Houses is great!
I definitely is ahead of it though. Depending on the day it'd be II or IV right behind it.

Houses of the Holy for me, can always come back to it (even if I skip Dancing Days and The Crunge sometimes)

Only for a few songs ... not sure there is a whole lot of "blues" in the 1st and 2nd albums, where they really made music come alive like most others were not. This was serious rock music and then some!
Those bootlegs at the time still show this as a very important band, and quite progressive where too many others only give and did lip service! There was a reason, and a very big reason, why this band was big ... and in concert specially!
Very little material "repeats itself" in their first 3 albums ... and if you can't see that ... may I suggest that you go back to your mom's Elvis or Bobbi Darin collection! (hehehehe ... couldn't help it!)

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

As far as progressive blues, one only has to look at the original version of "When the Levee Breaks" by Memphis Minnie:
As opposed to the unbelievable reimagining of the song by Zeppelin:
It is an astounding adaptation with deliciously phased and distorted blues harp, stellar slide and the powerful downbeats of John Bonham.

Not only that I agree, but I think that In My Time Of Dyin' is an even (much) more progressive blues. I'd even stand for the "prog-blues" descriptor in its case. |

That can only mean you haven't listened to much, and al that you got to listen was opposed to your tastes. But subtlety is an integral part to Zepp's music, too, just as riffs, blues licks, howls and all that. Here's a taste of subtle Zepp: |

I always thought Led Zep were too unsubtle, in your face. Good musicians, but a band of riffs and mad howls. But when I heard Kashmir, I thought that was brilliant. Not sure what album it was on, but must hear the rest if that's representative.

Yep, couldn't agree more. III is my favourite. IMO it is by far their most adventurous and progressive album.

House of the Holly, but the song remains the same, if we count live albums...
