Victoria - The Kinks (Arthur, or the Decline of the British Empire)
This may be the hardest year of all time for Old Yellar.
I've got like 6 first place votes here, but my inner anglophile nostalgia carries the day with Victoria. It's on the Mt Rushmore of history nerd rock songs rather easily.

Born on Bayou - CCR (Bayou Country)
Born On The Bayou is a tremendous part of the soundtrack for The Waterboy. Easy win here.
-
Who Lotta Love - Led Zeppelin II
Gimme Shelter and Cinnamon Girl close
You had to be there for WLL and the relatively new stereo
I flipped burgers to buy mine

Good Times Bad Times - Led Zeppelin I
That’s a murderers row of options.

Born on the Bayou is probably Fogerty's greatest song, and it wasn't even a single. They had better overall albums than Bayou County, but this one set the tone (Proud Mary was on Side 2) and was the greatest run of 5 albums in under two years in rock history. No one has ever come close to CCR's productivity from 1969- 70.

WLL was the first time I heard "heavy" music. It was on my old man's hi fi rig in circa 1985 or so. I still am running those same speakers today.

Good Times Bad Times - Led Zeppelin I
Those offbeat sextuplets on the bass drum with the single pedal. I had never heard anything like that.

I can make skrong arguments for 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8 and 9 all being in the #1 spot. A true murderers row @CFetters_Nacho_Lover
