In light of the Pink Floyd Album thread, I'm just so tempted to do this poll.
All of these albums are great. I'm not including BBC Sessions, How The West Was Won, or any compilation album to speak of. I am only counting their studio albums.
This poll is VERY HARD for me to vote on. If there was a bad apple in the bunch, to me it'd be In Through The Outdoor.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jul 2002 Location: Edmonton AB | | | I'm going to go with the popular choice and say "Zeppelin IV", mostly because I like pretty much every song on it, the only exceptions being "The Battle Of Evermore" and to a lesser degree "Four Sticks". Other than that, the whole album is fantastic, and no matter how overplayed "Stairway" may be, it's still an amazing song.
My second pick would be "Zeppelin II", for the sheer awesomeness of "The Lemon Song", "Bring It On Home" and "What Is..."
Should've made this one a poll... |

I voted Zeppelin II because the blues-rock on that album is top notch. I think they're all great, that's why this poll sucks. I want to pick them all  .

The first album has some gems like "Dazed And Confused", but to me it's a bit "timid" compared with Led Zeppelin II. |

| | | | i went for II aswell. Heartbreaker and living loving maid are my favs. I also love that looong tripping out part in the middle of Whole Lotta Love and then back in, to that guitar solo. |

|  | I'm a tumbler, born under punches | | Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: Northern California | | This is one of those, "ask me again in a week" type polls for me. I have a huge CD collection (1632 at last count though it's been a while) but somehow I generally find a Led Zeppelin cd among the 20 or so that are normally in my car.
Lately it's been III which is what I voted for. Not a single song that I skip. Not even "Hats Off to Roy Harper" which I hated when I was a kid. Some beautiful acoustic work, with some of Plant's best lyrics and my favorite of their blues in "Since I've Been Loving You". Plus it has a song about vikings. How can you beat that? 
I was tempted to be the first person to vote for Houses of the Holy as it has some great songs on it. The opening three of "Song Remains the Same", "The Rain Song" and "Over the Hills and Far Away" might be the best opening salvo of any Zep album IMO. I also love Dancing Days and No Quarter. But "D'yer Maker" and especially "The Crunge" (the worst song in their catalog in my eyes) bring that album down a few notches. |

| | | | Zeppelin I for me... it's all there, it's raw, great performances all round, great tones.. I've been a fan for 15 years and after KILLING all the albums Zep I is the one I can still listen to from start to finish...

Zep established themselves with Volume I. Vol II allowed unrestricted freedom, and how can anyone argue with the fretless bassline in Ramble On? |

Not as good as the prior ones but you gotta admit Achillies Last Stand is AWESOME! The drum work that Bonham performed in that song is phenominal. The epitome of all his work in that one song. Just dynamite! Even if the rest of that album sucks {which it don't, but it's okay compared to previous albums} Achillies Last Stand makes it credible.

Enjoy the bass on this classic... |
