In the US anyway. 31st in the UK.

I'll say it forever: Whole Lotta Love is quite possibly the most overrated song in their entire discography. 1:20-3:00 is nothing but Plant scatting, going "Ahh...ahh...AHHH!" and the guitar solo isn't enough of a payoff to make up for over a minute and half of gibberish.

My two least favorite LZ tunes are Whole Lotta Love and Black Dog. WLL for the reasons you said and the fact that it's probably second to Stairway to Heaven as the most overplayed song ever. Black Dog because of the prepubescent lyrics and the fact that it rips off Fleetwood Mac's awesome Oh Well, Part One.

Oh wait, Zep would never think of ripping off someone else's music. What was I thinking.

Looking on, she sings the songs. The words she knows, the tune she hums

From the opening riff I was hooked. One of the greatest albums in Rock history. Cheers!
