The Beatles' votes are certainly being split.

We might finish up without any of theirs in the Ten !

:P

It doesn't matter much to me :)

I am just a poor boy

But I guess that's just the way the story goes

Someday when I'm lonely

I'll meet you up there where the path runs straight and high.

And as we wind on down the road,

We're gonna talk and laugh our time away,

And I'll ask you, hey mister, have you seen Pictures of Lily?

Thanks Lucky. :grin: It's not really true. I'd just hate to think that my badmouthing Zeppelin at times would cause any backlash against the song. I doubt it though.

It's a tough one. I'm pondering over my Ten now !

Don't worry Darryl, nothing you do or say could discourage me from voting for Led Zeppelin, such is my love. That said, I like other Zep songs better than Stairway :grin: :grin: :grin:

A Spot The Song Medley ! Very good Dappled. :)

And as we wind on down the road - I used to think it was 'and there's a wino down the road'. Robert Bloody Plant should enunciate his words better.

I think it's got enough votes now Katie. This reminds me of the 'bad old Top Tens' - Zeppelin, Floyd, Hendrix, Doors, Who - people voting for the Artists, not the songs. I don't mean you ! Although I don't mind if anyone wants to vote for my Who nomination (thanks Seeker) - not really one of their Big Hits (in the U.S. anyway).

As much as I think it is the greatest song of all time, it looks like STH might not make #1, so I'll put one of my favourites ahead of it to see if anything can beat it. :)

I am impressed to see that some people have voted for very few or no songs by the artists that have multiple #1s in our top tens - but I won't be one of them! :neener:

2. Stairway to Heaven - Heavy Blimp

3. One - U2

4. Heartbreaker - Lead Balloon

10. Mmm, Mmm, Mmm, Mmm - Crash Test Dummies
