Poor Tom
Wanton Song

Fool in the Rain is my favorite.
Hard to fathom that in my teens I was all about Neil Peart and couldn't see what the big deal was with Bonham's playing. It took about 35 years to see the light though.
Man, I can't pick 10. I'll just go by album.
I. Good Times Bad Times
II. Whole Lotta Love, Heartbreaker, Bring it On Home
III. Out On the Tiles
IV. Misty Mountain Hop
HOH. No Quarter, The Ocean
PG. The Rover, Trampled Underfoot, In My Time of Dying, In the Light, Down By the Seaside, Ten Years Gone, The Wanton Song
P. Achilles Last Stand, For Your Life, Royal Orleans, Nobody's Fault But Mine, Candy Store Rock, Hots on For Nowhere
ITOD. South Bound Suarez, Fool in the Rain, Carouselambra
C. We're Gonna Groove, Poor Tom, Wearing and Tearing
BBC. Travelling Riverside Blues
Looking at that list I'm surprised by how heavy it is on their later stuff when it's early, pre-Physical Graffiti Zeppelin that's always been number one in my heart. I guess I feel like Bonham really shone when the rest of the band was on the decline, so Bonham's later grooves are amplified by being the best part of late Zeppelin.
That's a hard question, almost like asking which of your children is your favourite...
In no particular order:
When The Levee Breaks
The Ocean
the Crunge
The Wanton Song
Your Time Is Gonna Come
Bring It On Home
No Quarter
Achilles Last Stand
Immigrant Song
Since I've Been Lovin You
Honerable mentions go to Dazed & Confused, How Many More Times, The Lemon Song, Communication Breakdown, What Is And Should Never Be, Heartbreaker, Ramble On, Whole Lotta Love, Good Time Bad Times, Babe I'm Gonna Leave You, I Can't Quit You Baby, Dyer Maker, Dancing Days, Custard Pie, Rover, In My Time Of Dying, In The Light, Down By The Seaside, Ten Years Gone, Night Flight, Sick Again, Royal Orleans, Nobody's Fault But Mine, For Your Life, Tea For One, Fool In The Rain...
I like em all too, but if it's strictly "groove", I think The Lemon Song tops them all, especially in the break down...
