Best Led Zep songs ever nominated on Facebook to celebrate legendary singer's 62nd birthday.
11/11
The legendary Led Zeppelin frontman is 62 today.
Today's a big day if your name happens to be Robert Anthony Plant.
Why? Because you are a rock legend of the highest persuasion, you are still winning Grammies 42 years (!) after meeting a certain Mr Page and, getting to the point, it’s your birthday!
To celebrate the frontman’s 62nd birthday, we asked MusicRadar's Facebook followers to nominate their favourite Led Zep tune. Answers came in their digital droves and the resulting Top Ten tunes (accompanied by some killer YouTube clips) follow this intro.
So happy birthday, Percy (sorry, we know you hate it) - you’re a bloody legend and we hope Wolves get a result against Everton on Saturday.

Coming in at number ten is the seven minute love ballad from Zep's fifth album Houses Of The Holy.
The album's title was a reference to the name that Zeppelin fans would give to venues the band would performed in. During the band's live sets, Rain Song would traditionally follow The Song Remains The Same, and it's the final notes of that song you can hear dying away at the beginning of the live recording below.
Listen: Led Zeppelin - The Rain Song (live at Earl's Court 1975)
'The Lemon Song' is up next at number 9. If you click on the song title you can further follow the countdown from there via musicradar.com .
Enjoy! ~PeAcE~
