Disagree with a lot of these, but it's interesting nonetheless.

Kashmir at 1? No thank you.

For Your Life at #67...Presence is extremely underrated. Bad list.

 

[KnappShack]

I reject the list and the premise of the ranking.

Greatness such as Zeppelin cannot be ranked

 

[Mr Janny]

I just want to know how someone in their right mind can call Moby **** their worst song. Is it number one? No. The solo is a little too out there. But it's freakin Bonzo, man!

And any list that doesn't rank Down By the Seaside at the very, very bottom, is invalid from the start.

I've changed my top 10 favorite Led Zep songs list about 100 times, there's no way I could compile a list like this.

Achilles Last Stand at 63? Ridiculous

 

[Sigmapolis]

1. "Overrated"
2. "Boring Chord Sequence"
3. "Robert Plant Has Completely Lost His Range"
4. "Embarrassing Synth Drone"
5. "Good Song (Stolen Away from An Old Blues Master or a Folk Group like Spirit)"

And one bonus!

6. "Cream, Deep Purple, and etc. Were Way Better"

Discuss.

Yeah, you hit on all of the common hater talking points.

Communication breakdown should've been higher but I can't argue with their top 10...although I'm probably in the minority but I wouldn't put "Whole Lotta Love" in the top 10...I think I just hear it waaaay too much.

I could, however, put all of "Houses of the Holy" in the top 10...I freakin' love that album!

After reading "lumpenproletariat" I knew I didn't need to spend much more time reading it.

Someone did this for Metallica today too and his points were just as moronic as most of this guys. "When the Levee Breaks," is still my all-time favorite.

I finally broke down and bought "Mothership" for my flight to DSM two weeks ago. It's the perfect comp album for my flight from PHX. It's 2hrs and 20 min of great songs and the exact flight time.

So true. I'm going to listen to it now...

 

[CyBroncos]

Rain Song and Ramble On not in the top 20 is ridiculous. Levee Breaks not in the top 10???

To the person who said earlier that For Your Life is a great song...I completely agree. Totally underrated.

You take away the Crunge (horrible song) and Houses of the Holy in my opinion is one of the best/most versatile albums ever made.

So was this article done by the Bill Wyman, who was the Stones bass player for 30 years, or just a music writer who shares the same name?

 

[Clonehomer]

How is Ten Years Gone #40? That's one of my favorites.

 

[bosco]

At least Stairway wasn't number 1. Haven't heard all of those but to me can't beat the Immigrant Song. Especially when done like this.

I like that the list seems to appreciate the debut album more than most (because it may be my favorite). If I swapped "over the hills" and "Kashmir" it would be a lot closer to my list.

Pretty crazy that around 60 of 74 is when I start loving just about every song, and even some lower than that.

Also I like "Rock N Roll" a lot more than "Whole lot of Love" among their better known songs.

I listened to Immigrant song before every wrestling match, it gets my blood pumping like a pavlovian response.
