The Rover, Custard Pie, and When the Levee breaks are probably my 3 favorites.

the rover has always been my favorite. most under-played song they have. you rarely ever hear it. in the light, also off physical grafitti, is another killer, along with no quarter off houses of the holy. those two songs don't have the "fm" sound, even though no quarter does get some play.

it must have taken an act of congress to get jones to play again. i read once where he was quoted as saying he'd rather kill page than play with him again.

I get to hear The Rover relatively frequently on Sirius, thanks to the program function the radio has: I get a warning every time the song is played

"The Rover" is the name of the song? I'll download it now

Battle of Evermore
No Quarter

Both are two of my favorites

As an interesting aside on Zeppelin, Howard Stern had a guy named Denny Somach on in late June. He has documented how Led Zeppelin basically "borrowed" every note of their first record from other artists.
For those interested, here's a link to the interview:

i have a ton of old muddy waters and robert johnson compilations, among others, and as much as i love led zeppelin, they definitely were rip-off artists early in their career.
