    Levee is heavy- had to go for it.  Win or lose, it's all win here for this great album.  Good choice, MK!

    Levee such a banger! The first beat any kid wants to drop on a drum kit. I gotta go with it at this point. Just makes you wanna drive around a desert, Mad Max style with nothing around but cacti and rattlesnakes. And a bottle of Jack D your only friend!

    Stairway wasn't final 2 for me (CA should have been, IMO) but Levee is fucking awesome.

    Yep. If the results stand, I will be pleased; not thrilled, though. "Levee" is a top 3 song off this album. "Going to California" for the win!

    I am so g'damm glad that Black Dog was FINALLY  eliminated. I dislike Stairway for the same overplayed reason however Stairway is EPIC! Like I said before Black Dog is a f'kn awesome jam but the beginning of it pisses me off. It's strikes a chord of discord with me for whatever reason. Stairway is an absolute masterpiece. A true epic adventure. Every rock band worth it's ballz tries to recreate this incredible journey in their own way. Why am I voting against it? I really don't know now. Stairway was my first. Levee is that  badass hot guy. He's very deep and has lots of soul and makes you feel every single beat. Classic Perfection  vs Soul Grind. The two cannot compare.

    Maybe Stairway is one of the most overplayed songs of all time, but when I compare the two, I gotta give it the edge. These two tunes along with Rock & Roll, I would rate as the top 3 on the album.
    I pick Levee as the weaker of the two remaining simply because it’s repetitive for the most part of 7 minutes. That guitar riff pretty much cycles from beginning to end. Stairway on the other hand seems to be broken up into 4 separate movements of varying melodies & tempo, roughly 2 minutes each.

    I've voted Stairway out for the last 3 rounds. It's not a bad song of course, but there are so many stronger songs on this record

    Respect vote.

    The 'rip off' tarnished the brilliance of the song somewhat; but say what you want... the song is 'truly' an epic.

    Page's solo before Plant's wailing lyrics and Bonham's well hit drums (just before the final lyrical section) are just flat out awesome.

    No vote was a bad vote for this record. A grueling exercise.
