"Physical Graffiti" is my favorite Led Zep album, closely followed by "Presence".

"Coda" is my least favorite Led Zep album (probably should have just kept that one in the vault), closely followed by "In Through The Out Door".

Favorite Album: Led Zep II and it's not even close. One of the greatest riffs to open an album in rock history (Whole Lotta Love). A good album from start to finish. Their debut album would probably be my second favorite although its close with Graffiti.


Worst: I don't even consider Coda to be Zeppelin album. So, of the ones prior to Bonham's death, I'd say that Presence is easily the worst. Seriously, no offense to anyone that likes that album, but I have found it to be a truly craptastic album for as long as I can remember. Led Zep III is a close second.

I like all Zeppelin but if I had to pick then CODA would make the top of my least favorite.

It's a tad annoying.

Best is Physical Graffiti. Least favorite. Coda, but that was never meant to be an album so I'd have to say In Through the Out Door. But the worst Zeppelin record is better than most bands best record.

Best would be II,,,worst I agree with most of you Coda was not a proper album, so In Through the Out Door for me as well.

Most favorite: Physical Graffiti. Ten Years Gone, House of the Holy, Black Country Woman. It was my first "headphone" album way back when. It's a nice composite of songs, old and new, on many pleasurable levels. I've often felt that it is also kind of a summary or a bookend to the previous 6.5 years of their music before they shifted to the next Zep level.

Least favorite: IV. No denying it's a significant album and I'm on board with that. When the Levee Breaks - the benchmark drum sound is fantastic. Essential classic rock songs, all eight of them. When craving to listen to some Zep though, I just don't reach for IV. I can recite the lyrics forwards and backwards to Stairway, Rock and Roll and Black Dog thanks to the geniuses at Clear Channel.

Led Zeppelin I. i feel that with each album they got progressively worse. im not a fan of their later stuff at all. Houses of the Holy is the last good album and its saved with a few select, kickass songs

 

[Foxhound]

I agree. Their first few albums were noticeably better than their last few.
