My conclusion is Led Zeppelin Presence my #1

Not sure why this album is not ever considered like one of the best albums they did!Its amazing to me.i love every song and they all jam so well.
Is it anyone elses favorite?

 

Favorite LZ or favorite overall lp?

 

I love it and find the fact that it was apparently hated when it came out quite remarkable.
Led Zep IV is probably my favourite, but Physical Graffiti or Presence come in second

 

It clearly lacks the variety and scope of their best work. It lacks warmth too and has something of a forced style about it.

It does however have a certain charm of it's own and it is different from just about anything they did. I think it adds to their overall output in a reasonably positive way but ultimately fails by quite a distance when you try to put it in the context you have.

 

After hearing these albums so much in my lifetime, I can;t say I have a favorite. Presence is very good though, it'd be easier to just say "In Through The Out Door" is my least favorite.

 

It is my fifth favorite LZ album! Not counting live ones...

 

Definitely not although preferable to ITTOD. But Achilles is a majestic opener for sure.

 

Not sure I can definitively pick a favorite Zep lp, but I consider Presence an equal part of their canon and not a ‘lesser’ recording. The drumming is fantastic.

 

My least favorite of their eight studio albums.

To each his own, though.

 

In its day, I found it lacking.
Today, I appreciate it much more.
But not my favorite.

 

It's definitely great! Not my personal favorite by the band, but it certainly stands on its own.

I've been enjoying the super deluxe recently. Lots of great stuff in the box!

 

My least favorite Zep too. Outside of Achilles Last Stand and Nobody's Fault But Mine, most of the songs just aren't that memorable, IMO. I will say that it's Zep's best sounding record though.

 

By Zeppelin surpassed only by PG. But, Achilles is my favorite LZ number.

 

Zep II is my favorite, always has been, but I do love me some Presence.

 

Achilles Last Stand is great.....stacks up to their best work.

The rest seems to suffer from the fact that they were rushed and Plant's heart, by his own admission, was not in it.

To me, it's their first inferior album.

 

Echoed with the exception of "Tea For One" (I love that little 9 and a half minute ditty).

 

This.

 

Sadly, it's my least favourite, too. As someone said up above, it doesn't have the variety of their others. Feels a bit colourless. I still listen to it, of course.

 

Cool album cover. Great song in Nobody's Fault But Mine. The rest eh.

 

Presence is my favourite Led Zep album.

Bonzo is just so groovy and heavy on this one and Page's solos sound like he's tearing every note from the depths of his soul.
If he hadn't sold it already, that is.

 

I like it. It has grown in me over the years. But, overall, I think it needed more of a contribution from John Paul Jones...a few keyboards, stringed instruments, arrangments, etc.
I know that was a conscious decision, but it lacks the depth of all previous albums.
Could use more harmonies from Plant as well. I think the only ones are a bit at the end of Candy Store Rock. That being said, I still enjoy it immensely.

 

I think it's great and underrated, much better than most give it credit for. I love this album, and while not my favorite, it's probably in my Zep top 5.

Found a US Swan Song original LP used last year, and it has a nice sound, lots of impact.

I think it's half a great album that starts to run out of steam by the last track. Not surprising, considering the amount of work the band had been doing by then, Plant's car accident, and Page's habits. Considering all that, it's amazing how well it came out.

"Achilles", "Nobody's Fault", "For Your Life" and "Candy Store Rock" (which has a furious and addictive groove) are all great cuts, which I like as much as anything else in the band's album high points. I can go back to this one again and again, where I'd rather not hear some of the earlier albums for the 1,000th time.

(and I've long thought that the band The Mars Volta almost styled much of their sound and approach on "Achilles Last Stand").

 

I think it suffers from being a bit monochromatic. The colors just aren't there.

 

The best part. Although, that song you mentioned and "Candy Store Rock" are quite fun.

 

It is in my top 3 for sure. Along with "In Through The Out Door" and either "I" or "III" holding the other spot.
