I don't listen to goddamn radio so I don't got that sort of 'overplayed' bias. To me, Led Zeppelin has never been overplayed. Why? Because I've never given 'em a chance to be over-heard. (not overhead, mind you).
So coming at it without that bias, I put them both on the same level. I hate parts of both and really enjoy parts of both. I really enjoy Queen's singing and diversity. I really enjoy Led Zeppelin's heavy guitar aspect. I really hate it any time Led Zeppelin 'branched out' or 'went prog'. I really hate when Queen 'went opera' and their entire guitar tone pisses me off on poorer days.
So I put 'em both on the same level and put Night at the Opera on the same level as IV. Queen II? I put that on the same level as Led Zeppelin I (one step lower than Night and IV). So tharrr.

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

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).

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.

Never heard Queen II, but I'm not crazy about Going to California and "that damned wedding song" Stairway'. I'm going to cast caution to the wind and say that the former, without knowing a lick of it, must be better-I've been hearing high praise for it for years anyhow.

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.
