leafsfan1728 I agree. I love that track! I used to put it right before Bye-Ya by Thelonious Monk on my tape believe it or not. The two songs have a similar groove. As you can tell I love all types of music. 😁
Agreed. He dogged on a few of my favorite songs and I was like.. what.. but his favorite was Immigrant Song, the most played song by them (besides Stairway). They have some amazing songs that arent overplayed imo
@@jrnew1378 Not just one lyric. Have you heard the original? It's the same song.. just slowed way down and mostly the same lyrics. It's cool what they did with it but it's Howlin' Wolf. th-cam.com/video/EGIE28q3fEA/w-d-xo.html
Led Zeppelin III is absolute perfection, except for the last track. I can't listen to that one. If they had only replaced it with Hey Hey What Can I do, it would have been a 10/10
Agreed...had they ended the album with Since I've Been Loving You and put Hey Hey What Can I Do as the number 4 track...it would elevate the album even further. It would maybe be their best!
Then I will die with you. The Beatles were my #1 band for years..and years...then I heard Physical...that was it...after I slowly traversed through their catalogue, Zep became my #1 band. Beatles are still at #2 by the way.
Gavin Brewer Me Fn too man! It’s just such a jam n so what it’s a lil different to what you’re used to hearing from Zep! Also he let me down saying no good to ‘the lemon song’ which is also such a jam!
Goofy is one word to describe it. I tried for the third time to listen to it and it just sounds worse each time. I love Zeppelin but they can do wrong and "The Crunge," unfortunately, is a great example. That and "Hot Dog," corny as hell!
@@kimberlywalker3970 I disagree about "Hot Dog" as I think it's an interesting and fun experiment - but there is ONLY one Zep song (and ZEP is MY #1 favorite band) that I cannot stand...and that is "The Crunge"....sorry....just my opinion.
I like your list, but here's mine: #1: Physical Graffiti #2: Led Zeppelin IV #3: Led Zeppelin II #4: Led Zeppelin #5: Houses of the Holy #6: Led Zeppelin III #7: In Through the Out Door #8: Presence
I've always assumed that they had a dearth of material for those sessions and so they stretched "Carouselambra" to over ten minutes to fill space. It's not a great song, but it would have been improved by being cut to about five minutes.
@@bfish89ryuhayabusa John Paul Jones had just got his GX1 keyboard which cost $60,000. That was a lot of money in 1979 so I guess he wanted to get his money's worth. Its mixed too loud and doesn't really suit the song. The middle section when the guitar comes in is the best part of the song IMO.
I had the great good fortune a few years back to play "Immigrant Song" for a 17-year-old coworker who had never heard it! Brought in my good headphones and laptop (i.e., non-compressed mp3 device version) and watched her eyes turn to glass about three seconds in. Reminded me of that great little moment in 'Dances With Wolves' when Wind-In-His-Hair tastes cane sugar for the first time.
My favorite is Physical Graffiti because of quality and quantity. This album was made when the band was at the apex of creativity and song writing maturity. This album is a display of deft songwriting in the genres of blues, hard rock, soft rock, progressive rock and even country! And it was two albums in one. The ideal "if I was stranded on a desert island with only one Zeppelin album" album.
Plant's James Brown impression isn't great. I've learned to love it, but it's usually the Zeppelin song people like least. My surprise is reading these comments and learning people don't like "Hats Off to (Roy) Harper". That song is the perfect end to the album.
All right! My turn now: 8. In Through The Out Door 7. Presence 6. Houses Of The Holy 5. Led Zeppelin III 4. Led Zeppelin I 3. Led Zeppelin II 2. Led Zeppelin IV 1. Physical Graffiti Cheers, folks!
My list: 9. Coda 8. Houses of the Holy 7. Presence 6. In Through the Out Door 5. Physical Graffiti 4. III 3. The debut 2. IV 1. II (it's not only my favorite Zeppelin album but my favorite album of all time)
My favorite is Houses of the Holy even though I owned IV since I was 14. It's just more varied wo being bloated like PG. HofH might have sealed the deal with my wife. She was so impressed when I made her listen to it, like this is the real deal about Zep.
Jesus. I can't believe I'm seeing so many people rank PG out of the top 3. It's so epic. It's one of the great 70's rock head trips. It's like Zeppelin at their most refined. One of the biggest rock bands doing one of the biggest albums of the era. And 1 is like them at their most distilled. Honestly I can't even pick between 1 and PG. They're both so amazing in such different ways.
Definitely. Have to agree with Pitchfork’s review on this one: “It's also, to my ears, their best album, even if it's not as unified or complete as some of what had come before. Why their best? First of all, there's more of it. The previous two albums were awesome, but each had just eight songs; Physical Graffiti has 15. It's math-when you are talking about songs from this period of the band, that makes it roughly twice as good.”
Stephen Rubke It’s my personal favorite, if I had to pick one. After hearing PG I ran out and bought all of their remaining albums that I didn’t already possess. I don’t think that I’m alone in that regard either. As I recall, the album sales of all their other albums went up substantially after PG came out.
To each his own. To me the Blues tracks are the absolute cream of the Zep catalog... i, II, Houses,Physical, III, IV, Presence, Out Door. (i and II could switch on any given day.)
The sound of those two albums make them my favorites. The songs themselves aren’t necessarily the best, but man, the warmth of the recordings are amazing. Plant at his best, too.
I love Zeppelin 3. My first goal when I started guitar was to learn the record beginning to end, which took about 2 and a half years. Love this record, I had to buy another because I listened to my vinyl so much it wore down lol. My favorite song is definitely bron-y-air stomp
Great list! I love III as well. Such an underrated album IMHO. I can't stand "Hats Off To Roy Harper" but the rest is pure gold. My list: 1. Houses Of The Holy 2. LZ 3. LZ 3 4. LZ 4 5. Physical Graffiti 6. LZ 2 7. Presence 8. In Through The Out Door
Here’s the thing with Zeppelin III; it’s an anomaly. It’s their acoustic/ folk album. It can’t be #1. It’s FANTASTIC obviously but just not the defining moment of the band IMO.
I really love all recordings by LED ZEPPELIN, even ´´Coda´´, the outtakes album, my rankinng is: 1. IV 2. III 3. Houses Of The Holy 4. Physical Graffitti 5. II 6. Led Zeppelin 7. Presence 8. In Through The Out Door 9. Coda. Greetings from Canary Islands (Spain).
@@Stefan-lz7vj all of their core 7 albums are perfection. So hard to choose favorite songs but if I had to choose then probably Om or Best Way to Travel (or House of 4 Foors, or Visions of Paradise 😆)
Led Zeppelin II is by far their greatest. Whole Lotta Love is the greatest guitar riff of all time. Every track is absolutely killer (including The Lemon Song, I don't care what you say!) Bring It On Home is one of the most underrated closing tracks.
For me, it's hard to rank, I love almost them all. My older brother is a huge Zeppelin's fan, it was hard to not listening to these albums. 😁 It's interesting to see your tastes. I love your channel, I follow you since your great review on Bowie's "Blackstar". Greetings from Paris, France. 😉
1: Physical Graffiti 2: Led Zeppelin IV 3: Led Zeppelin II 4: Led Zeppelin I 5: In Through the Out Door 6: Houses of the Holy 7: Led Zeppelin III 8: Presence
As a Zep fan since 1971, here's my ranking: 1. Physical Graffiti 2. "4" 3. zep 3 4. zep 2 5.led zeppelin 6. houses of the holy 7. presence 8. in through the out door
Lz III forever!!! I'm new to this channel and watch a ton of ranking videos and in my short time here, you seem to be one of the best at properly explaining your rankings.
Gotta disagree with you, Carouselambra is epic tune, love it, especially that disco breakdown at the end, we got totally different taste; HOH is their best, the crunge is an homage to James Brown; and I know this will draw some ire, but In My Time of Dying, to me, overblown and falls flat, No Quarter is my favorite all time Zeppelin tune, it’s all there; power, mystery, and the hammer of the gods...
Feel the same way about IV, really refreshing to see LZIII get the props it deserves -- I think they really branched out on this one, and it kinda went over their audience's heads, and as a result they made a super straightforward but also less adventurous IV. Addendum: having now watching this entire video, I gotta add that maybe you could've discussed the eastern strings on Friends, the pastoral vibe of Side B, how exposure to Laurel Canyon singer-songwriters influenced this direction etc. That aside, great channel!
I enjoyed your observations on the Led Zeppelin albums. My take is on a similar track with some differences. Here are my comments: LZ II - This is my favorite and I think it is one of the all-time great rock LP’s. Whole Lotta Love blew me away when that song came out. I bought the single at the time and surprisingly, it was the album version of the song. Unusual for a single which were almost always the radio version. I love The Lemon Song. It is a great hard rock twist on the blues. The call and response of Plant’s voice and Page’s guitar is a highlight. My favorite White Stripes song is Ball and a Biscuit, which to me is kind of their take on The Lemon Song. For me, the throw away song on that album is Moby Dick. I find most drum solos boring. Drum solos were a staple of 70’s concerts and that is usually when I would take a bathroom break. LZ III - I love this album. Along with LZ II, it is still the one I play the most. Many fans did not like it or get it when it came out. I thought it was a fine departure from their early stuff and showed a different side to what they could do. I equate it to Pearl Jam’s album No Code. Big disappointment for a lot of PJ fans, but for me, it was their LZ III. Wondering if you liked Since I’ve Been Loving You on LZ III since you don’t care much for blues numbers on the first two albums? LZ (I) - Good album. I love the blues songs and the first three songs on side two, which are sort of a suite, are awesome. I can live without Babe I’m Gonna Leave You. Too repetitive. Untitled (IV or Zoso as we called it back in the day) - This was considered by most, myself included, to be a very fine album when it came out. But to your point, the over exposure of this album just killed it for me. I haven’t listened to it in decades. I can still enjoy an individual song from the album that might pop up on a stream or radio as long as it is not Stairway. Houses of The Holy - As you mentioned, decent album with some fine songs. I was always entranced by The Rain Song. I will occasionally go back to listen to this one. Physical Graffiti and beyond - Even though the only time I saw LZ live was on this tour, my interest in the band had begun to wane with this release and I have rarely listened to this album or any of the others that followed after.
I have loved Led Zeppelin for years. My list 1. Physical Graffiti 2. House Of The Holy 3. Led Zeppelin IV 4. Led Zeppelin III 5. Led Zeppelin II 6.Led Zeppelin I 7. In Through The Out Door 8. Presence
Great list Eric, My List 1) Led Zeppelin 4 2) Physical Graffiti 3) Led Zeppelin 2 4) Led Zeppelin 5) Houses of the Holy 6) Led Zeppelin 3 7) Presence 8) In Through the Out Door
My ranking for Led Zeppelin's albums are: 1. IV 2. Physical Graffiti 3. II/Houses of the Holy 4. III 5. I 6. Presence 7. In Through the Out Door 8. Coda
1 - Houses Of The Holy 2 - Physical Graffiti 3 - Led Zeppelin IV 4 - Presence 5 - Led Zeppelin III 6 - Led Zeppelin 7 - Led Zeppelin II 8 - In Through The Out Door
A little late of a request, how about a review of the Grateful Dead's final studio album Built to Last from Halloween 1989? My List: 1. IV 2. I 3. II 4. Physical Graffiti 5. Houses of the Holy 6. III 7. Presence 8. In Through the Out Door
With this many comments, I'm sure you've heard it all. Your take made me laugh, because it's no where near what I thought. I'm glad you're a Zeppelin fan and the guts to make and publish this video. Thanks from Colorado.
III is my favorite for sure but I'd put Physical Graffiti at #2 because of the variety and amount of good material. It would be my desert island zep record.
Ahh, this is so hard and it always changes! But here it goes: 1- Led Zeppelin III 2- Physical Graffiti 3- Houses of the Holy 4- Led Zeppelin IV 5- Led Zeppelin I 6- Led Zeppelin II 7- Presence 8- In Through the Outdoor
Here's what I think: 1. Physical Graffiti 2. Houses of the Holy 3. untitled 5. Led Zeppelin 6. Led Zeppelin II 7. Led Zeppelin III 8. Presence 9. In Through the Out Door
9: Coda 8: Led Zeppelin II 7: Presence 6: In Through the Out Door 5: Led Zeppelin I 4: Led Zeppelin IV 3: Led Zeppelin III 2: Physical Graffiti 1: Houses of the Holy
Coda is bunch of scrapped up stuff through out the years. Not an album that would have been released if Bonham was still alive at the time of its release.
I collected pop bottles ( a time when they brought a dime each) to save up for LZ 3- It was the first Zep I owned and my fav to this day. Thanks for the well thought out breakdown!
@@overlookers Same for once Tame Impala has alot of songs about being alone so he realises that people will be on feb 14th so he thinks I'll give them a new album to make them happy such excited
1. Led Zeppelin ll 2. Physical Graffiti 3. Houses of The Holy 4. Led Zeppelin 5. Led Zeppelin lV 6. Led Zeppelin lll 7. Presence 8. Coda 9. In through the Out Door
Saying “I believe (Physical Graffiti) is their only double studio album” and “I’ve never heard anything (from Presence) on the radio” compromises the integrity of this list. Also suggesting that “You Shook me,” “I Can’t Quit You Baby,” and “the Lemon Song” detract from the greatness of the first 2 albums tells me you don’t get it. These songs are essential to their greatness. I love the first 2 albums, but to rank them higher than Physical Graffiti, Houses of the Holy and 4, is to suggest they went thru a steady decline as they branched out by exploring different styles. That, again, shows a lack of intimacy with the band. Though I do agree 3 is one of their finest moments, overall a list made by a novice, in my most humble opinion.
Well said, I totally agree with your observation. The process he is using to determine Worst to Best seems a little Flawed. I think he needs to listen to some of the albums a few more times. I would actually be surprised if he has even listened to all of their material.
1. CODA 2. In Through The Out Door 3. Led Zeppelin I 4. Presence 5. Dyer Mak- I mean Houses Of The Holy 6. Led Zeppelin 3 7. Led Zeppelin 2 8. Physical Graffiti 9. Led Zeppelin 4 (obviously the worst one)
Thank god someone else ranks 3 as their favorite album My list is 1:LED ZEP 3 2:LED ZEP 1 3:LED ZEP 4 4:LED ZEP 2 5: Presence 6: Physical graffiti 7:Houses of the holy 8: In through the out door
1. Led Zep II. 2. Led Zep IV. 3. Houses of the Holy. 4. Led Zep I. 5. Led Zep III. 6. Physical Graffiti. 7. Presence. 8. Coda. 9. In Through the Out Door.
So hard to rank Zeppelin, all the records are really good for different reasons, but I do agree that III has a lot of magic in it. Really difficult task.

Achilles last stand makes up for the album, no doubt
Tea For One and Nobody's Fault But Mine are very good as well.
Presence should be a bit higher definitely
I really dig Hots on For Nowhere! Bonham kills it on that track!
leafsfan1728 I agree. I love that track! I used to put it right before Bye-Ya by Thelonious Monk on my tape believe it or not. The two songs have a similar groove. As you can tell I love all types of music. 😁
Les Whittekiend Moncada tea for one is great too
The reason to own Presence starts and stop at the amazing track: Achilles Last Stand. EPIC!
and Nobody’s Fault But Mine. Both songs are out of this world.
Love your channel bro

Tea For One is highly underrated
Agreed.
No mention of Achilles Last Stand?! For me, it’s what makes the album

It’s always weird when someone loves the same bands as you, but pretty much has an entirely different outlook on what makes that band great.

Agreed. He dogged on a few of my favorite songs and I was like.. what.. but his favorite was Immigrant Song, the most played song by them (besides Stairway). They have some amazing songs that arent overplayed imo
Eric I love you, but how could you not like the Lemon Song :(
But the Lemon song is a cover of Howlin' Wolf's song, "Killing Floor". Maybe that's why.. it's not a Zeppelin song.

It's a pretty awesome old-timey blues track, though. It's great!
They should’ve replaced Friends. I always skip that song
Physical Graffiti is #1, my dudes. I will die on this hill.

Carouselambra is really underrated in my opinion
I feel like the words are kinda washed out and you can’t really understand them most of the time but it’s so catchy and fun

The mix is bad, which is too bad, because they were preparing it to be their next concert epic.

The lemon song was one of my favorites from led Zeppelin II! Surprised that's what held it back for you

JD Wheeler I agree.

The Lemon Song is a beast! The Bass line alone is world class.
Totally. And it belongs on II as much as any other song.
Literally my fav track
Dont understand why he doesnt like lemon song.

There is no bad Zeppelin album!

8. In Through The Out Door
Yep, that's my take also. The last song is kinda sucky, but man the songs before it are SO good
Here’s the thing with Zeppelin III; it’s an anomaly. It’s their acoustic/ folk album. It can’t be #1. It’s FANTASTIC obviously but just not the defining moment of the band IMO.
yes hats of to harper is definitely my least favourite zep song 😩

I love In search of the lost chord, amazing album which is your favorite song from there, I'm wondering between om and Legend of a mind?
@@Stefan-lz7vj all of their core 7 albums are perfection. So hard to choose favorite songs but if I had to choose then probably Om or Best Way to Travel (or House of 4 Foors, or Visions of Paradise 😆)
Led Zeppelin II is by far their greatest. Whole Lotta Love is the greatest guitar riff of all time. Every track is absolutely killer (including The Lemon Song, I don't care what you say!) Bring It On Home is one of the most underrated closing tracks.
bring on home is such an incredible ending i agree
whole lotta love singlehandedly makes this album
I don’t think there should be a debate on this, II is by far their best
@@willpowell3483 for sure
Led Zeppelin ll is their best record by far.
For me, it's hard to rank, I love almost them all. My older brother is a huge Zeppelin's fan, it was hard to not listening to these albums. 😁 It's interesting to see your tastes. I love your channel, I follow you since your great review on Bowie's "Blackstar". Greetings from Paris, France. 😉
houses of the holy is criminally underrated

I'm new to this channel and watch a ton of ranking videos and in my short time here, you seem to be one of the best at properly explaining your rankings.
Houses was always my favourite and still is
1: LZ IV
2: LZ I
3: LZ II
4: Houses Of The Holy
5: Physical Graffiti
6: LZ III
7: In Through The Out Door
8: Presence
9: Coda
Ned D. Coda doesn’t really count
Trout mask replica!
Gotta disagree with you, Carouselambra is epic tune, love it, especially that disco breakdown at the end, we got totally different taste; HOH is their best, the crunge is an homage to James Brown; and I know this will draw some ire, but In My Time of Dying, to me, overblown and falls flat, No Quarter is my favorite all time Zeppelin tune, it’s all there; power, mystery, and the hammer of the gods...
Feel the same way about IV, really refreshing to see LZIII get the props it deserves -- I think they really branched out on this one, and it kinda went over their audience's heads, and as a result they made a super straightforward but also less adventurous IV. Addendum: having now watching this entire video, I gotta add that maybe you could've discussed the eastern strings on Friends, the pastoral vibe of Side B, how exposure to Laurel Canyon singer-songwriters influenced this direction etc. That aside, great channel!
I enjoyed your observations on the Led Zeppelin albums. My take is on a similar track with some differences. Here are my comments:
LZ II - This is my favorite and I think it is one of the all-time great rock LP’s. Whole Lotta Love blew me away when that song came out. I bought the single at the time and surprisingly, it was the album version of the song. Unusual for a single which were almost always the radio version. I love The Lemon Song. It is a great hard rock twist on the blues. The call and response of Plant’s voice and Page’s guitar is a highlight. My favorite White Stripes song is Ball and a Biscuit, which to me is kind of their take on The Lemon Song. For me, the throw away song on that album is Moby Dick. I find most drum solos boring. Drum solos were a staple of 70’s concerts and that is usually when I would take a bathroom break.
LZ III - I love this album. Along with LZ II, it is still the one I play the most. Many fans did not like it or get it when it came out. I thought it was a fine departure from their early stuff and showed a different side to what they could do. I equate it to Pearl Jam’s album No Code. Big disappointment for a lot of PJ fans, but for me, it was their LZ III. Wondering if you liked Since I’ve Been Loving You on LZ III since you don’t care much for blues numbers on the first two albums?
LZ (I) - Good album. I love the blues songs and the first three songs on side two, which are sort of a suite, are awesome. I can live without Babe I’m Gonna Leave You. Too repetitive.
Untitled (IV or Zoso as we called it back in the day) - This was considered by most, myself included, to be a very fine album when it came out. But to your point, the over exposure of this album just killed it for me. I haven’t listened to it in decades. I can still enjoy an individual song from the album that might pop up on a stream or radio as long as it is not Stairway.
Houses of The Holy - As you mentioned, decent album with some fine songs. I was always entranced by The Rain Song. I will occasionally go back to listen to this one.
Physical Graffiti and beyond - Even though the only time I saw LZ live was on this tour, my interest in the band had begun to wane with this release and I have rarely listened to this album or any of the others that followed after.

With this many comments, I'm sure you've heard it all. Your take made me laugh, because it's no where near what I thought. I'm glad you're a Zeppelin fan and the guts to make and publish this video. Thanks from Colorado.
I absolutely love this list, your such a very underrated channel man!
Presence is my favorite Zeppelin album
Bruh people who don't like LZIII aren't real Zep fans
Facts
Gatekeeping
III is my favorite for sure but I'd put Physical Graffiti at #2 because of the variety and amount of good material. It would be my desert island zep record.
You just put me in the mood to listen to some Zep!
My wife and I aren't interested in buying your encyclopedias.
Awesome comment
6:30 - stopped watching. Already sore from slagging off Presence (NFBM is my fav Zeptune). -U10
great top man, my favourite zeppelin song is since i've been loving you, it`s just so fucking awesome
Live Immigrant Song ftw. Blows the studio version out of the water. Wish they recorded the solo in the studio.

Led Zeppelin is one of the worst bands to rank because they were so consistent
Bro, Coda is an album!
Coda is bunch of scrapped up stuff through out the years. Not an album that would have been released if Bonham was still alive at the time of its release.
I collected pop bottles ( a time when they brought a dime each) to save up for LZ 3- It was the first Zep I owned and my fav to this day. Thanks for the well thought out breakdown!
I was never crazy about Zep 4 and I love the two albums either side of it
Can you please review Tame Impala new album when it comes out?
You is epic!
I'm actually looking forward to Valentine's next year
@@overlookers Same for once
Tame Impala has alot of songs about being alone
so he realises that people will be on feb 14th
so he thinks
I'll give them a new album to make them happy
such excited
Some_Russian_Kid Hes married though lmao
@@TameTones bruh moment
50 seconds in and he's already trash talked Hot Dog, this clown clearly has no taste
well, hot dog is their worst song by far. But the fact he had Physical Graffiti so low is crazy. It's easily their best album
1. Led Zeppelin ll
2. Physical Graffiti
3. Houses of The Holy
4. Led Zeppelin
5. Led Zeppelin lV
6. Led Zeppelin lll
7. Presence
8. Coda
9. In through the Out Door
The Lemon Song is the most brilliant blues jam. That's what keeps LZ II at the top for me.
Led Zeppelin IV
Houses of the Holy
Physical Graffiti
Led Zeppelin
Led Zeppelin III
Led Zeppelin II
In through the out door
Presence
Fight me
Saying “I believe (Physical Graffiti) is their only double studio album” and “I’ve never heard anything (from Presence) on the radio” compromises the integrity of this list. Also suggesting that “You Shook me,” “I Can’t Quit You Baby,” and “the Lemon Song” detract from the greatness of the first 2 albums tells me you don’t get it. These songs are essential to their greatness. I love the first 2 albums, but to rank them higher than Physical Graffiti, Houses of the Holy and 4, is to suggest they went thru a steady decline as they branched out by exploring different styles. That, again, shows a lack of intimacy with the band. Though I do agree 3 is one of their finest moments, overall a list made by a novice, in my most humble opinion.
Well said, I totally agree with your observation. The process he is using to determine Worst to Best seems a little Flawed. I think he needs to listen to some of the albums a few more times. I would actually be surprised if he has even listened to all of their material.
Yeah , I love lll ! Usually it's very underrated .
Definitely 3
All of my favorite songs: “yeah this song holds this album back in my list” rip
1. CODA
2. In Through The Out Door
3. Led Zeppelin I
4. Presence
5. Dyer Mak- I mean Houses Of The Holy
6. Led Zeppelin 3

What led zeppelin 4 is great
Thank god someone else ranks 3 as their favorite album

2:LED ZEP 1
3:LED ZEP 4
4:LED ZEP 2
5: Presence

If In Through The Out Door is the worst album your band has made you've definitely done something right. Enjoyed your list!
Please do this for Pink Floyd as well
good list...i love zep III...i would have had houses at number one and physical graffiti last...
and where's coda?.....
1. Led Zep II. 2. Led Zep IV. 3. Houses of the Holy. 4. Led Zep I. 5. Led Zep III. 6. Physical Graffiti. 7. Presence. 8. Coda. 9. In Through the Out Door.

6. Houses of the Holy
5. LZ4

So hard to rank Zeppelin, all the records are really good for different reasons, but I do agree that III has a lot of magic in it. Really difficult task.
