While there are phenomenal songs on all four sides, please vote for the side you feel is the strongest and most consistent compositionally. I'm guessing Side 2 will win because of "Kashmir", but my vote is for Side 3, the only one without any weak links.

This one is very easy for me to D-side on, my vote definitely goes down to the C-side (side three). The B-side comes second.

Same for me. Side three is not only the best side on this set but also one of the best sides in vinyl recorded history IMHO.

Probably 3...or 1. Actually, I play the whole thing all the way through when I listen. Great album.

If side three has "Ten Years Gone", that's the one. It's my fave LZ tune.

The whole album is like an ancient blues Long Player.  You can almost hear the scratches & pops of old vinyl.

Oh--   Side 4

Funny, for me it is the D-side.

II, III, IV, I in that order. But I spin all 4 sides in order when I listen to the album.

All sides, but especially side 3. It has just a bit more magic.

Each side has exactly one of my favorite Zep songs (Rover, Kashmir, Ten Yrs, Night Flight). What a tough call. No vote.

Yep this. I love a bit of Custard Pie and IMTOD is just awesome, especially Bonzo.

Side 2, although I prefer to enjoy the whole album straight through.

Like most here I own all the Zep lp's...but this one always troubled me in that it had a handful of really good songs and a lot of what I consider mediocre tracks....but tbh Kashmir is the one I like to hear the most so I guess side 2.
