My votes:

Not a Zep highlight, vs a timeless Lennon song. Imagine
AC/DC rubs out Lou. Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap
First song I ever learned on bass. Rock And Roll
Pat was good, but it's a gas gas gas. Jumpin' Jack Flash

My votes:

I tried going to California, but now I can never leave. Hotel California
The first master of the rock guitar solo. Johnny B. Goode
Joe Walsh is fun, Bowie is just weird. Rocky Mountain Way
Money may be considered a classic, but this BOC is too good. Burnin' For You
 
I still don't like "Hotel California", so I'm voting Zep.
Chuck Berry rules supreme.
"Space Oddity".
I'm just burnin' for your money.

One day left for Round 31

My votes:

The first pair is very hard to compare. I think Yesterday is the better song, but the other is the better rock song. Seven Nation Army
Second pair is brutal, I love both. But it's like the first pair this way: U2 wrote the more artful song, but GnR was just fucking ferocious. Paradise City
Queen vs. Paul Rodgers. Original vs replacement. No shame for Rodgers to lose that comparison, most singers would. Under Pressure
Looking at the last pair, I'd normally say this sounds like an epic battle. But on this forum, Sabbath is a metal juggernaut in an arena full of softer bands. Is AC/DC tough enough to challenge? Iron Man
