We have made it to the FINALS to determine the GREATEST opening song of the LED ZEPPELIN album discography.

You are going to pick the song that you think is the "Weakest Link" after 2 days I remove the the song with the most votes, and the remaining song is our CHAMPION.

Led Zeppelin - Good Times Bad Times (ELIMINATED ROUND 3)
Led Zeppelin II - Whole Lotta Love
Led Zeppelin III - Immigrant Song
Untitled - Black Dog (ELIMINATED ROUND 2)
Houses of the Holy - The Song Remains The Same (ELIMINATED ROUND 2)

    Guess I'm the first vote against IS.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    This may be a close vote.
    I wish I was a sacrifice, but somehow still lived on.

    Protest vote. The best song on this list is ALS and it’s not even really close.

    Whole Lotta Love has a better groove to come in on, but that breakdown slow part is what dumps it for me. Immigrant Song is a banger from start to finish.

    Close but WLL is a monster and extra credit for Ben Harper killing this song

    I will decide tomorrow after more thought. I keep fluctuating back and forth between the two. This is madness, I tell ya.

    Got to go with Whole Lotta-- for the good times.

    Variously credited to Mark Twain or Edward Abbey.

    This was tough. I actually prefer Whole Lotta Love between the two songs, but Immigrant Song, as an opener, just hits you a ton of bricks within seconds....while WWL kinda builds with the riff and vocal before the drums come in.

    The first 1:30 of Song Remains the Same alone is better than either choice imo.

    I do love that Temple of the Dog covered it on the tour.  It was a ballsy thing to go after.  They screwed up the first interlude a little and Stone shakes his head like... damn that was hard... But after that they killed it.

    This one hurt. But I just listened to both. They are both so amazing, but Immigrant Song got more into my head today.

    I agree with you 100%.  WLL is my favorite between the two... however the big hard PRIMAL entrance of IS jolts and overpowers me to the core immediately.

    The breakdown in WLL and if you have a good pair of headphones, is just pure ear candy.
