Top fives have been around since there have been countdowns and lists but were made totally valid in the book and later the film, "High Fidelity". Now us geeks can rally around it with a sureness to our categorization style. If you haven't seen the movie you really should, if you read, go read the book; it's a gem!
Top 5 Led Zeppelin songs not by Led Zeppelin
Lenny Kravitz: Rock n' Roll is Dead
"Heartbreaker" is a great song and should be left alone but Lenny is a rock star and can pull off almost anything (including your pants).
Kingdom Come: Get It On
They did have Jason Bonham son of John Bonham drumming for them but it's still not an excuse as much as it is an awesome way to sell your band!
White Snake: Still Of The Night
David Coverdale and company get very sexy and very metal on this 6 minute plus ballad to having sex. It is a great song that makes air guitarists very happy.
Jane's Addiction: Mountain Song
Argue all you want and then go listen to the song again, the elements are there including British 70's style drumming and the bass that keeps you locked in.
Coheed and Cambria: Welcome Home
This is the magnum opus of Coheed and Cambria and I have to believe they know it. The song as it all cryptic lyrics, powerful guitar, thundering drums and vocals not to be messed with. Not only is this song Kashmir on steroids but the video has the guy playing the double neck guitar and the band uses this as there symbol:
vs.
yeah, right on!
