First round, which I consider a tough one:

Achilles Last Stand vs. Whole Lotta Love

[Link]

Achilles Last Stand

[Brock Landers]

WHOLE LOTTA LOVE

[Shaister]

Achilles Last Stand 10:22 of awesome rocking
and folks for some humor listen to whole lotta love at about 1:16 it sounds like Plant says "I download Porn" may these guys were too much ahead of their time both musically and technologically ha ha ha
one a few more things regarding the list of 32
Ever hear The Girl I love Has Long black Wavy Hair, that is some sweet blues guitaring, Brong it on home is too awesome not to be on the list, I dont really like houses of the holy, the album is awesome but the song which isnt on the album stinks, the songs In the evening and in the light are awesome too and finally trampled under foot. Obviously you cant list them all but listen to the ones i mentioned and maybe you'll be enlightened

[JBond]

Oh believe me, I know those songs...actually I don't like Houses of the Holy that much either, but I know others do.

Well this thread isn't working out too well...but since I vote Achilles Last Stand, I'll declare that the winner and go to:

All My Love vs. What is and What Should Never Be

I vote All My Love

Ten Years Gone..

*sings*
Then as it was, then again it will be, an' though the course may change sometimes rivers always reach the sea. Blind stars of fortune, each have several rays, on the wings of maybe, down in birds of prey kind of makes me feel sometimes, didn't have to grow but as the eagle leaves the nest, it's got so far to go. Changes fill my time, baby, that's alright with me. In the midst I think of you, and how it used to be, did you ever really need somebody, and really need 'em bad, did you ever really want somebody, the best love you ever had..do you ever remember me, baby, did it feel so good..'cause it was just the first time, and you knew you would...
