1. Babe I'm Gonna Leave You by Led Zeppelin
One of my favorite songs from my favorite band. Led Zeppelin is the best band of the 70's. This song is awesome.

John Bonham's simple but efficient drumming makes the song even more incredible.

9. Fortunate Son by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Great song that is often misunderstood (it's not a patriotic song, people, it's an anti-war song!) Great song by the great band CCR!!

Awesome song, gives me the shivers every time I hear it. I love John Lennon, even though he's not my favorite Beatle (look at #7 to see who that is)
2. Free Bird by Lynyrd Skynyrd
Now, I don't care if you like Lynyrd Skynyrd or not, you HAVE to like this song, I mean come on, just listen to the guitar at the end!
