And the best version, the one on the live album "How the West was Won". Jimmy Page's guitar solos have to be among the greatest ever.

My opinion of their best songs is a lot closer to Rolling Stone's:

https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-lists/the-40-greatest-led-zeppelin-songs-of-all-time-154694/stairway-to-heaven-1971-169929/

But I don't agree with that, either.

My five favorite Led Zeppelin songs:

Ramble On
Stairway To Heaven
Kashmir
Over The Hills And Far Away
Rock And Roll

and the next five, in no particular order:

Black Dog
Whole Lotta Love
Going To California
Thank You
When The Levee Breaks

...I actually just figured out that whole riff because our new Vincent is a black dog.
I always dug that song, but never bothered to learn it.
Man, that riff is simple! Even that part that feels like it slips out of rhythm then back in. I expected it to be trickier.

So you figure these things out yourself rather than checking YouTube?

But, it's not even my fave on LZ3.
I do concur about his singing on that, though. One of his best moments.
