Led Zeppelin Greatest Album?

[Annex]

IV and houses of the holy are really close in my opinion, though neither has the epic "Achilles Last Stand"

Next poll: "Achilles Last Stand"
-Great song
-The greatest song

 

[ParadigmShifter]

No votes for III? I don't think it's their best but I'll have to vote for it anyway, to be balanced and fair, one word:

"Magic Darts!" (no, that was Sid Widdell, try again)
"Since I've been lovin' you" (OK, that's 4 words)

 

[Mr. Dictator]

in order of decreasing quality:

Physical Grafitti
Houses of The Holy
Presence
In Through The Out Door
I
II
III
IV

 

[Loppan Torkel]

Voted I. Most of them are pretty equal imo, but for now I'd say I - IV - II.

 

[sysyphus]

sorry, completely forgot about coda. i never regard it as anything like as good as the others though

Maybe, but it's a good listen for Zep fans, has some intersting things on it. Better than In Through the Out Door if you ask me.

Next poll: "Achilles Last Stand"
-Great song
-The greatest song

Easily their best song. May be the reason I'm fond of Presence, because come to think of it, I'm not too big on any other songs from that album, except maybe Nobody's Fault But Mine.

I'm surprised Kashmir has not been brought up, either as a reason they like Physical Graffiti or just mentioning songs in general.

I always thought Kashmir sounded like a James Bond theme.

 

[Metal Alloy Man]

I'm listening to it right now! Great song.

 

[shortguy]

Led Zeppelin IV

And not because it has Stairway to Heaven.

That, pretty much. And since practically every other song on the album has been mentioned, I'll plug my personal favorite, "When the Levee Breaks."

 

[Cheezy the Wiz]

Physical Graffiti.

 

[DNK]

Considering I just put IV on for fun, I'll go with that.

Lord of the Rings in rock ballad form? Can't beat that. Bring it back! Bring it back! bringitbringitbringitbringitbringiiiiittttwaoaawah rock!

And then there's Stairway, but you can't overlisten to it.

And then there's every other song on the album which is just as awesome. And it's a pretty diverse album, too.

But it's the only one of theirs I own, so I guess I'm biased.

 

[Marsden]

I can't choose. The untitled fourth album sold the most, so that would probably make it greatest, plus every song on it is great. But, I didn't vote because I can't just pick one! All nine for me!


Yes, Coda is good.

 

[Supr49er]

I voted ZOSO (IV).

Every time levees were mentioned during Hurricane Katrina, "If it keeps on Rainin' Levee's Gonna Break" popped into my head.
