Well, that's right gabrielle. But I guess we have to mention this one. It did make my top 400 list, though only at #352. But many folks agree; in fact, it was in the news today, because of a royalties suit claiming the opening riff was copied from "Taurus" by someone in the group Spirit (Led Zepp won the suit), and in the news report I heard someone cry "the best song ever." As late as 2011 it was voted the best song ever in a big survey. Nowadays, with young folks focused on Bruno Mars, Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, Justin Bieber, Adele, Miley Cyrus, etc., I don't know if a classic rock song like this one would still be #1. It depends on who votes, I guess. It gets well over 100 million you tube views (I'm not sure because videos get taken off; this one was and then was re-posted), but we know today's popular favorites can get over a billion. I wrote an article about this song, because it is supposed to be esoteric. And I found that like my Bach fave, it corresponds to chakras and tarot cards (there's even a picture of a tarot card in the album). So yes, it's a significant, epic song.
