    Black Dog
    So I've voted against Black Dog every round and McGruff has voted against Levee every round, yet the songs remain the same. If I have to vote against this damn song one more time, I'm going to build my own levee to keep that dog out.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    Black Dog
    Too hard!! 
    Going to California...as a studio track would get the chop...but anybody who has watched Earl's Court knows that the song has wicked Kung Fu.
    @mcgruff10 check out Earl's Court...a small acoustic set of absolute gems.

    The other albums are amazing as well.
    Physical Graffiti next?
    The fact that they cranked as many great songs out in the time frame they did....it is astounding
      
    Ok i'll go with that album next.   What is and what should never be (second song off ii) is unreal.
    Agreed. My favourite song on LZll.
    I dunno about going Physical Graffiti next. The second half might be a bit of a challenge. I'd go with House of the Holy next. Afterwards go with LZI and then either PG or LZIII.

    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.
    I liked it when I was 17 but that was a long time ago.

    It's also used very well in a Silver Linings Playbook scene.

    Stairway To Heaven
    I must apologize.  I think I said earlier I would only vote against Stairway only one time.  What was I thinking?!  I know it's a fine song, but up against the other three?  I had to do it.

    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.

    Song Remains The Same is awesome....people who saw them live earlier said it didn't hold a candle to how they played the first handful of years but it is live LZ.
    I saw them in 75 & 77 and 77 was off the charts better but I bet the earlier tours were better !

    Is this from that 2003 DVD or have they been releasing "random" stuff for their 50th anniversary?

    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.
