      Another awesome song. Led Zeppelin... what else can I say?
    • 9. Goin' Mobile by The Who
    • 8. Bron-yr-aur Stomp by Led Zeppelin

    • 6. Instant Karma by John Lennon

    • 1. Trampled Underfoot by Led Zeppelin
      Greatest intro I've ever heard. This song has everything; it's got a funky, awesome beat and it's full of energy.

    It was an English sweep for me. I guess it's safe to assume I like Led Zeppelin. 70's rock puts today's rock to shame. Rock on.
