Same idea as The Eagles thread, Zeppelin released the 2 greatest hits albums, Early Days and Latter Days. I don't own either of these, for me it's gotta be the studio albums,plus one live, the way they were released :)

-When The Levee Breaks
-Stairway To Heaven


I can't believe they left 'Fool In The Rain' off of Latter Days

Zep has always been one of those groups that I could never get 'in depth' to (file alongside 'Floyd' and 'ELP')...

...so, sacreligious as it may be to some, the two-volume 'Best Of' was something of a godsend - even tho' I do have the first two LPs...

I can't really pick one from t'other, so it'll have to be both...

I voted for Latter Days because of "Kashmir" and "All Of My Love".  :)

early days, definitly. the last years of zep, they lost their blues edge.

I completely agree...the studio albums cover it all ;)

Early days.

I like both eras, though I love the earlier stuff more.

Having seen Zep in 1969, 1972 and 1973, I have to say the early stuff.  We went to see them the first time because we liked Jimmy from the Yardbirds - saw them at Kleinhan's Music Hall in Buffalo - if you have the Zep dvd, it was right about the time of the Royal Albert Hall performance, and the  show was about the same - one of my favorite concert memories from high school.

very cool :) I was going to go see them in Montreal in 1980 but as we know they didn't make that tour, that's as close as I came.

I like them equally

Immigrant Song

Kashmir

etc etc  :D

Both equal

I'm honestly a little hesitant to post this, but just so ya know, nothing personal. :) "We Built this City" is a longtime favorite of mine, and it's considered one of the cheesiest songs of all time - I don't really mind, LOL.

Boy, I've got the feeling I'm gonna be really unpopular here, but -- despite being a lifelong rock fan, of everything from the 50's to now, and a big appreciator of both classic and hard rock -- I honestly never much cared for Zeppelin.

I don't deny the guys' talent, but to me their style simply lacks both the fun/carefree sound of 80's rock as well as the more melodic/experimental sound of the 60's (i.e. the Beatles later work). Much of their material sounds the same. I guess, in short, I don't really feel "compelled" to listen when one of their songs come on the radio.

THAT SAID, on the rare occasion, I do like "Stairway to Heaven", "All of my Love" and "Black Dog", so, if that's 3 songs and 2 of them are on Early, default that would be my choice.

PS: I'll freely admit myself that, if I were on a stage, and everyone else here was the audience, I'd assume there'd be alot of beer cans and various garbage thrown my way in protest by now!  ;D

that's cool Marty, if we all liked the same thing the world would be a pretty boring place :) now stand still, I've got a beer can coming your way ;)

Im a huge Zeppelin fan !!!!

with the songs given as a guide in the intro to the topic..........i cannot decide.

My 2 favourite pieces of music are of course stairway to heaven and Kashmir, which is for its time, intensely and insanely brilliant.
Jimmy page is a true genius.

going on that, i like both, so i voted for equality.

same here holicman, I personally think that Physical G. is the greatest album of all time, closely followed by 'wish you were here' & 'a farewell to kings', but hey      theres no accounting for taste ;)

Just going on track lists, itd have to be both. Love Kashmir, Song Remians The Same, No Quarter, and Houses Of The Holy. I also LOVE Immigrant Song, Battle Of Evermore, Communication Breakdown and Whole Lotta Love.

My favorite Led Zeppelin album is 3. So I guess you can tell I have a leaning towards their more accoustic stuff. I LOVE Immigrant Song and Bron-Y-Aur Stomp (hence my nic).


Really, if Page is playin guitar, Plant is singin, Jones is on base, and Bonham is playin drums on any given song, then its bound to be good. And even the songs where Bonham isnt on drums, the other 3 compensate for his absence very well.


Bron-Y-Aur Stomp

both equal
