Random Zeppelin Poll

Which album do you prefer from Led Zeppelin?

Houses Of The Holy

or

Physical Graffiti

???

I voted Who is Led Zeppelin? Because although I know a lot of songs, I've never listened to either album straight through. I just don't get Led Zep, so with that I'll leave this thread and let you guys talk.

I love Led Zeppelin and both albums are stellar, but I went with "Physical Graffiti' because it is my favorite Led Zeppelin album.

Houses Of The Holy for me. It just has the better songs on it , I think.

Houses of the Holy wins by default for me.

I owned that one for years on tape and played the hell out of it before upgrading to cd a few years ago. I don't think I ever owned Physical Graffitti on tape. I might have dubbed it from someone's old vinyl. While I was familiar with most of the tunes anyway, it wasn't until 2 or 3 years ago that I finally got it on cd.

Like 'em both, but have always loved Houses of the Holy.

I chose "Physical Graffitti" cuase the record cover was interactive.

Also it was kinda/sorta a retrospective of the band at that time without it being a greatest hits/best of album.

I always liked the live outdoor setting of that recording with the airplane noise and Robert's (?) comments to keep the tape rolling. Not sure why, but I always found that cool.

I vote Houses of Holy but my all time favourite Zepp song is Kashmir which happens to be in Physical Graffiti.

Wish there was a "love both equally" button. I flipped a coin and chose Houses Of The Holy.

Obviously it's Houses.

Obviously.

Dang it! I accidentally voted "Who is Zeppelin?" when I meant "Physical Graffiti".

This was hard. "Houses of the Holy" has some of the best hooks and riffs in my opinion. "Physical Graffiti" comes close in that department as well. But "Physical Graffiti" has "In My Time of Dying", which is my all time favorite Zep tune. A monster of a tune for me.

hmmm tough one.

I consider Houses Of The Holy, Physical Graffiti and Presence to be equally incredible albums.

#4 a.k.a ZOSO. yeah, yeah, not a voting option in this poll.

My favorite Zeppelin song of all time is Rock n' Roll followed by their cover of Nobody's Fault But Mine.

Flipped a coin and went with Houses because of The Song Remains The Same, The Rain Song and No Quarter.

ZOSO would be mine too, just to go along with the unwashed masses.

Houses Of The Holy

Physical Graffiti by far. HOTH is one of my least favorite Zep albums.

Physical Graffiti by a mile. Probably my favourite Led Zep album.

kinda/sorta trip that there are 5 that voted "who is Led Zeppelin" and only two copped as to why they did it.


Even if you havn't listened to any Zepplein or like them for that matter, I think it's B/S that you've never heard of them.

Like them both so I just selected first option.

Love 'em both, but I chose Houses because I like more of the songs. I'm with MoonChild, though. "Kashmir" is my favorite Zep tune.
