I took one long song from each album, so which is your fav?

There is no "make a poll" option in the prog related room so I posted it here, admins can move it if they like although these are progy songs Approve

progy songs? 5 of them are blues-based songs, The Lemon Song is a straight lift from Killing Floor and When the Levee Breaks is an old blues song, although they did at least manage to part-credit Memphis Minnie for it.
 
If it were the live version of The Rain Song from The Song Remains the Same, I would vote for that, otherwise it's When the Levee Breaks.

Bluesy of course but that doesn't mean they are not kind of progy, not your ordinary blues songs that's for sure. Anyway I never considered Zeppelin to be a prog band, far from it but they certainly had their moments.
About The Lemmon Song I just wanted to include something from the second album.

Tea for One, Levee Breaks, and Since I've Been Loving you would all be in my Zep top 10.   My vote goes to Tea for One.

Proggy or not, my faves are The Rain Song and No Quarter. I would vote for The Rain Song, but I cannot vote in polls yet.

As prog as my right testicle, but great, all the same.

I have always adored The Rain song.

I would have chosen "Kashmir" (my favorite Led Zeppelin song and in my opinion the most proggy one) instead of "In the Light" and the good old "Stairway to Heaven" instead of "When the Levee Breaks". from the list  I choose "Since I've been Loving You"

In My Time of Dying. But from this list, In the Light.

Physical Graffiti is definitely my favorite Zeppelin album.

For me it's between How Many and Levee....since I usually prefer their harder edged blues rock numbers...went with Levee and I think Zep 4 is their most well rounded LP.

From the list, tough call.  Probably "When the Levee Breaks".

I was thinking of including this song but eventually went with In The Light, both are great of course.

I completely agree with Jean on this post. 

I was trying not to go with the obvious choices but instead including songs that haven't been discussed much.

I've noticed that a lot of people here are sick of the obvious choices.  I still like both of those songs quite a bit, but guess that I can understand the sentiment of oversaturation on these songs.  The two songs that you listed are both good songs too.

Levee, Rain, Light and Carouselambra are all brilliant, so in the absence of Achilles, that has alway been my favourite it has to be The Rain Song

In the Light, the only one of these in my top 10 Zep tracks. Not to say the other ones here aren't great too though.
