Did you actually listen to the whole thing?

Album by album: I: You Shook Me (although I think the studio version of I Can't Quit You Baby pales in comparison to the RAH show) II: nothing III: Hats off to Roy Harper IV: nothing HOTH: D'yer Mak'er PG: nothing Presence: nothing I "dislike" but the only songs I'm really nuts about are Achilles, Candy Store Rock, For Your Life and Nobody's Fault but Mine. The rest don't really do it for me. ITTOD: Hot Dog, the last third of Carouselambra, All My Love

It's a cool line, no doubt (JPJ doesn't write lousy bass lines). But the whole song is comprised of like ten notes. Sounds cool and funky - but top ten? No way. He is far too much a virtuoso for this to be considered among his best.

You're really going to bitch about The Crunge not being on the list? That's far from his most sophisticated work. How about Going to California? Or Kashmir? He did the Arabian string arrangement which I would argue is one of Zeppelin's most impressive riffs ever. And yes, The Lemon Song has to be #1. Most of LZII actually. Edit: The Crunge actually makes my list but only if we're talking the live version. The studio version is über simple.
