album.
UNDERRATED SONG: Four Sticks.....Give it a listen. It's a greatly unheralded tune.
OVERRATED SONG: Battle of Evermore.....I just couldn't ever get on board with this one. I tried.
DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH: The Rover.....A nice lengthy song. The first time I heard it I listened to it four more times in a row.
ALBUM TO LISTEN TO: "Zoso" is loaded with great music, so that is my pick. Honorable mention to "Physical Graffiti".
Tracks I had to leave off that deserve a shout out: In the Evening, When the Levee Breaks, Houses of the Holy, Dazed and Confused, Good Times Bad Times. Carouselambra, Communication Breakdown.
