How is the greatest band ever at only 80% for the greatest song of all time? Do that many people not know Led Zeppelin?

spelling is probably the issue. Led Zepplin is probably tried most often.

Yeap, as @djm says people (like me) try three different ways to spell it, all incorrect, and then give up and assume they are wrong.

A yes. Rapper's Delight - responsible for where the term "hip-hop" was coined from. But I still didn't get who sang it.

I grant you Village People and Bob Marley were half white but Stevie Wonder and Sugarhill Gang were white dudes? But yes let's have another 70s music quiz.
