Led Zeppelin dominate UK's favourite rock song list
Posted on 19 Apr 2010 14:46 to category : Band / Celebrity News
Electric guitar band Led Zeppelin have reason to celebrate after three of their songs were named among the top ten favourite rock tracks of UK listeners.
A poll carried out by radio station Absolute Classic Rock saw the group top the chart with Stairway to Heaven.
Two of their other songs, Whole Lotta Love and Rock and Roll, came in at fourth and seventh place respectively.
Among the other songs to feature on the list were Gimme Shelter by the Rolling Stones and The Beatles' track Revolution.
Third place went to Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen, with The Who's classic Won't Get Fooled Again in second.
Last month, Download Festival organiser Andy Copping told Xfm that he is desperate to book Led Zeppelin to appear at the event.
He said the electric guitar band are often approached by a variety of different festivals but have turned down all offers to reform so far.
