three more albums and you have them all. 
That's right: Led Zeppelin III; Presence; & Coda. Smile

and In Through the Out Door (1979), so 4 albums, I missed LZ III. 
I didn't count In Through the Out Door because I heard it's not very good. Smile

there are 4 excellent songs on it if you ask me - In the Evening, Carouselambra, I'm Gonna Crawl, All My Love. Only one weak song - Hot Dog. 
Don't believe everything you hear. Try things on your own. 
You're right! I heard Mike Oldfield's Man on the Rocks album wasn't very good either, but I listened to it yesterday and I liked it a lot. Thumbs Up
 
By the way, what is it you particularly don't like about the winking emoticon? I've never heard anyone else complain about it before today.

I've never heard any of Steven Wilson's solo albums, so it's no surprise that I'm surprised he's currently leading the poll, although not for long I suspect. Smile

As well as never hearing any Led Zeppelin, add Steven Wilson to your list LOL

Mike Oldfield is a big reason he is not popular here on lists, plus his one album big album is hit and miss for many, let alone trying to listen to everything up to Tubular Bells XII Wink (Wink Wink).....
Who hasn't heard any Led Zeppelin!?? I have *FOURTEEN* Led Zeppelin CD's in my collection. Smile

Really? Because just a couple of months ago you said you only have some compilations and never head of the song Carouselambra. Big smile

so I can't disagree with you, I forgot Mr Winking Paul.

I'd be happy if you stopped using that emoticon when you interact with me. 
Has it really got to the point now that we disagree over which emoticons we use!??

I've asked you several times not use the winking emoticon. I know you ignore a lot of things I say, music I recommend, but just please do not use the winking emoticon when we interact. I don't think I am asking too much.

I believe prog listeners prefer more bands than solo artists. If Harper would had been in some prog band, really I believe he would be much more listened than he is now. On the other hand I don´t think Ayers is very popular among proglisteners (not as popular as Wyatt), although been in Soft Machine.

very dubious. at least Friede and I don't think so
Well, look at the PA:s top 100 list. There are 3 albums by Frank Zappa, 3 by Miles Davis, 2 by Steven Wilson, 1 by Mike Oldfield, 1 by Peter Hammill, 1 by Robert Wyatt, 1 by Steve Hackett, 1 by Bill Cobham & 1 by Al Di Meola. Rest are bands. And that list comes mostly for the ratings from PA listeners.

and what exactly does that prove? in my opinion only that many people become aware of the names of many musicians first because they come across a band that they were in at some time. I know it was so with me. there was a band I liked, and when I became aware that some member of a band made a solo album I went and bought it too.

an indicator for that is that the two solo artists of whom there are 3 albums in the top 100 are not best known for being in a certain band but because of their solo work
