Don't think I've ever heard it on the radio. So it's not overplayed for me.

The only Zep song I had heard before I went out of my way to get their albums was Kashmir.
Ja I think that the anti-Stairway push has led to more conservative use of the track but I'd still say it's overplayed. Then again classic rock radio is cancer so I can see why you'd avoid that.

If I had the choice of only 1 of the 2 songs to listen to for the rest of my life, I'd go with BR.
Huh?

...maybe play the outro too.

I've never listened to classic rock stations but still recognised most of the well known tracks before I got more into music.

Kashmir has been used on telly a lot so that explains that one.

Pretty sure that Kashmir was played on a Danelectro and a couple of Les Pauls.

EDIT: Rereading your post and this joke doesn't make sense in context like I thought it did. **** you.

Not a dig at you, just a joke. Hard to find any music fan on the planet who hasn't heard STH. `

I'm guessing it was the "telly" thing.

Yes and it was hilarious.
