what I loved about lll was its psychedelic flavor, some of their strangest music; Friends, Celebration Day, BronYAur Stomp, Hats Off..

lV is the one that doesn't hold up, imo.. simple, even adolescent. 'Out Door' is world-class and 'Coda' is a blast. Best albums ll, lll, PG, Presence, ITtOD, and nothing beats those chords that open the first record... electrifying.

Physical Graffiti was my least favorite LZ album at the time I bought it ...  Mebbe because reviewers were comparing it (mostly unfavorably) to Exile on Main St., or because I was expecting another "Over the Hills" or "The Ocean", or because Plant's voice had dropped an octave.  The folkie-countryish numbers seemed lightweight and superfluous, and "Trampled Under Foot" was just the latest DIsco Sell Out. And I absolutely hated "Kashmir".  Yet unlike Exile, a solid but rather homogeneous set, PG continues to grow on me precisely because of the eclectic assortment. I rate it even above IV.

"No Quarter" is their most prog IMO. The guitar is cosmic, like the keyboards.

I love all of them, anyway we're talking about prog, and "Houses Of The Holy" is the closest to this genre, hell, songs like "No Quarter", "Over the hills and far away" and "The Rain Song" are Zeppelin-Filtered prog.

That was probably best, what is there to say really? Conversley, I once heard two guys discussing Zep, "They were really the kings.." one of them said. Pleased, I too said nothing.

Houses here.  I actually find that Misty Mountain Hop and Four Sticks nearly ruin IV for me.

100% in agreement. The Rain Song and No Quarter are far superior on the live album.

 

Still waiting to find out what UFFF is!


I voted for 'Houses..' but I agree the live versions are much better, especially 'No Quater' which is a masterpiece.

Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

Light the Fire? IV. Best of the three (IMO)? Physicall Graffiti. But I love all Zep albums, even "In Through the Out Door", that is very poppy and with some uninspered songs.
 
Ah - I like the comment about their first album. Man, what a shock! It was my first Zep album and I can feel til today the sensation of fear and joy of listening my first real heavy album!

Houses Of The Holy, not because it's the proggiest, but because it's got "The Rain Song" and "Over The Hills And Far Away."

It is like a sigh I guess.. Like Ufffff they are good!

Or maybe it's the sound the pick-up system of his record player makes when coming off the record?

Oops, misunderstood the topic line. I thought it was to ask if Led Zep were indulgentBig%20smile.     Which they were, in a mostly good way ( we won't stray into the morals wide of things)

I have to buck the trend here & say Houses Of The Holy is probably my least favorite album by LZ - I agree with Atavachron "The music on Houses is best on the live 'Song Remains the Same'".

For me, from the three listed, I'd have to go with Physical Graffiti; in fact, this is probably my favorite all-round LZ album (marginally ahead of III)- such a variety of styles, all topped off with 'Kashmir'.
