The Analog Cub Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 This question has probably been asked a million times throughout this forum's 10 year tenure, but I'm curious. My vote goes to Houses Of The Holy. Perfect blend of everything Zeppelin was good at, and each tune has the ability to stand out on its own, and zero filler. TSRTS: Fantastic rampage of doubleneck guitar, drums, and everything in between.Rain Song: Great ballad showcasing Plant's voice, Page's guitar chops, and JPJ's keyboardsOTHAFA: The "pop hit" of the album, but a good tune nonetheless.The Crunge: Where's that confounded bridge? :DDancing Days: Nice standard hard rock song.D'yer Maker: Interesting little funk number.No Quarter: Easily one of the best tracks they've ever written. The version from the reunion tour in 2007 is bone-chilling.The Ocean: Bonham at his finest. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisible airwave Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 LZII Ocean and Levee are my favorite songs though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclonus X-1 Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 I'm not a big Zeppelin fan, but the two songs I really like by them are Over the Hills and Far Away and No Quarter, and Houses has them both, so... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamie Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 In Through The Out Door has recently been a favorite of mine. i also love LZIII and Presence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluefox4000 Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 The Debut easily. Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sitboaf Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 (edited) HOTH, for the spooky No Quarter, and the mellotron-filled Rain Song.The post-vinyl/cassette fast transition from "Where's that confounded bridge?" to the killer riff of Dancing Days I find tremendously enjoyable every time. Strangely, I can't stand the running order. I want the album to end with No Quarter or Rain Song, not my least favorite track, The Ocean.

Your_Lion Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Led Zeppelin IVBut I could easily have gone for III, HOTH (where the Rebel base is located) or Physical Graffiti 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By Tor Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 This has got to be one of the hardest questions to answer in Rock . But I`v e gone for Physical Graffiti .Probably as its a double album , double the music . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick N. Backer Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Through HOTH they're all great. But only one of them has Whole Lotta Love and Heartbreaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laughedatbytime Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 One more for the debut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gudbuytjane Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Not sure that it is actually my favourite, but lately the album I reach for is Physical Graffiti. (I've been a LZ fan since I was a youngin, and I think the allure for PG for me these days is that I didn't listen to it to death back then, so it still has novelty for me.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReRushed Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Either the debut or Physical Graffiti. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rutlefan Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Physical Graffiti. Though II through HotH represent the definitive LZ for me, PG puts an exclamation point on it all and sort of sums it up; what followed PG is fairly forgettable by Zeppelin's standards. I also just love the atmosphere of PG, esp Kashmir through Ten Years Gone. It caps their glory years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powderfinger Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Houses of the Holy by a nose over Physical Graffiti. Although, "D'yer Mak'er" almost irritates me enough to bump it down to number two. Almost... And I still love the first album—the unbridled power of "Good Times, Bad Times" continues to impress. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
len(songs) Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 PhysGraf, followed by HOTH and LZI. Mostly because PG has my favorite Zep song period (and it's not the one you're thinking of) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
