Actually, I just replaced Misty with No Quarter. Cannot believe I forgot that one, being as it's one of my top 5 Zep songs. The organ creates such a chilling atmosphere in that intro...

Yeah I could have put in Living For The City as well, but Superstition is the most "iconic" (God I've got to stop using that word, I'm starting to sound like Echoes... :lol:

Light My Fire!

And the Keyboards Forum would be really interesting if it were really active... Too bad, because I think it's the most under-explored of all standard rock instruments.

yeah, Im voting for No Quarter now. a top 5 zeppelin song......

Green Onions although most of these are better songs overall.

If by "keyboard riff" you mean the synthesized arpeggios that persist throughout Baba O'Riley, then that's my pick by a fucking mile. I'd listen to that shit for hours, man.
