I've played the album maybe a hundred times, heard it on the radio hundreds more times, and played it on guitar at least a thousand times...but it's not my favorite Zep song by far...
My favorite Led Zeppelin songs would include:
Since I've Been Lovin' You (LZ3) - best blues song ever
Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You (LZ1) - fun to play on either acoustic or electric guitar
Kashmir (Physical Graffiti) - epic song - I get goose bumps every time I hear this song
All My Love (In Through The Out Door) - very sad Robert Plant song written in tribute to his five year old son who died
The Rain Song (Houses of the Holy) - beautiful melancholic ballad
Dazed and Confused (LZ1) - one of the best stoner songs of all time
Heartbreaker (LZ2) - heavy metal classic
Rock n' Roll (LZ4) - right up there with It's Only Rock n' Roll as best rock anthem ever
No Quarter (Houses of the Holy) - another great stoner classic, my eyes get red just listening to it
Whole Lotta Love (LZ2) - I used to play this song all the time when I played in bands
Immigrant Song (LZ3) - love the staccato minor chords in this one
Trampled Underfoot (PG) - hard-driving song, fun to change up the tempo on acoustic guitar
The Battle of Evermore (LZ4) - the song that inspired me to learn to play the mandolin
Going to California (LZ4) - whenever I travel, and especially when I come home (to California) I love to hear this song
Dancing Days (Houses of the Holy) - I needed this song at the time (around the time of my first big break-up)
Tea for One (Presence) - a slight reprise of since i've been loving you - ballsy blues
Achilles Last Stand (Presence) - another good epic from an otherwise forgettable album
In The Evening (In Through The Out Door) - Zep's swan song (pun intended - LZ's label was Swan Song)
Stairway to Heaven (LZ4) - see above
