Have at it!

Communication Breakdown vs Dancing Days is a really really tough one for me. It ended up coming down to the fact that I enjoy playing Dancing Days more than Communication Breakdown on drums. That groove and those fills are hard to beat.

221

That was one of the easier ones for me, for CB.

222

Strongest region imo. Except for that 4/13 matchup. Yuck. Would rather just advance the loser of the 5/12 or the 7/10 contest.

223

CB is a killer song, you’ll get no argument from me there.

224

Voted for Song Remains the Same because overall it’s a great track, but Plant’s… falsetto? around 3:20… idk wtf to call it really, but it’s very cringey.

225

I was listening to a Zep song in my dad’s car one day in 1981 and my step-mom thought Plant may have recorded himself getting racked on a bicycle and cut it into the song. I think it was I Can’t Quit You Baby.

Down by the Seaside, never noticed how much Plant is channeling Neil Young on this one. Still didn’t vote for it.

227

Achilles Last Stand is fucking awesome and it losing to Fool in the Rain is a travesty.

Achillies Last Stand was definitely underrated by OP. Should have been in the top half of the rankings imo. Probably the only match so far where my decision was pretty tough.

229

He said something about ranking just based on number of plays on spotify or something.

230

AFAIK, Spotify only ranks the top 10 played for artists not top 64.

231

Don’t want to look back, and spotify doesn’t sound right anyway. I don’t remember. It was based on something other than his preferences. Pretty sure.

232

Grunching: Friends goat. Time changes in intro are crazy and the studio recording is sick af. Lyrics are great. Not here to argue about it. I’m out. The IV album is what got me into rock though, played by my friend’s dad on way to Easter.

Had trouble choose between The Song Remains The Same and That’s The Way and also between Misty Mountain Hop and Bron-Y-Aur Stomp.

234

Those were pretty close for me as well.

235

I got into Achilles Last Stand when I saw this performance on my Led Zeppelin DVD set.

It’s so epic and amazing. Just keeps building a sense of urgency.

edit: yes, their clothes are funny

Seriously guys, Achilles is an amazing song and you should feel bad if you’re not voting for it.
