78jazz Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 (edited) The poll of the debut albums between these acts inspired this, as this one is a more clear cut winner for me (III). Edited December 9, 2022 by 78jazz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entre_Perpetuo Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 EL for sure. Zep III is not in the same tier 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas King Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 EL easily LZ III is very good, but the weakest out of the first six Zep albums. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IbanezJem Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Electric Landlady has Voodoo Chile. But other than that, is no match for a record containing Immigrant Song, Gallows Pole, Tangerine and Bron-Y-Aur Stomp. I might not have ended the record with Hats off (to Roy) Harper, but there we are. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to believe I used to think LZ III was a weak album. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had been wondering who was pushing this false narrative about III being subpar in some way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mosher Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 LZIII is really my favorite Zeppelin album, so it wins. Possibly the only Zeppelin album that would beat EL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
custom55 Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 (edited) LZ III is so good. Friends -> Celebration Day must be heard together. Out On The Tiles is outstanding. Edited December 8, 2022 by custom55 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rank III much higher than I used to. If nothing else, it has what IMNSHO is their best acoustic song (That's the Way). Plus, is there any better concert opener ever besides Immigrant Song? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
custom55 Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Back in the 70's I had a friend who did not like Led Zeppelin. He was more into The Strawbs, Renaissance, etc. I gave him my LZ III album and said, "have an open mind and give this a listen". The next day he asked if he could borrow more LZ albums. LZ III turned him into a LZ fan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
