ZOSO…"When the Levee Breaks"…?

III, much because of Tangerine

Interesting, I would would have expected IV and Physical Graffiti to be leading the way. Presence has always been grossly underrated in my opinion. Achilles Last Stand, For Your Life, Nobody's Fault But Mine, and Tea For One are some of Zep's finest works. In fact, I think I remember both Page and Plant declaring Presence as their favorite Zeppelin album (or something along the lines of it being the album that best defined the band).

I'm really surprised that I is winning. I would not have thought that. Interesting. For me it's Physical Graffiti by a wide margin though,

I & Graffiti are my two favorites.

I think the thing about I is that it's probably the heaviest, and definitely the bluesiest. It's their most raw and has their least "formal compositions" but its a really intriguing listen.

I picked Physical Graffiti, but I kinda think IV and Physical Graffiti are a tie for greatest Zeppelin album IMO

Yeah, Led Zeppelin I's showing doesn't surprise me so much because the songs on it are kinda classic-rock staples. To me, however, ZOSO is the one where they started making their own blues, which is why I dig it more.

I burned out on IV/Zoso when I was a kid, but even still, it's down the list for me. Tough call between Graffiti and I, but I chose Graffiti. I also LOVE Presence, which comes in a close 3rd. My ranking:

1. Graffiti
2. LZ I
3. Presence
4. Houses
5. LZ II
6. IV/Zoso
7. In/Out Door
8. LZ III

But they are ALL good!

Any one that's not playing.

Voted PG because of Ten Years Gone my favorite Zep song.

 

[aamefford]

I voted IV. It was pivotal in my adolescence...

Good point. I don't think it gets recognized enough that they probably have the most consistent, clunker-less run in rock history. Doesn't get recognized enough by me anyway.

Little revival here.


I'm surprised that no-one has spoke up in defense of 'Houses' even though it received 8 votes.

It's my favorite followed closely by Physical Graffiti, Presence, and IV, and III, and II, and I, and In Through The Out Door, and well CODA I guess too.
