Led Zeppelin

I've got the same boxset. Except I paid full retail for it.

As I understand it, Zep was a pretty good band.

All of their albums are great (except for, maybe, The Song Remains The Same), but if I had to choose one that I'd take anywhere, it'd be IV. Having my personal favorite song, "Stairway To Heaven", on it doesn't hurt at all.

Led Zeppelin, enough said. my favourite band of all time, favourite albums probaly gotta be all of em, every album had at least one masterpiece song on it, I would really love to get my hands on a Physical Graffitti album, I can never find it and that album is killer! Zeppelin are GODS!

and ya jimmy page does like like he is turning japanse, (hmmm sounds like a song by the Vapours )

I love 'em. Always have, always will. Favorite albums are "Houses of the Holy" and Zep 3.

LOVE Zep III! The acoustic vibe probably turned a lot of fans off at the time, but it still brought a lot of heavy material to the table. Every song's a keeper, IMO.

My favorite drum prank involves Zeppelin... I'll ask a drummer this and wait, "how old were you when you learned how to play "Going To California" ?

In my teenage years they were my fav band, had their whole catalogue. 111was my fav. Later I purged them.
20yrs pass by and I re discovere them and find I like and love there accousic and blues stuff then Raising Sand with Allison Krauss comes along, what more can I say!...........Awesome!

Zepp III is definitely a highly underrated album. You're right when you say it had its share of heavy material. When done right, acoustic songs create a chilling mood that can surpass distortion and shred solos, not that Zepp ever was much for the shred.

Zepp were one of my founding bands when I got into old-school rock, and this was my second album of theirs I bought. "Since I've Been Lovin' You" blew my mind; I'd never heard anything like it before.

Love Zeppelin! I have a hard time choosing a favorite album, but I have no problem choosing a favorite song. KASHMIR! Man, I love that riff! That's one of those "turn it up and don't turn it off" tunes for me when I hear it come on the radio!

I would have to go with "Houses of the Holy" as my favorite, but depending on the day, the albums are practically interchangeable. "The Rain Song" is probably my favorite Zep song. I can't tell you exactly what my emotions are like when I hear that song, but that song takes me to a place like few can. I'm sure everyone has that song which delivers like no other, and provides them a "Rock 'N Roll epiphany".

Here are my favorites in order:
1. Untitled (Zoso, Four Symbols, IV)
2. Physical Graffiti
3. Led Zeppelin II
4. Led Zeppelin S/T
5. Houses of the Holy
6. Led Zeppelin III
7. The Song Remains the Same
8. In Through the Out Door
9. Presence

Truly, their 4th album is their best because every track became an instant rock classic. Physical Graffiti is great because it it a very technical album. And Led Zeppelin II is great because it's just simply a fun listening experience.

I've got the Led Zeppelin DVD. It's really cool to see such a great band at the height of their careers play like nobody's business.

I've never been a big fan no matter how much I try.

I'm kinda in the same boat. The only albums I own are IV and the Remasters box (which I was able to pick up really cheap brand new) and I have zero interest in trying the rest. They have some great songs, no doubt about it, but I'm just kinda numb to them, possibly because the rock station where I last lived played them constantly.

No quarter is one of the greatest pieces of music ever written in MOHO

I really only like II and maybe IV the whole way through. Both are great albums. They have some really good songs on their other releases but there are some that just don't cut it with me.

I've been liking my Zeppelin/Mothership album i got at Wal-Mart the other day. Two
discs remastered with all the best songs on both. Not to mention a great price too.

I like Houses of the Holy. Anyone know what's up with Jimmy's chin?

its a nice collection actually pretty spot on with the song selection

Yeah, but it leaves off the best song they ever did!

Houses of The Holy is my favorite, but I can't think of a bad song or album.

Presence and In Through the Out Door had some fillers. Presence was rushed, and ITOD was mostly writtin by Jones because Plant lost his son, Page was on heroin, and Bonzo was drunk the whole time.

To their credit, those albums are still better than most of the stuff being released by today's artists.
