Houses of the Holy, which I actually didn't like at first, closely followed by II and VI.  They're actually all great except for the very last one, but those 3 really stand out for me.

Presence, the whole things is great, though Achilles Last Stand is easily the best. Then it's tough, probably Physical Graffiti. But I need to get back into my old Zepp albums, it's been too long since I've listened to anything besides Achilles.

So difficult to say. Can't pick only  one.
LZ III, because I Iove the atmosphere. Songs were composed in a beautiful cottage Bron yr aur and i feel it.
LZ IV because of When the Levee breaks, Stairway, Black Dog, Misty mountain hop and another great songs
PG because of Rover, In the Light, Kashmir...

I didn't have a favorite..but I used to surf through Zeppelin III and IV more than the others. "The Battle of Evermore" was just an amazing ghostly type of song. Robert Plant shares the vocal with Sandy Denny and it is very haunting. I had heard tales for decades how Jimmy Page became interested in open tunings from Ireland and India. He seemed to combine old traditional European guitar tunings and composing pieces which were entirely acoustic and the first indication of this was with the Yardbirds when he recorded "White Summer" from the album "Little Games" Musicians often spoke of Jimmy Page and Sandy Denny attending art school together and I had been curious for years wondering if Sandy Denny had an impact on his taste in music. Perhaps he had a personal interest in European Folk guitar tunings prior to meeting her, but it seems that she would have influenced him because she was closely connected with Dave Cousins, Richard Thompson and others in the U.K. A lot of the acoustic playing of Page reminded me of what Fairport Convention and Pentangle were doing in the late 60's when Page was with the Yardbirds. Page was adding this influence to Zeppelin's music in a major way and he seemed serious about the style mastering some amazing technique...which is displayed on some live film footage of Led Zeppelin where Page performs ethnic styles on acoustic close to 10 minutes. He sits on a stool and takes this style seriously as if it may have been a seperate entity for him.

Either the debut or How The West Was Won. After that, Physical Graffiti, Led Zeppelin IV and II. The rest I don't really care for that much.

Zep is absolutely amasing, even their weakest albums (in my view: IV, Presence ,In Trough)
They are one of the most influencial rock bands ever, constantly changing without loosing "the Zep" feel.
Dosent matter if you call it prog or not, they are above such irrelevant measures.

Prog is whatevey you want it to be. So dont diss other peoples prog, and they wont diss yours

It's hard to pick a favorite, and mine has probably changed many times.  But I think I might have to go with Houses of the Holy because of "The Song Remains the Same", "No Quarter", "Dancing Days", and "The Ocean" all being on it.

I will be honest, I can't stand Zep 1 except for Communication Breakdown. Zep 2 is good in parts, never really got into Zep 3, Zep 4 is a masterpiece obviously with Rock and Roll, Misty Mountain Hop and When the Levee Breaks, HOTH I need to check out again, PG is probably my favourite with Custard Pie, Kashmir, Trampled Under Foot, In my Time of Dying, In the Light, The Wanton Song and others. Presence is the underrated gem in their collection, I enjoy it start to finish and In Through the Out Door is fantastic, to my ears, Carouselambra and In the Evening are great. Coda is alright but more for Zeppelin fan-boys.

My List: Zep 4, Physical Graffiti(favourite), Presence and In Through The Out Door
