	"Wring That Neck" wins the poll for me. "Since I've Been Loving You" is a great song too, but, when it comes to slow blues songs by Led Zeppelin, I have a weakness for "Tea for One"

	Out of these choices, I say Wring That Neck. It's got a unique instantly recognizable riff, isn't overly complicated, yet can give hours and hours of good ol' rockin' fun - sometimes in one sitting! The longest version I know of is from Scandinavian Nights, aka Live in Stockholm. Actually clocks in at over 30 minutes, but yeah, they could have cut off at 32 easily. How Many More Time by Zeppelin would have been better in my view if they had acknowledged they lifted the riff from Albert King - even their cameo of The Hunter (where the riff came from) isn't sufficient. I agree with cacho - Lazy should be here because it is a much better song, but I don't always like to say 'other.'

	I think my favorite is the blues medley that Led Zeppelin included in "Whole Lotta Love" on the 71-73 tours. Damn that's great stuff! And yes, i am bored!
