It's a great album all together.
 
personally I think Battle of Evermore is the best, but you are right it's a bit too long. so therefor I'll have to go for Rock and Roll afterall, that's great heavy riffing in a great rock song, sure like the intro, with heavy fast drums, Live it's unbeatable.

Ah, Aqualung Jr.! Seriously, it's the same album. Just lamer. But, hey, lame Tull is like good Led Zep, right? Heh, right...?
 
Oh well. Even though this record is hardly Draculung, it's still pretty good by Zep standards. In fact, very good. Might be the best marriage of diversity with consistency they ever got (though I haven't heard III, but I'm not setting my hopes too high).
 
So now that I've said I rather like the quintessential Los Zepplins de East London, lemme do you one worse, and admit, totally, royally, on my kness in shame...that the best song here is "Stairway." "To Heaven." The friggin' ELEVATOR SONG. Yeah. I know. But that solo is one of Page's absolute best. And did you know it's impossible to not headbang along at the end? I try and stop myself, honestly I do.
 
So, no "Stairway," it's "Levee." That's some spooky, proggy blooz, mang. Almost...Doors-like. Uh, you didn't hear that.
 
If no "Levee," then, heh, "Rock 'n Roll." Damn but that's such a cool number. Sorry.
 
Everything else can bite the big bazonga as far as I care. Well, "Dog" and "California" are both nice, but while "Evermore" and "Mountain" could have been cool, they're both far too long, and the potential in "Sticks" takes too long to be really realized as well.
 
But, yeah, freakin' "Stairway." Sorry.
