Nothing against Queen, but I think those albums are really in different levels, as you can also see in this poll. If there had been Night at the Opera from Queen, I think it would be more reasonable. So LZ IV was my vote.

Both are so lauded it makes one nauseous.   Still, nice to see old classics still loved.

Led Zeppelin IV by several parsecs!

its a better than decent album... worth checking out if you're bored I suppose.

Led Zeppelin IV.

When he rides, my fears subside.
For darkness turns once more to light.
Through the skies, his white horse flies.
To find a land beyond the night.

how is that a surprise? it is one of the most well known albums ever to anyone, as well as the best selling. i find the superior of the two here and gave the vote to it as a result.

Easily Queen II!

Without even knowing it at the time, Queen II probably turned out to be the first `proper' prog album I ever heard. `Orge Battle', `March Of The Black Queen', floored me! I'd never heard anything like it!! :)

So that album is very special to me still (even though I don't listen to Queen a lot these days).

Queen II. Probably the most underrated album of all time. Pink Floyd's Animals is a close second.
