no matter how much you wanna vote for IV because of stairway, don't unless you have heard the entire album in its entirty.
im gonna go with Led Zeppelin II since every single song on the album im are great and top notch. (btw, what is that weird little part in "whole lot of love" supposed to be (its from around 1:20 to around 3:30))

also, whats your favorite Zeppelin song, mine is "Heartbreaker" (ive never seen any one successfully complete the solo in that song) and Stairway to Heaven

I own (and love) them all and you would have to kill me to take any of them, however, one would get you killed immediately!

Physical Grafitti

Favorite song is "Over The Hills & Far Away". I voted for Houses of the Holy CD.

Take these two hits of brown blotter acid, wait 20 minutes, cue up "Whole Lotta Love" to 1:20 and then ask that question again.

All will be revealed . . .



As one of the few flat-topped would-be latter-day hippies you'll ever meet, let me chime in with my favorite tune as being: "Going To California." But my favorite whole album is "Houses of the Holy". Go figure.

While I voted for (IV), I love (I) just about as much.

Houses of the Holy. It's got "The Rain Song".

I'm a big fan of II

This is a very hard question, it's like going to a pizza shop and being asked what your favorite topping on pizza is. There are so many good choices, each is special in its own way.

But, if I had to chose I'd go with Houses of the Holy, I love every song except for the dance number The Crunge... Sometimes I can stand it, sometimes I have to run for the skip button.

Argh! Can't decide between II and Houses of the Holy, although I love them all.

Favorite songs would have to be Since I've Been Loving You, the Rain Song, When the Levee Breaks, and here's an odd one: Fool In the Rain.

Me too! It's either II or House Of The Holy.

My vote goes to III. Zepp took a different, experimental turn with this album and it yielded brilliant results, IMO.

Also, if not for the music, the old LP was great in its own right for having the spinning wheel jacket.

since i dont have it yet and it has gottin no votes, how is I since on the "early years"cd, there are like 4 tracks from it. what do you think of it

PG for me,maybe because it had so many songs with so many great songs on it,they took a more mellow direction and it worked out to perfection.

Rypro, like I said, it's almost a toss-up for me between I and IV. I was going to go into all the great songs here, but I can't. All you need to do is buy it....for God's sake man! Go now!

Ok, maybe it's a hippie related thing. I'm a retired hippie (retired from the Dead tour in 1990), but my favorite song is definitely "Going to California" and my favorite whole album is "Houses of the Holy". Go figure.

On a side note, I think it's a tremendous disappointment that IV is known almost entirely as the album with Stairway to Heaven. Not only is that not even the best song on the album, it's not even on the best side of that album (back when albums had sides).

My favorite Zeppelin songs are definitely: "Trampled Underfoot", "Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You", "Ramble On" and "No Quarter"

Led Zeppelin II is probably my favorite overall album.

I voted for Song remains the same. I thing the live albums of that period (Frampton & Kiss) were real and showed the feeling of the live performance.

As a devout 80's british alternative rock fan, I am not even remotely familiar with any of Led Zeplin's material but I'm thinking of getting into them...slowly. As hardcore LD fans, what artist from the 80's brit-rock era would you compare them to? Are they hard HARD rock, or more on the softy side of things?

I don't listen to them as much as I used to, but when I do, Physical Graffiti is the album (yes album) I listen to.

I voted for IV even though it has my favorite and least favorite Zeppelin tunes:

Favorite being: When the Levee Breaks
Least Favorite: Going to California

Of course, other than Going to California, every other song is amazing.

After IV I'd have to go with Houses of the Holy or II... thats a tough call.

Houses of the Holy

I'm not sure which smiley is right...

for some reason, i prefer side one of 4 then 2 (supossing side 2 starts at misty mountain hop)
