    #1 is absolutely right but it’s missing a lot of things I would have considered… Cinnamon Girl… Honky Tonk Woman… Walk This Way… Message in a Bottle… Could you be loved… Pride (in the name of love)… Day Tripper… Rudy can’t fail… La grange… Iron Man and about six other Zeppelin songs off the top of my head.

    It’s not a terrible list, and the British bias is appreciated considering the source, but there’s lots of variety on there.

    Wanted to call out Cigarettes & Alcohol, and Unbelievable as inappropriate, but now that I listen again, they’re way better than I remembered heh.

    Fools Gold still gives me chills, but sadly reminds me of Martin Streek every time.
