I really need one of those. eBay, here I come…
My wife says I'm obsessed. I probably have a touch of OCD
Last tattoo I got, I really wanted the last flight of Icarus. She shot that one down.…

No obelisk seem to be available. Hmm..
My favorites change every 6 months or so, right now I'm really into The Wanton Song and Sick Again. But the ones I really dig are the bluesier songs. Lemon Song, Traveling Riverside Blues, In My Time of Dying, and especially How Many More Times. These got me thirsty for the delta blues, and I bought the Robert Johnson box set and never looked back.

Good stuff guys. No one has hit on my favorite(s) yet. Not that that is the point of the contest. I'll reveal mine later
This is hard.
Kashmir is dope regular rotation for me
I've got to say, When the 4 disk box set came out, I re-discovered Zeppelin. There are SOOOOOOOOOOO many great songs. I have to say though Since I Been Loving You and The Lemon Song on the box set versions because of their heavy blue. There's always Dazed and Confused. I really liked what Page did with the bow on the guitar. I just like Kashmir. Babe I'm Gonna Leave You is in my regular rotation now
Oh, Forgot one of my favs I Can't Quit YOu Babe.......4 disc box set version
Good contest, Robert. I'm going with When the Levee Breaks...I always loved cranking that tune in my '68 Impala. It just has a bad-ass sound to it; really gives you the sense that bad things are about to happen...
Love all of them but for some reason every time Hot Dog comes up on the iPod skiing it makes me so much better. When I'm dropping into something with some risk like a 45 degree chute in a no fall zone its what I put on.

Not hard, brother, FUN. I'm all about the Zeppelin. This contest is just a way for me to "ramble on" (tongue in check there) about the best band ever without everyone thinking I'm a nut job

Now there is an obscure tune! I can tell you're a true fan

While, I can't really name the number one zeppelin song (who can?), I'm gonna vote for all of my love.
1. This song was written in honour of Robert Plants son, Karac who died while they were ontour in 1977 (year of my birth), and being a proud father of a great son, I'm emotionally attached to it.
2. The synthesizer solo is amazing and could easily be considered experimental to the older catalog of songs.
3. This song is from the band's final album and really points to an interesting direction that the band could have gone in the 80's if it wasn't for the tragedy of losing Bonham.
4. It's the final song on the 4th disk of the boxset, perfect closer.
5. I've been wanting that 10 disk set for years since I only own the 4 disk. Yeah, that has nothing to do with the song.
Great contest. a really tough one as I could easily pick out 20 songs, but this one always strikes a chord in my heart.

Man, this is not easy. At all!
But, sentimental memories bring to mind "Ramble On." I was 15 and working at a gas station with some older guys. One guy, Jerry, is a senior in high school and had friends at Bloomsburg (a PA university). He takes me up there for my first experience, this is back in '93, of a "real" party. Beer, girls, pot, loud music, and NO COPS. I got hammered, made out with a couple girls and thought I was the man, chugged beers, and then puked.
We hit up a pizza place to get our shit together, and as I'm housing some amazing pizza on comes "Ramble On."
I'd been into Zeppelin for a few years b/c of my Dad, but the timing of this song just set it off as something epic at that point in time. I felt Paige's guitar and Plant's vocals just ripping out a good time, kind of echoing the time I had that evening. It was just different, 15 and feeling like you took another step towards being independent. Haha, what did I know!
So, the culmination of events leading to hearing that song make it stand out in my mind.

The Robert Johnson reference got me to thinking. "Nobody's fault but mine" was Zeppelin's "hellhound on my trail" both are truly amazing songs.
Zeppelin II was my first CD. My dad got it for me when I was about 12. Whole Lotta Love was the first song I fell in love with.
