In my opinion, 

Led Zeppelin have produced three masterpieces:

1) Led Zeppelin
2) Led Zeppelin IV
3) Physical Graffiti.

The debut album is a real masterpiece, it's wonderful. It's their gift to the music. The other two are not so revolutionary but they are beautiful.

Then, 

4) II is a very good album
5) Houses of the holy is a good album
6) III is a good album

the other three are not good albums.

They technically did 8 studio lps...with Coda as a later release of left overs classed as a compilation.
I think Graffiti has some mediocre tracks and some filler and would have liked to see Achilles last Stand and Nobodys Fault from Presence on it rather than several of the other tracks on side 2.
In Through The Out Door is by far my least favorite of the studio lps......not sure what they were doing with that one but it lacked balls.
If I could only keep one it would be either the debut or #4......tough choice for me.

All these discussions about In Through the Out Door and Coda - I guess I need to relisten to them first. They've been largely unplayed ever since I got I-IV for Christmas and puchased the rest of their CD's myself in ninth grade. Of course I've listened to Carouselambra and I'm Gonna Crawl since (love both) and all in all the former album is probably worthy of 2,5 stars...
So I relistened to In Through the Out Door. I had forgotten (or not noticed) that In the Evening and All My Love are very nice tunes. I like them a lot actually. So worthy of 3,5 stars and I now prefer it to Presence.

IV (perfection)
I
Houses of the Holy (it's got a few of my favorite songs of all time, but The Crunge ain't one of them)
III
II
Physical Grafitti
In Through the Out Door 
Presence

I'm pretty much with you there - my playlist of Physical Graffiti discards all the leftover filler, apart from the two decent tracks left off Houses of the Holy, thus:

Custard Pie / The Rover / In My Time of Dying / Houses of the Holy / Trampled Underfoot / Kashmir / In the Light / Ten Years Gone / The Wanton Song / Sick Again

which at a running time of 63 minutes I find to be a much more palatable listening experience.

Here's my ca. 42:30 long perfect five-star version of Physical Grafitti:

A1 Ten Years Gone
A2 Down by the Seaside
A3 In the Light

B1 Kashmir
B2 Bron-yr-Aur
B3 In My Time of Dying

-Not saying that the rest of the songs are all bad of course, but I could do without pretty much all of side four.
