Day Tripper from the list, I’m sure you have this one hot in the bullpen…

I continue to be amused by the expressions and movements of Keith Moon when they were lip-syncing on the Telly BITD…
To add to @BleachedAnusDawg talking points, "I can't explain" is a total rip off and "You really got me now" which Pete has admitted.
 
Best riff from 60s Zep is Whole Lotta Love.
House of The Rising Sun should be on the list.
Or Heartbreaker. I could have gone either way.
I might break this out into riff of the year type series. Still trying to get my reads down.
I’ve seen Whole Lotta Love in the top 5 of many all time riff lists, but I actually like both Communication Breakdown and Heartbreaker’s riffs better. Led Zeppelin is never lacking in the great riffs department.

If I'm being honest, Born to Be Wild, Sunshine of your Love, You Really Got Me are possibly the most recognizable, and widely used throughout the cultural lexicon (commercials, tv shows, movies). I echo the poost about House of the Rising Sun being included.

All that being said, the best of the 60's was also one of the best of the mid-late 90's.
Voodoo Child - James Hendrix

I’m getting there, Bud. 60s polls dropping soon.
