IYO, what's the best Led Zeppelin Album??

[BlueWeasel]

I admit, I have never gotten into "Classic" Rock.

I have a friend who is a huge LZ fan, and he has been urging me to give them a try. Tonight, he brought over a MP3 CD full of Zeppelin songs. From what I can tell, he appears to have songs sorted by album each in their own directory.

Honestly, the only LZ song I am familar with is "Stairway to Heaven".

So, which album would you recommend I start with?

 

[Kerouactivist]

You should probably do it chronologically but, I think my favorite is Led zepplin III

 

[DaveSimmons]

All of them are good, and most of them have a real mix of styles from song to song, hard rock / metal, blues, even acoustic playing.

Why not start at the beginning, and hit the next track button for the ones you really don't like?

 

[Iron Woode]

My favourite is Zepplin 4. Also known as Oldman with sticks and The black album. Nice variety of songs, including the best blues song ever made "When the Levee Breaks".

Zepplin 2 is great too.

 

[schizoid]

Don't ask me, cuz I don't like what is traditionally considered good Zep, but...

I'd have to say Houses of the Holy or IV (runes).

 

[Electrode]

3 and 4

 

[N8Magic]

I'd have to agree with the person who said to go chronologically.

My fav LZ CD would have to be I or Presence.

 

[ElFenix]

iV, though presence and physical graffiti rock too. as does the BBC sessions.

 

[Vic]

Tough call. I guess my overall fav is II, but I also really like Physical Graffiti and then Presence has my all-time fav Zep song, "Nobody's Fault but Mine."

 

[anxi80]

iv. levee breaks.

 

[Mustangrrl]

IV for me. I love the whole thing.

 

[ElFenix]

i just realized i didn't have the BBC sessions mp3'd. so i put disc one in the drawer and start ripping encoding. EAC says its done so i go and check and its all screwed to hell. this is what happens when you have the same filename 4 times.

 

[UDT89]

I never did like Presence - did you?

 

[glen]

Start with Led Zepplin I
Their only not so great album is Presence.

 

[Aceshigh]

I really love Led Zepplin IV.

 

[Platypus]

I am the lone wolf on this it seems, but I and III are my favourites

 

[Amused]

There is no single "best" Led Zeppelin album. Your best bet is to experience them as people did when they came out, i.e., chronologically.

 

[Stark]

II, then I

IV isn't even close

 

[Insomnium]

IV and Houses of the Holy. Personally love every song on those 2; can't say the same for I and II though those are great too.

 

[Nohr]

Led who?

 

[eplebnista]

IV
