Re: a few things to ponder

Wow!  I have to really disagree with this one!  I've tried to stay out of 
this "worst song" deal up until now, but this was too much!  If anything, 
I should say that your best and worst lists should be switched (although 
I'd hate to see Kashmir on anyone's "worst" list.)  But since you've 
listed 6 of my most favorite songs as your most least.  But what REALLY 
gets me is that you've listed SIBLY!  Give me a break!  I'm a guitarist, 
so maybe I have a biased opinion, but how can you list this one?  This is 
my absolute favorite Zep tune!  

Now I won't rip you here (As if I haven't already.) because I truely believe 
everyone has a right to their own opinion.  I guess I'm just flustered more 
than anything.  I don't really believe in a "worst" list unless we're 
talking about Barry Mannilow or the Bee Gees (where the problem would be 
deciding which songs were the worst-they're all bad!).  Especially with 
Zeppelin.  As far as I'm concerned, anything Jimmy touches turns to gold 
(well, USUALLY.)

Now, here's my top 10 BEST songs (or at least my favorite)

1)Since I've Been Loving You
2)Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You
3)Achlilies Last Stand
4)Stairway to Heaven
5)The Rover
6)Whole Lotta Love
7)Kashmir
8)Tea for One
9)Communication Breakdown
10)Ozone Baby (I can see flames and hate mail a plenty on this one!)

Keep in mind that this is more a favorites list than "Best" list.  I'd be 
interested in what everybody's 10 favorite songs are.
