Stairway to Heaven - Laugh all you want. Still the greatest classic rock song of all time. With the greatest classic rock guitar solo.
Misty Mountain Hop - Hippy Dippy to the max. A lot of the 90s grunge thing used this song as a template.
Four Sticks - Way before Sting and Peter Gabriel, Zep was doing "world music". First time millions heard a raga.
Going to California - Zep smokes a joint with Joni Mitchell and CSN&Y.
When the Levee Breaks - The drum beat that's been sampled a million times. Such a relentless and heavy groove. If you haven't f*cked to this I pity you.

Revolver and
Sgt. Pepper's, released six and five years earlier, respectively.
