^^^ Montrose?? That's a name I've not heard since the early 80's courtesy of Tommy Vance.
My choice would have to be 'Who's Next?' by The Who, although ask me again in six months time, and it would be something different.

I'll throw in mentions for Rainbow Rising and Montrose's debut but overall I'd go for Led Zep II.

This coming from the guy who thinks music died in 1989. Anyways, I'm all for a Thin Lizzy nomination. Who else loves Jailbreak!?

I would go with Who's Next or Quadrophena along with some of the others mentioned. I also think Steppenwolf's first album could be talked about as it happened in 1968. Maybe even Led Zeppelin's first too.

Physical Graffiti is by far Zep's best, and I quite like Captain Beyond too

I certainly haven't heard enough to make a judgement on this, but if a poll outside prog circles was made, surely Led Zeppelin IV would win, or be very very close to the top.

Let's not forget The Who's Live At Leeds. Not saying it's the best, but it surely ranks right up there with In Rock.

Can you tell me where we're headin'?
Lincoln County Road or Armageddon.

In Rock. As much as Led Zeppelin are my favourite band, they never to put on just one kind if stuff on an album or in a concert.

the High Tide is much more than just aimless jams, especially those bonus cuts
I'd have to go with Physical Graffiti

Indeed I am impressed. I'm not sure if it's the best hard rock album ever though, that might require some more listens.

it may appear like pointless jams at first listen, but there are very beautiful and complex meldodiies on that album too; just listen to the very complex theme of "Death Warmed Up". and we have some real polyphony on that album too, for example in "Walking Down Their Outlook"

^^ Just started my first listen and it's already better than anything by Led Zeppelin.
