DOTF even though it isnt their best i think its a top song. its so intense and you can really get into it.

Like i said they've a few so they were a bad example. Black Dog, Whole Lotta' Love, Immagrant Song and Stairway are equally anthemic for them.
I would go with demon of the fall for opeth.
Whole lotta love for Zeppelin.
EDIT: for all the people questioning zeppelin's anthem.. how can you really pick one for a band that has like 28 singles? it's almost impossible to say "this is the song that this band is known by" when almost all their songs are popular. But if it really came down to it, i would pick "whole lotta love" over stairway.

Led Zeppelin never, ever released singles. At least, not until many years after the split. So, 28 singles? Where did you get that from?

28 is an exaggerated number from the amount of led zeppelin songs you can hear on the radio. I dont care what they release as singles, im talking about led zeppelin songs that are popularly heard. i really cant belive you took that number seriously...

It's not the number I'm quibbling, it's the fact that they didn't release singles at all. So, it didn't really matter what number you picked. However, acknowledging that you meant songs you're likely to hear, then you have a fair point
Also, I'm not sure where you're from, but if you're from the US, then the whole system of singles is different, so you could be right in those terms for all I know. Sorry if you thought I was being a smart-ass

Yeah, but couldn't you say the same of several songs? When, for example...
Plus, you have Jimmy Carr in your sig. Awesome!

I say the drapery falls because it has the most modern sound. And believe generally that for a well known song, that represents how the band are percieved....
P.S Jimmy carr is actually a legend.

And yes, he IS a legend
Shit, i have a fuckin class

It should be Godhead's Lament, such a fantastic song and one of the few containing all the elements of Opeth. Drapery Falls, unfortunately, is better known but to my mind is less 'Opethy' since it stays in the same "mood" with little change in colour and emotional impact throughout the song. That's not to say it's a bad song, it just doesn't cover the field of emotions as much as GL does - confusion, sorrow, joy, triumph.

as mikael said at their march 24 2004 concert in sydney
"this is our paranoid, our seek and destroy, this is demon of the fall"
i think that sums up this argument!

i wanna agree and say "When", but that's just a biased opinion cause it's my favortie opeth song. my immediate response to this question is "Demon of the Fall", but i think "Blackwater Park" or "White Cluster" should be considered as well.
