IV was without doubt the best album..."the battle of evermore" "when the levee breaks" "going to California" "misty mountain hop" geez!!! and these were surrounded by their hits...lol

Physical Graffiti is my personal favorite. The 4th one is a close second. PG beats it because it's a double LP.

Zeppelin I (see a pattern?)

Got all their albums. Like them all, the first 4 more so than the later ones. The 4th album "Zoso" was my favorite.

All of them up to Presence.
After John Bonham passed they may as well have retired.

That said, I would say that Jimmy Page, John Bonham and John Paul Jones would have had a successful band with almost any singer....Bonham and Page are 2 of the most influential musicians of all time for any genres. (all due respect to Robert Plant...all those decades of singing and performing takes a ton of energy )

In order of favorite albums, I'd probably go The Song Remains the Same (live), Physical Graffiti, IV, Houses of the Holy and Presence.

I had a buddy who played the drum part to this song perfectly. The kick drum pattern is very tricky. If you listen to Heart's Barracuda which came out a year later their drummer stole the exact same drum pattern. Both songs are cool, but if you listen close you can hear it.
