Silenus, or maybe a Yankees fan? :smile:
Don't worry Stairway is not my favorite. I do love "The Battle of Evermore" and I nearly rigged it so it would not be up against Stairway but I decided to keep the 16 honest by recording. I think I got them all correct.

I would'nt be surprised if I'm the only vote for Achilles' Last Stand - I hosted Led Zeppelin Madness on the Dope, and it lost miserably...
Incidentally, the final battle was [spoiler:2elt0kk8]Levee vs. Kashmir, with Levee winning - a good choice, IMO[/spoiler:2elt0kk8]

Six (a) or (b) gave me pause but the rest were surprisingly easy. It's the next round that'll gut me.

Nah, I am a far bigger Tolkien Geek than Silenus and can even explain how Stairway also ties into Middle Earth. I'm not ashamed to pick Stairway over Battle. I love both.

That one was the easy one for me - "Levee" is my favorite Zep song. By comparison, all of the others were tricky.

Really? I'd heard that the "Stairway"/LOTR connections were mostly spurious. (I like "Evermore" better for non-Tolkien reasons myself.)

Oh, they are spurious, I just said I can explain how they do. :wink:
The spurious reasons are mostly tied to Galadriel.

"Evermore" gets the nod on the strength of Sandy Denny's vocals alone, never mind the Tolkien.

I should clarify, by corrupted I meant I now think of the Viking Kittens when I hear this song. I don't mean this as a negative.

This was a much tougher round for me. Kashmir over "D'yer Mak'er" was the only easy one for me.
The first round actually ended up with nothing close on the 16 votes. I think this will have some close ones.

This one was easier for me than the last one.
2.1 was tough since I really love Communication Breakdown, but in the end it's hard not to give it to Whole Lotta Love no matter how overplayed it is.

I can't believe that Stairway beat Levee.
Oh, and, all of you who are picking Immigrant song over Whole Lot of Love are just nuts. :tongue:
