I got into this band thanks to the guitar theatrics of a certain Mr. Page, then stayed thanks to the impeccable musicianship of Messrs. Plant, Bonham, and Jones as well as the band’s endless reinvention. Although the years have made me aware of the band’s problematic personal aspects, I’ve attempted to think strictly about their output for this list. These are my favorite songs from the British rock gods.

*This list will be updated in the event of any future (including posthumous) releases.
