Here are my 50 favorite Led Zeppelin songs of all time. I’m gonna send you back to schooling - Zeppelin schooling that is. I’m giving you every inch of my Zeppelin opinions here.ĭo you need cooling?

Even as so many bands of their generation slowly fade into history, it seems that there’s always a new subset of teenagers every year who decide they will be obsessed with Led Zeppelin right as their hormonal activity reaches its zenith.
