A
Let U be the set of all united sets, K be the set of the kids and D be the set of things divided.
Then it follows that ∀ k ∈ K: K ∈ U ⇒ k ∉ D
Then it follows that ∀ k ∈ K: K ∈ U ⇒ k ∉ D

A by a million miles, even as obvious and fairly oft-used in the Cup it is.

I like A a lot even if you can absolutely see the seed of Smashing Pumpkins' sound looking at it from today. Not sure B's legacy is any better though, even though it too is a pretty good track, and a rather less obvious pick too. Err... I suppose B just because I haven't heard it before.

I'm totally unfamiliar with Zep post Houses of the Holy, and this is really pleasant - but I can't possibly vote against LWIII.

Dreary Led Zep vs intricate guitar?

Sheesh. Not much here for me at all. I’ll go for the Zep, second division pick that it is.

Sorry, Nev. It was a dirty job but one of us had to do it.
I am absolutely not ashamed of choosing it.
And whom was my Under*ge Sex Ballad pitted against, exactly? Ah yes. Led Zeppelin.

Fair point!You don't think it's a creepy lyric, though?

I suppose it bears different interpretations. I've always heard it as a song about adrenaline-fuelled loneliness or something like that. It's a really powerful song, in my opinion.
