Probably, Led Zeppelin IV for me, but I'm not too partial, I love almost all of their albums.

sure, and why not? Led Zeppeling took the blues and did progress it. look at a song like "Since I've Been Loving You" from their third album; that is progressive blues

Need a prog blues sub genre or something.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Remasters?
Actually the side 1 of Led Zep 4
and side 1 of Led Zep 3
would be the best ever Zep album for me
but I cant go past Led Zep 4 for masterpiece only for side 1 if nothing else.

I love the three first albums and after that I've pretty much lost interest in Led Zeppelin. But I'd say that I is the best. If there is one album that describes rock'n'roll perfectly, it's that album.

Anything from Led Zep I - Physical Graffitti I suppose. None of those albums as a whole do much for me

then why make a thread?-- and the only filler on Phys is 'Boogie With Stu' hmm, best would probably be II or III, but for personal fave I'd say In Through the Out Door or PG

You're right, Mr/Ms Dark Elf, there's no filler. Just a couple of tracks I don't see as essential, but still great music.

Physical Graffiti. And I don't hear any filler. "Black Country Woman" has a great blues mandolin lick, and "Boogie With Stu" features Rolling Stone co-founder and pianist Ian Stewart (that would be "Stu") with that wonderfully warped boogie-woogie on an untuned piano.

The only less-than-essential tracks for me are Boogie With Stu, Night Flight and Black Country Woman. All the rest are pure gold.

Physical Graffiti. The proggiest, heaviest, most ideas-rich, fullest expression of their sound. If they'd put 'Achilles' Last Stand' on side 4, replacing a couple of the lesser tracks, it would have been perfect. |
ther are some fillers on physical, it could have been better as a single album, but all are good from1 to this one, presence is a bit monotonous
