I can’t stand Black Dog. I’d rank it 3rd worst on the album. It’s the type of song that’s the quintessential reason I could never get into Zeppelin. It reminds me of muscle cars and mullets.

While in some small way I respect your opinion, you are way off base here mister.

Black Dog is one of the most memorable riffs in rock history.  It is likely Led Zeppelin's most powerful and hardest driving song.

And it's named after a stray black dog.  Brilliant.

I don't disagree it's one of the most memorable riffs... I just picture the high school tough guy revving up his t-top Trans-Am with a phoenix on the hood while playing it.  Which is what 99% of Led Zeppelin sounds like to me. I can't get into it.

Sounds like sideburns and incensed basements to me.  What you describe is Def Leopard and Motley Crue etc

We're ranking - not rating.
(Although I am a bit sick of that song - but I could say the same about Even Flow).

To be honest I'm surprised it made it this long.

I know we are ranking, poor choice of words.

Wow...really disagree.  You seem to be describing Foghat while dissing one of the most diverse bands in rock history

My sister says the same thing.  It's like listening to Whitesnake for her...

Damn shame.

Why is that a damn shame? Listening to Whitesnake is awesome!

What's a damn shame is that the greatest track ever recorded by Led Zeppelin is going out in this round. I would change my vote to "Stairway to Heaven" if I thought it would make any difference. But it wouldn't.

Goddamn you people!

Pearl Jam most certainly did NOT do it better!

I love me some Whitesnake.

Hair Metal frigging rules.

I never had a real mullet, nor drove a Trans Am.  Would have liked to have had that car -- would have made the music blasting so much cooler than it was coming out of my 1986 Ford Escort GT.

Also, I did get into many fights in high school, but I lost more often than not.  Would not label myself a high school tough guy.

I love all the songs on this album, so my voting to eliminate any of them is next to meaningless.
