    Moby Dick - take out the drum solo and add in the final chord as per the re-issue of Led Zep II and it's a belter.

  • Lots of great tunes already mentioned. Couple more:

    Alice in Chains - Dam That River

    Soulwax - Much Against Everyone's Advice

    There are so many! Lots of my favourite bands use drop D/C#/C tunings. 

    The Incomparable Mr Flannery by Clutch is a great one in regular old drop D.

  • Ooo I really like a lot of slipknot's recent stuff (and old stuff, and everything in between). It's in drop B/Bb/A/Ab but again, same thing...

  • Probably very few Fretboarder's cup of tea but my current favourite drop d tunes are both by Dream Theater:
    Saviour In The Square
    Constant Motion

    Helped by recently completing a guitar build so have one to leave in that tuning now

    That's two of my faves as well. Oh and Hear about it later 

    I tend to play Everlong in E as it's really low to sing in D, you can get the same voicing in E so it works pretty well.
