Inspired by the Pink Floyd thread, but easier due to the fewer number of albums.

No. 1 - Physical Graffiti - the greatest hard rock album of all time
No. 2 - IV - a perfect album, so far ahead of what their contemporaries were doing
No. 3 - I - the monster that started it all
No. 4 - II - tells you the strength of the band when this album is at number 4
No. 5 - Houses of theHoly
No. 6 - III - Could easily be ranked a lot higher
No. 7 - Presence - seven albums in and still as heavy as ever, Achilles Last Stand is a masterpiece of rock
No. 8 - In Through the Out Door - the drugs weren't working
No. 9 - Coda - post-humous mish-mash, prefer the extended box set version

Live albums and dvds
No. 1 - How the West Was Won - holy shit, discs 2 and 3 are phenominal
No. 2 - Led Zeppelin dvd - what an amazing retrospective, left me wanting more
No. 3. - Song Remains the Same soundtrack - this is supposed to be the band on an off night, how good were they on an on night
No. 4 - Song Remains the Same dvd - live footage is good, non-live footage is a distraction
No. 5 - Live at the BBC - I hate live recordings with overdubbed guitars, does show how far the band came though

For me:

1. III-So underrated it's silly, but always the first album I turn to when I want to listen to Zeppelin.
2. Houses-Not my favorite album, but the album with many of my favorite songs.
3. II-Ohhhhhh man. Several of the best guitar solos ever.
4. IV-So great, yet almost too perfect, if you know what I mean. Too many songs I've heard 10000000 times.
5. I-Great potential and great songs. I still get chills every time I hear the "Dazed and Confused" intro.
6. Physical Graffiti-Great stuff, but some of it is just a little overblown. "Ten Years Gone" is my favorite Zeppelin song, hands down.
7. Presence-Alternately great and dull.
8. In Through the Out Door-Eh.

1. Physical Graffiti- So wait, i get 2 albums worth of zep? well yeah, ill take it
2 I- front to back. Power and Soul.
3. III- Since Ive been Loving You= best blues every played by white people
4. II- Incredible stuff.
5. In through the out door- Consistantly underrated. some weak songs, but the high points are amazing creative- also quite a risk
6. Presence- two weeks? thats all we have? well lets get crackin
7. IV- Good album. Anthems abound.
8. Houses of the Holy- I think has aged more poorly that any other zeppelin album. Sounds a little dated.
9. CODA- i actually prefer this version of i cant quit you baby, and some of the other stuff is fun, but obviously doesnt have the cohesive album feel of the others.


Live Stuff (official)
1. BBC Sessions. Overdubbed or not, hearing these guys young and raw is powerful shit. tracklist is a lil' odd though
2. Led Zeppelin- DVD- incredible.
3. How the West was won- I liked it a lot, but i dont find myself playing it as much as i thought i would
4. Song Remains the Same DVD- How was since ive been loving you left off the CDs?
5 See #4


And i dont think anything is better than an ole zep bootleg.
