10. Achilles Last Stand by Led Zeppelin
The thing with Zeppelin is all their songs could knock off these ten.
9. Kashmir by Led Zeppelin
Would say "Time", but Time sucks compared to this.
8. Misty Mountain Hop by Led Zeppelin
I would use these last three slots for Floyd songs (second best band), but hell no.
7. Black Dog by Led Zeppelin
6. The Immigrant Song by Led Zeppelin
Robert Plant had/has the greatest voice ever, IN ANY GENRE OF MUSIC, greatest singer in the world, better than all 6 billion of us.
5. Fool In The Rain by Led Zeppelin
Probably didn't even try hard to produce this song and it's still better than any other band's music.
4. Over The Hills And Far Away by Led Zeppelin
Reason I like Led Zeppelin way more than Pink Floyd. LED ZEPPELIN IS BETTER, NOT EVEN CLOSE.
3. D'yer Mak'er by Led Zeppelin
As good as any song ever.
2. The Rain Song by Led Zeppelin
Better than anything Floyd, Queen, or anyone could ever try to do.
1. Stairway To Heaven by Led Zeppelin
Led Zeppelin didn't even like this song and it is still ten times better than anything ever.

Early great song.

I call that a bargain... just to listen to this song.

Great chorus.
4. My Generation by The Who
Moved the whole world.

The best songwriter... it shows in this song.

Pete Townshend unbelivable jumpin', spinning arms, and smashing.
1. Baba O' Reilly by The Who
Come on, how can this not be on your list?

10. Width Of A Circle by David Bowie
Had to have a Bowie.....another weird song with sick and twisted sexual lyrics! Studio recording or live both work.
9. All Right Now by Free
What a fun song to sing to!
8. The Working Man by Rush
Excellent guitar; high vocals a plus.
7. Tenderness by Steppenwolf
I've seen Steppenwolf songs, but this semi-soft love song, speaks volumes about the tenderness I have experienced in my life. Steppenwolf GOT IT!!!!
6. Behind Blue Eyes by The Who
ALWAYS a FAVORITE, a long time before Limp Bizkit! Glad they honored this great song, in what I believe is to be a relatively underrated band, in spite of legal difficulties.
5. The Writ by Black Sabbath
Eerie entrance and interspersed spaces, with hard and simple, driving rhythm..."Are you Satan or are you man?"
4. Stink Foot by Frank Zappa
Frank is a great guitarist, and you can hear some of it here. Had to add just one more sick song!
3. North Carolina Hard Core Ecstacy by Frank Zappa
Rough song! Brutal when you hear the lyrics. Had to list some Zappa!
2. If I Were A Carpenter by Bob Seger
I fell in love with Bob Seger on this song, before he really became famous. My favorite rendition of this popular song. Did you know Robert Plant sang this song, as well as many others?
1. Back In The Saddle by Aerosmith
Haven't seen this one listed, yet! Great let-loose song!

10. Neil Young by Old Man
Powerful lyrics..... catchy tune.
