Achilles Last Stand was their epicest song ever.

I agree 100%. Good variety of styles and contains their epic, 'The Rain Song.'
 
Their epic...?
Confused
Stairway To Heaven or Kashmir has always been considered their epic.....but maybe a Zep fanatic should chime in on this.

Dunno, really.  I'm over Zep - had pretty much all their albums at one stage but only held onto 'III' and 'Prescence'.  They all have decent stuff on them but I fell out of love with them ages ago.

No it wasn't, it was released later but consists of old, unreleased material.

My experience with live Zeppelin material so far has been unspectacular.  I think I really need to get this one, as I'm told it's head and shoulders above any other live material they've released.
 
Yes I would say this is the one to get if you would like to explore some live Zep.
 
About Coda I always considered the reissue bonus tracks to be better than the original album.

 ^ Zeppelin concerts were never about presentation, but rather performance--  if you expect clean and flawless you'll be disappointed.

Then you are a stronger man than I.

Honestly, though, I do like the song quite a bit -- I just don't LOVE it like I do most Zep.

They didnt do a single bad album.
Even "In trough the outdoor", their last and less famous album is a feast , get everything.
 
Live album How We Won The West, is a must too.
 
Coda was made later, and is not great, but at some point most addicts get it anyway.
Prog is whatevey you want it to be. So dont diss other peoples prog, and they wont diss yours

For me there isn't one weak track on PG. Some took a  hell of a lot longer to get into but i totally love  them  all.

Night Flight is one of my favorite songs on PG.  I think the only songs I don't absolutely love on that album are "In My Time of Dying" (just a tad too long) and "Down By the Seaside" (neat sound to that track, but it makes me a little woozy and seasick).

PG is a mixed bag for me; lots of fantastic songs but about half of the album is meh.

Of out curiosity, which ones did you find meh? This is an album where most people seem to agree that is has filler but disagree which songs are actually the filler.


"Custard Pie", "Night Flight", "Sick Again", "Down by the Seaside". (grown to like the album a lot more sense I posted that)
Down by the Seaside might just be my favourite from the album. But I agree that there's a coupe of fillers on the album. Boogie With Stu and Black Country Woman do nothing for me.

^ They can, but I thought that "In My Time Of Dying" is straight to the point. Oh, well.

Physical Graffiti is my personal favorite, but I chose Houses of the Holy (probably my second favorite). I figure if you like IV, you'll definitely like Houses. Then again, if you think you really want to get into Led Zeppelin (which would be a good idea, because every song they wrote was excellent, if you ask me, other than maybe a few extras, like from Coda, which were still alright), then I always say, go with their first album and work your way up.
