Houses Of The Holy! I bought that album and wore the grooves out. Still love it this day - nothing gets my blood going like hearing The Song Remains The Same. John Bonham drove that band like a giant windmill.Wink

Led Zeppelin IV. Not only the songs and production are perfect, but it has a special vibe which is sorely lacking on the following albums, despite their having some great tracks.

As far as live albums go, I love all of them, even the maligned "Song Remains the Same" (which has the best version of The Rain Song, and makes the original version unlistenable for me). How the West Was Won and the BBC albums were highly welcome, and they are great, but I had them on high-quality boots for years prior to their official release, so it wasn't really anything new for me.

However, the one I feel the closest to is the Page & Plant No Quarter album. I was in a *huge* LedZep phase for a good year or so prior to that, and that MTV reunion just came out at the perfect time - and it was exactly what I was hoping for, and more. It was loved by many when it came out, but it seems to have been quickly forgotten about. I'm not sure why. I *love* the renditions of almost all the songs on that album - No Quarter, The Battle of Evermore, Kashmir, Nobody's Fault But Mine, Four Sticks, Friends, Gallow's Pole, When the Levee Breaks. Just... Perfect. It could not have been done better.

At last, another "The Song Remains The Same" fan. Before then all I heard about it was that it is a weak track. No s$&t.

Led Zep 4 I suppose since it seems to be their most complete and well rounded lp, though I think all up to and including Presence are very good.
The first one holds a special place for me because it came out when I was graduating from high school and everyone was getting high and playing it and talking about it...so it is a time and place thing  for me. Number 2 likewise since I can still recall buying it at college and running over to my brother's dorm room to listen with him.and his friends. 3 was a bit strange at first but has some really nice folky tunes, Grafitti , as some have already said, would probably have been a better  single lp, and Presence has one of my favorite songs by them..Nobody's Fault.
btw I read once that Page claims Presence is his personal favorite of all the lp's they did....go figure.

Really......that's interesting since your heroes in Rush were all influenced by Zep. They have said so many times.

Not sure why or how but at a certain point I no longer had any interest in IV--  maybe because it got so much play, or because there's no real jam on it.   It certainly is strong and beautifully mixed, but I'll take any other record over it, including Coda.

I'm allowed to say I don't like them am I not?  Too much Baby, baby, babay from Robert Plant. Last I checked Rush hardly ever spews "baby" in their lyrics

Anyway, I'm glad HotH is getting a lot of love here. By far their most progressive work. As much as I don't like doing this, I actually agree with Gosha Starostin here - the record does sound kind of Yes-ish.

Does anyone think the stylistic diversity on the record is unnecessary in some places (reggae, doo-wop, ...)?

I thought you were for stylistic diversity?
