Not a big Zeppelin fan, but II and IV are probably the ones I like the best.

not a big fan but I'll go with
1. II 2. Houses of the Holy after that,. hmm they all have stuff I like and just as much stuff I don't, so it's a 6 way tie for 3rd place! ps reread some of the earlier posts and I do think "In through the Out Door" has some fine songs. Edited by kenethlevine - December 18 2021 at 20:11 |

It has gotten boring, and includes some mediocre material like 'Misty Mountain Hop'. |

Last I heard it's still the same album as was originally released. The music has not changed.

2. House Of The Holy 3. Led Zeppelin I 4. Physical Graffiti 5. In Through The Out Door 6. Led Zeppelin III 7. Prescence 8. Led Zeppelin IV I know i may get some heat for rating IV last, but in my view it's way too overplayed and i think it has gotten boring.

You're welcome. If it were me I'd have included Coda. It features, now more than ever a large quantity of Zeppelin material. The nature of it's origins is regrettable but it is still there. Much like the Beatles magical Mystery Tour (an accidental classic album.) With the inclusion of the Bombay Orchestra material it shows how forward thinking JP and Co were. An equivalent might be the Floyd's Mudmen on Obscured By Clouds (same year, 1972) foreshadowing the appropriation, er, I mean the influence of non-western music in rock. Not bad for a bunch of blues guys... Oh and how JP and Co returned to this very situation as the basis for No Quarter Unledded. Conceptual continuity and all that... The ironic bit was the material they used with the Bombay Squad was only very occasionally done live and then ... over done live in the 1990s... Maybe this could be a Zeppelin album as well or are we bound by the rules of personnel which hardly applies to say, Yes. Don't worry just me stirring the pot. Don't want to provoke any eruptions... Cheers P.S. ITTOD is still fantastic, an extension of Kashmir, In The Light and the use of guitar synthesizers, Purdie jazz shuffles and the elegiac I'm Gonna Crawl. Oh, and nothing was nicked either... |

I didn't include Coda among the "original 8" simply because it is technically a compilation album of outtakes from a variety of album sessions. Yes, that charge could also be levied against Physical Graffiti, but that album also features a lot of newly recorded material. Thanks also for your thoughts on ITTOD. I wouldn't have minded if "Ozone Baby" had replaced "Hot Dog".

I
Physical Graffiti III IV Presence Outhouse II Holy Moly Not to say I dislike any of these - all of them have varying degrees of greatness. The last 2 earned their spot merely by containing the few Zep tracks I’ve really come to dislike (and The Crunge is not one of them) Edited by HolyMoly - February 12 2021 at 19:29 |

Why is Coda not counted? It is a studio release. It's nature is dynamic which makes it unique. It's was once 30 mins, now is an hour and a half long. Even features Led Zeppelin without Led Zeppelin, no easy task. Just to add fuel to the ITTOD Fire (an ITTOD outtake that big picture readers should know) how about those tracks that were omitted due to vinyl limitations? Wearing and Tearing's powerhouse energy, Darlene's zip and wit, the near non-song Ozone Baby classed up by a lyrically challenged but outstanding vocal tune from you know who. ITTOD ran the gamut of styles while other bands strived for one. It didn't play to pop culture dictates and was resented for it. Outstanding in that regard as well.

Meh. I prefer the sound of Physical Graffiti, and the remaster on the 2015 Deluxe Edition is even better. Never cared for the keyboards being brought to the front on ITTOD, particularly when Jones seemed to get too enamored with his brand new Yamaha synth. The flitty sound in spots sounds like he's playing a Casio. Totally jarring and detracts from otherwise solid songs.

Yeah I don't think so. I've been a diehard fan for thirty-five years, own countless bootlegs, and used to track the band's touring schedule just for fun. But let's not show our penis size. Sure they were strung-out, Plant had been wounded in all kinds of ways, and it was up to Jones to make this session happen... and he did an amazing job. I would add that the album, thanks to Page's stellar production and Jones' inspired arrangements, is probably their best sounding release. |
