Oh, man. That's rough, as Zep's debut is one of my favorites from them. I love all the bluesy-ness.

That VH album, though... is one of the red hottest debuts of all time. Firing on all cylinders here.

I guess I'm into heavier stuff. Don't crucify me.

VH for me.

This is a 'Lay-Up' Led Zep of course. Yet I respect VH even though Eddie beat me to Valerie.
Van Halen is arguably Top Ten band of all-time, Zeppelin is flat-out Top Three if not #1.

- by the way check out "Down by the Seaside" a flatout favorite of mine,
great transistions within the song. Just sublime!

I went with Van Halen, and it's not even close. My favorite Zeppelin Era would be the HOTH-PG-Presence era, and those early bluesy songs don't really hit me.
