    • Thank You (Led Zeppelin II)
    • Since I've Been Loving You (Led Zeppelin III)
    • Gallows Pole (III)
    • Battle of Evermore (4th album)
    • When the Levee Breaks (4th album)
    • The Rain Song (Houses of the Holy)
    • No Quarter (Houses of the Holy)
    • The Rover (Physical Graffiti)
