Presence is my least favourite Zep studio album, but I still like it. I haven't heard that Black Sabbath album.

Presence is just as good as anything else Led Zep ever did

Yeah I'm with you man.  Presence is a classic that just gets better the more I revisit it.  To me it is their last worthwhile moment, live or studio, as they began to deteriorate fast in '77.  But what a swan song it is.  Totally rockin, muscular, and consistent.  Epic songs, bluesy songs, every track makes ya wanna groove.

Easily Presence for me. Love the sound and a huge Zep fan Tongue Only really like the early BS albums (pretty much goes downhill chronologically to be honest)

TE is not up to the standard of any of the previous Black Sabbath albums but I've always enjoyed it as it is a good album in any event. TE for me easily.

Myself i've enjoyed TE immensley over the years.The album as a very special place in my heart.In fact it's the only picture disc i ever bought.Dirty Women,It's Alright & You Won't Change Me are indeed special links to my past.I'm just now beginning to get into Presence after all these years,but there are only about 4 tracks i can handle at this point.Achilles is awesome though!Tea for One ain't bad either.

Here we have 2 controversial albums both released in 1976 by rock giants Black Sabbath & Led Zeppelin. Both albums consistantly get mixed and even bad reviews.I will vote for Black Sabbath TE as i'd rather listen to it song for song.I will say in my opinion that Led Zeps Achilles Last Stand is the best track of either album though.
