For fuck's sakes people.

I'm boycotting (at least) this round.

Christ on a bike.

 

[LemonMelon]

I'm boycotting (at least) this round.

I'm sure that will go a long way towards improving things for you.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Now this shit becomes really difficult.

It's down to SIBLY and The Rain Song for me this round.

what to do, what to do...

 

[UberBeaver]

Last round, Dazed And Confused, Ten Years Gone and all manner of sense and reason were eliminated with 5 votes.

what to do, what to do...

Go with SIBLY and I'll join you.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Allllright, SIBLY it is.

 

[phillyfan26]

I'm down with boycotting the rest of this. Their best song got eliminated in round eight. ROUND EIGHT!

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Since fucking when is Ten Years Gone the best Led Zeppelin song?

Jeebus. Am I the only one who thinks that proclamation is weird? And I'm not just talkin to you PFan, other people have said it too. I'm just genuinely surprised by that. Whatever.

 

[UberBeaver]

Is it their best? No, but it's close. But regardless, it's better than practically every other song up there.

Yes but we've already determined your musical taste to be, at best, faulty.

And I WILL vote in this round to save Since I've Been Loving You (if I need to/it will help). Holy fuck, guys.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Dave, if you had to live with my musical tastes for 24 hours your head would implode from an over-exposure to sex and awesomeness.

You're lucky you weren't born with this gift. It's my cross to bear.

I'd say my favorite Led Zeppelin tracks are Ten Years Gone, Over the Hills and Far Away, When the Levee Breaks, and Babe I'm Gonna Leave You. Only one of those is left with this many? I'm outraged.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Yes, it is a painful and brutal fact that When the Levee Breaks and Going To California didn't even make the final.

 

[Zoots]

 

[SeattleVertigo]

Most of my favorites aren't around -- Going To California, Ramble On, Misty Mountain Hop, Babe I'm Gonna Leave You, Kashmir.....Oh well.

 

[phillyfan26]

Yes, it is a painful and brutal fact that When the Levee Breaks and Going To California didn't even make the final.

Black Dog is very overrated, and Rock and Roll is a little bit, too. Stairway, GTC, and WTLB should have been the three from IV.

 

[LemonMelon]

I'm down with boycotting the rest of this. Their best song got eliminated in round eight. ROUND EIGHT!

As I sarcastically quipped at Dave, I'm sure this decision will go a long way towards improving matters.

If I wanted to improve things, I'd be involved in politics. I just bitch. All talk, no action. That's how I roll. Sheeeeeet.

Also, here's a point I've been meaning to throw out for some time:

Survivor competitions are, by definition, less about naming your favorite song as it is about finding the one you hate the least. Has it ever occurred to some of you that Good Times Bad Times is here instead of Babe I'm Gonna Leave You (which I don't agree with either, BTW) because Babe tends to annoy some folks, while Good Times is generally liked by everyone, though it's probably not their favorite? The songs that split the fanbase do poorly in these competitions for that reason, as there is no positive vote; it's either no vote or a negative one.

Basically, the system is naturally unfavorable towards your favorites. It's a sad truth.

 

[phillyfan26]

Oh, I know, I just bitch anyway. Despite facts and reasoning.

 

[the tourist]

The Rain Song.

Since I've Been Loving You is Zeppelin at its best. For shame, people.

What is this science you use? Good Times Bad Times should have been taken out and beaten with a reed long before the Led Zeppelin I Qualifying Round ended. That it made it through shows that Diebold hand delivered the election to the Republicans. Again.

 

[SeattleVertigo]

The Rain Song's nice, but it's no Since I've Been Loving You.

 

[phanan]

I've been pissed since When The Levee Breaks didn't even make the cut, so I don't care how fucked up this gets at this point.

And yes, Ten Years Gone is a great fucking song, but it's not the best - no way. So who cares if it went last round or a few rounds later, it wouldn't have made it to the end anyway.

 

[Sibley]

I can't in good conscience vote for 3 of the 4 songs selected so far ..... they're just too damn good to be eliminated, which leaves Tangerine

hhmmmm

I'm going out on my own, being non tactical, choosing my least favourite of the songs remaining and voting Good Times Bad Times
