    Of all the Zeppelin songs in the ’70s and THAT'S the one you pick. Sure you don't want to change it to Kashmir? Or the Immigrant Song? Or maybe Hot Dog?

    Hey, I'm an old fart, and I don't always keep up with a lot of new music. It's a 2000s song to me. Sorry, but it's a guilty pleasure. ::)

    Not a bad song at all.

    Dude, I like you and all, but no need to keep crapping on this thread. Either contribute or move on.

    The question leaves some room:

    My favorite songs listed by the decades in which they were released.
    or
    My favorite songs listed by the decades during which they were my favorites.

    In the case of the latter, I love a lot of songs from the 1960s; however, none of them were my favorite songs during the 1960s, on account of I wasn't born until 1970.

    'Over the Hills and Far AWay' is not my favorite Led Z song, but it is a great song. Personally, I would rank it ahead of 'Kashmir,' 'The Immigrant Song' and 'Hot Dog' - all of which I love.
    However, 'Over the Hills and Far AWay' is clearly inferior to 'The Crunge,' which is the greatest Led Z song, and 'The Ocean,' all off the same album.

    Of course it's not a bad song. Zeppelin didn't make many of those. And if you don't mind (even if ya do), I'll continue to comment on this thread any way I want.
