    Uh, hello? It's obviously Live and Let Die by Paul McCartney and Wings ;)

    Edit: I'd actually go with Goldfinger. Cornell's offering for Casino Royale is my modern day choice.

    That’s a good idea for a poll (or polls, as there are 25 songs). There’s a pretty solid Top 5 or 6, the rest would be straightforward picks.

    Dear Beatles Fanatics,

    Your days of everyone bowing to "the best band ever" is dying, day by day.
    Week by week.

    Zep Fanatics.
    I love Zep and as much as the next guy, but the outrageous, unabashed plagiarism has to disqualify them from any "best band ever" conversation. I can go through them all, but just based on Dazed and Confused and The Lemon Song, I don't know how they lived with saying "Yep, we wrote these songs."

    I know, but then there's always what the Beatles did to Clarence Walker to consider as well.

    I'll take Zep's studio catalogue over The Beatles, but that's debatable.

    HOWEVER. Let's look at live performances. Led Zeppelin revolutionized concerts. Mick Jagger said something like "we used to play for 45 minutes then Zep happened and everything changed".

    Beatles? That oh so famous Shea Stadium show? Here's the setlist - 12 2-minute songs. And after 1966 they stopped touring altogether.

    Here's a song, performed at Earls Court - 33 minutes of insanely awesome rock & roll: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRcWNedn2J4

    Long Live Zep.

    GnR's cover basically neutered Macca's original, so it dropped a few pegs.

    These are really good points.  Zep live was out of this world.  Beatles were so original and unique. I think I said earlier that i feel like the are from two different universes.
