goose Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Lately, In Through the Out Door has been getting more play than any other album. I love I'm Gonna Crawl, All of My Love, In the Evening, Fool in the Rain, Carouselambra... I think this album has Robert's best vocals, as I prefer his lower register. I've also been giving Houses of the Holy more attention. It's never been a favorite, due to Robert's vocals. But musically, The Song Remains the Same, Rain Song, No Quarter are so strong that I can get past the helium balloon-inspired vocals. And Zoso is still as strong an album start to finish ascI've ever heard. So there's my three. Speaking of three...Zep III gets the nod for honorable mention. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I've heard that said before about the helium spoiling the party. It's never bothered me really. Away from the topic but have they ever made THE perfect album? Me thinks not. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I've heard that said before about the helium spoiling the party. It's never bothered me really. They actually sped up the tape to get the vocals high enough to be in pitch. Not a fan of the sound. I don't like Geddy's high register either...the Cygnus stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Ged, I'm more turned off by the last few tours than studio work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willowroolz Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 I've always been partial to Presence, probably because it was the first one I heard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaportrailer Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 fave 3:Phys GrafIVIII bottom 2:IICoda II in the bottom two? Yeah, although it was a coin-toss between it and ITtOD. Despite its strengths and historical importance (and popularity with fans), there are a couple of tunes on II that I don't particularly enjoy, and the production at times is problematic. As much as I love drums and John Bonham, I find him too high in the mix on occasion, which makes certain performances seem 'bash-y'. (sacrilege! sacrilege!)There are still some great moments here, but just not as many to my ears as on other albums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod in Toronto Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 I couldn´t rank them, but one thing I noticed while thinking about this, is how every Zep album is awesome, and yet, all of them have their not so great songs, ecept fo IV, which is awesome from start to finish. Also, they were never about doing a "perfect take", but were always going for the most natural souding ones. So you got all those cool sounding "mistakes" all over their albums. Like Lucas, I was always partial to In Through the Out Door - an uncle of mine gave it to me from his personal collection once I told him I was starting to get into metal/rock. And I hated Presence for a long while, until I got the reissue in 2015. That album has grown on me a lot! And much like goose, I prefer Robert´s lower register, which is shown both on ITTOD and Presence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rutlefan Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 IVPG / HotH / II (tied)III After that it's all a toss up for me though I've found that the older I get the more I appreciate ITTOD; take away Hot Dog and it's a really cool collection of songs IMO.
