| 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. ------------- I should have been a pair of ragged claws Scuttling across the floors of uncertain seas |

Probably 3...or 1. Actually, I play the whole thing all the way through when I listen. Great album. ------------- ...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology... |

| 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 ------------- "Too often we enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought." -- John F. Kennedy |

Funny, for me it is the D-side. ------------- "Too often we enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought." -- John F. Kennedy |

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. ------------- The razamataz is a pain in the bum |

I can't choose, all of it is great, one of LZ's best albums.

Each side has exactly one of my favorite Zep songs (Rover, Kashmir, Ten Yrs, Night Flight). What a tough call. No vote. ------------- My other avatar is a Porsche It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle if it is lightly greased. -Kehlog Albran |

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 so many of you I've got my doubts about how much to contribute to the already rich among us...' Robert Wyatt, Gloria Gloom |

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. ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone.
