For a long time I've considered these two the peak of songwriting in classic rock, but I'd have a hard time arguing that Stairway to Heaven isn't equally as well written, if not better. I think your list is fine in terms of historical significance as hits, but none of the listed tracks overwhelm me like the two above.
Hotel California is such an amazing song.

Need proof?

Oh my God. I remember when I listened to it for the first time. I was blown away!

Disagree on this one. I love Whole Lotta Love, but Satisfaction is so boring.

Yeah. Both.

And Bad Company.

And Zep. WHEN THE LEVEE BREAKS! **** it! Drums in a freaking hallway. Man.

David Gilmour, Time. And all.

But PURE Rock, well... taste. My taste says this just rolls and rolls, immaculately assembled to the nth.



But I'm just gettin warmed up

Bruuuuce, Born In the USA.
Hall and Oates, Maneater.
INXS, What You Need.
New Riders of the Purple Sage, Panama Red. (woooopsie how did that get in there.)

Maybe the very first "Rock" song I actually really listened to, and felt. It was not long after hearing a fantastic band do "Evil Woman" live in a local dive.



3:35, 4:40.....

And then Oye Como Va four-tenths of a second later. NOTHING beats that.
