[FlashHarry]

6. The Hindenberg, natch!

Oh, what wiseasses we are!

(Actually, I'm partial to Houses of the Holy.)

Edited for closed parentheses.

[ironflange]

53. I agree, Graf Zeppelin

A classic, the '57 Chevy of dirigibles.

[bubblesby2002]

2. Houses of the Holy rocks

[jus_the_facts]

10. lovin' it for the *gazillionth* time.....

.."...many times I've loved...many times been bitten...many times I've gazed along the open road...." :loveya: Over The Hills And Far Away :loveya:

[VelmaD]

8. Led Zeppelin III

I'm kinda attached to that one...a certain someone sings me the intro to "Immigrant Song" to make me giggle and it just cracks me up every time. :-)

[jus_the_facts]

13. 'In Thru The Out Door' playin' always takes me back...

....to a sweet memory too! :evilgrin:

[Zomby Woof]

18. that's my other favorite Zep!

Their most underrated album. "Since I've Been Loving You" just KILLS. Gimme "Out On The Tiles", "Friends", and "Gallows Pole" too!

[Zorro]

58. III's got hits and misses

but I absolutely agree "Since I've Been Loving You" is an absolute killer of a song. It's a gem that gets very little airplay, which makes it that more special, I guess.

My favorite has to be IV, with every track a home run. Those were the days.

[bushwakker]

9. Physical Graffiti

Jut a tour de force from beginning to end. If you don't have the latest live disc "West" or the DVD get it....NOW!!

[Intelsucks]

11. Same here... Zep III would be my second choice.

[jus_the_facts]

14. ooooo lovin' the lips.....

....the STONES are GODS too! ;-)

[Intelsucks]

15. I like your Black Sabbath sig line. I wish there was more talk here about

the old Ozzy Black Sabbath. I'll never get tired of those albums.

[jus_the_facts]

16. I've got 'em all.....listen regularly to 'em still......

....Black Sabbath....Paranoid....Technical Ecstasy...Master Of Reality...Sabbath Bloody Sabbath....Sabotage....Never Say Die....Black Sabbath Vol.4...it never get's old to me either...gotta love it! :)

[ProfessorGAC]

36. Same Order For Me

Graffiti, III, I, and Presence would be the order for me.
The Professor

[jus_the_facts]

12. Boogie With Stu....gawd I loooove it.......

......In The Light....Down By The Seaside...it's ALL awesome! ;-)

[Zomby Woof]

17. Houses of the Holy

"No Quarter" and "The Rain Song" show two sides of Zeppelin at their finest, with the usual Page rave-up on "The Song Remains The Same" thrown in for good measure. Considering what a task it must have been to follow up the masterful 4th album, they really pulled it off. This album mines reggae, folk, pop, and funk effectively (and humorously), with none of the poor blues rip-offs of the early albums. I usually list this one as Zep's best.

Where is the confounded bridge? (Best pun on a rock album ever)

[jus_the_facts]

22. "....upon us all a little rain must fall....."

....The Rain Song is one of the most beautiful songs ever recorded....it grooves to the core of my soul every time! :o

[Zomby Woof]

19. No votes for "Presence"?

That's their most underrated album alongside III, maybe even more than III, because that one at least had "Immigrant Song" as a hit single. "Tea For One" shreds my boots in two. Page plays his best blues since III's "Since I've Been Loving You", and Plant nearly sings them without sounding like he sucked on helium beforehand.

[jus_the_facts]

20. well I've a fondness for Presence....

...I'm a Zep head tho..it's all good! :evilgrin:

[Loonman]

21. Presence gets a bad rep for some reason

I like it.

"Nobody's Fault But Mine" is a good one. "Candy Store Rock" is cool, too.

The only Zep I don't own is Coda. After hearing it at a friend's house, I figured I didn't neeed it.

[Intelsucks]

23. I think "Presence" is better than "In Through The Out Door"

CODA is definitely for completists only... It doesn't have too much to offer.

[Loonman]

25. Yeah, I like the raw, obnoxious sound to it

I got into Zeppelin when I wanted to find the roots of all the Gothic stuff I was listening too, and unsurprisingly it all led to Zep, The Doors and Sabbath..

[Westegg]

39. Presence rocks....

And you're right that plenty of Gothic roots (I'm talking music now) can be traced back to Zep, not the least the underrated Presence. It's probably their most consistetly "raw" and intense album. Recorded in 18 days---a VERY short period of time for the band---it came about due to a near-fatal car crash involving Robert Plant and his family. The resulting injuries forced the band to cancel a year's worth of tour plans, and the resulting album reflects much of the tension and anxiety they were feeling in their lives at that time.

Achilles Last Stand is a crushingly brilliant example of Page at his best as guitar wizard and album producer. And Tea For One is an excellent example of them at their slow-blooze best.

You have good taste, my friend.

[Loonman]

46. Thanks!

:)

[jus_the_facts]

48. what happened to your Sex Pistol sig pic....

.....I tripped on it...now it is no more x(

[Loonman]

50. Just a little too big

Seeing how my replies and posts are usually 1-2 sentences.

I haven't settled on one yet, so PiL is up today.

[jus_the_facts]

51. awww man........

....post that motha regardless...it's ANARCHY...always dug that song and the scene in Sid'n'Nancy when they're playin' it on the Queens Birthday!! :D

[kmla]

24. Don't like 'em. Never did.

*puts on asbestos jumpsuit*

Flame away!!!!

[jus_the_facts]

26. Nahh....to each his own....

.....go in peace blasphemer! :evilgrin:

:hi:

[kmla]

29. Ah..... Come on. I'm baitin' you guys here!

Although I will admit to liking most of Robert Plant's solo stuff...

Here - maybe this will get the flames-a-flyin' -



Boy George Rules!!!!

Bwahahahaha!!!!!

[jus_the_facts]

33. eeeew.....

:nuke:

[Westegg]

41. I once got in a fight with Boy George...

It was at the Odeon in NYC in about 1986. I got up to take a pee, and when I came back, George had stolen my chair. Well, I protested, quite naturally. He stood up to confront me. Dude was TALL! Words were exchanged. Shoves were exchanged. He knocked me over (I was very drunk at the time). The management kicked ME out!

I still think I could take him...

As far as your musical tastes go---hey, whatever gets you through the night, baby.

[kmla]

43. Nahh. Just posted it for the "turd in a punch bowl" effect

that it would carry.

Don't mind his/their music, but I don't have it on heavy rotation on my CD player, either.

[Intelsucks]

28. When I meet someone who doesn't like Led Zeppelin

they are usually ultra-hard-core Pink Floyd fans. Would this be an accurate statement about you?

No flames... Just wondering if my instincts are correct. :shrug:

[jus_the_facts]

30. I am also a hard core Floyd fan.....

....bloody yes indeed! :thumbsup:

[kmla]

32. Nope. I think Pink Floyd took themselves a little too seriously...

Not too much into the "look at me - the tortured artist" schtick. Decent rock music. But take 'em or leave 'em - I could go either way..

[Westegg]

45. Floyd vs. Zep? I like them both...

And most Zeppelin fans I know appreciate the peculiar musical genius of The Floyd---at least up to and including "The Wall."

Floyd fans, on the other hand, seem to have a bit of a chip on their collective shoulder about Zep, I'll grant you that. I don't know why, except that Zeppelin is perhaps too "rawk 'n' roll" for them. Yet every Zeppelin fan, for instance, recognizes the way Page and Plant admired Joni Mitchell and Joan Baez, among many others. Guess we're just more open-minded!

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

27. How The West Was Won

Can't be beat. The best of the old songs, played better than ever!

[Faygo Kid]

31. The Hindenburg? Seriously, I feel so old - Cadillac commercials!!

Led Zeppelin - college years, the early '70s, rock on. Now, theme music for Cadillac commercials. I am ancient.

[Bertha Venation]

34. Immigrant Song.

Don't know what album it's on.

Also like Kajmir.

[jus_the_facts]

35. Zep III and Physical Graffiti

:hi:

[Bertha Venation]

47. Thanks!

The guy on verygood.com (is that the name of the site) did that song w/ Viking Kittens... hilarious.

[Intelsucks]

37. Funny thing about this poll...

When you started it yesterday, it took a long time for Physical Graffiti to even get one vote... Now look at the poll results... I knew it would win.

I can't believe that anyone voted for CODA.:shrug:

[kmla]

38. I think it was that guy who posted the Boy George picture a few

posts up.

No wait. That was me.

Never mind.

:shrug:

[NightTrain]

40. The song remains dated, boring, and overplayed

:P

[jus_the_facts]

42. don't even get me started mister.....

....damn...*sigh* :P

[mvd]

49. Hi, jus_the_facts!

I think I'd choose Physical Graffiti - I think this is the album that most shows the full capabilities of the band. :loveya:

[jus_the_facts]

52. Hey mvd!!

....excellent choice! :loveya: :*

[brainwashed_youth]
