10.stairway to heaven
11.over the hills and far away
12.dancing days
13.the ocean
14.custard pie
15.houses of the holy
16.kashmire
total run time 79.47
best of.. album tracks
1. babe i'm gonna leave you
2. dazed and confused
3. good times bad times
4. what is and should never be
5. moby dick
6. traveling riverside blues (bbc live version)

Now, you may call me crazy, but I would replace Black Dog and Rock and Roll with at least Achilles' Last Stand (long song) and maybe also Candy Store Rock, both from Presence. Presence actually has some good songs. BD and RnR are good songs, but you can turn on any classic rock station and hear them. Achilles' is just an incredible song.
Do it man, just do it. He will appreciate you more later.

to the addition of anything from "Presence".

Pretty good list, but there's no way you can have a best of Zeppelin without When the Levee Breaks. That big echoey drum sound gives me chills just thining about it. Cut out Going to California and see if it'll fit.

there are a handful of songs i would add to the list
Down by the Seaside
In the Light
Night Flight
Tangerine
Any best of I made, single or double would HAVE to have these songs on it.

Those are all from their last album, Coda.
Also, Presence is their third-to-last album.
You definitely want to include "When the Levee Breaks" and "No Quarter." Why not buy the greatest hits "Early Days" and "Latter Days?" That would be legal, too.

I thought it was like half and half? Hmm..no, I was wrong. I must be thinking of some other band's last album. Don't I feel like an ass. I stand by my other suggestions.

there are only a few real duds in the Zep catalogue, but if i had to narrow it down to a teen number of songs with overall best, i'd go with:
1. Communication Breakdown
2. Dazed And Confused
3. Thank You
4. Heartbreaker
5. Living Loving Maid (She's Just A Woman)
6. Ramble On
7. Immigrant Song
8. Tangerine
9. Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
10. That's The Way
11. Rock And Roll
12. Stairway To Heaven
13. When The Levee Breaks
14. The Rain Song
15. Over The Hills And Far Away
16. The Ocean
17. Trampled Under Foot
18. In The Light
19. Kashmir
20. Down By The Seaside
21. Nobody's Fault But Mine
22. All My Love
ah crap, i just can't possibly make the list less than 22. probably why Zep is my favourite band.
