It showed them to have more depth than just a metal/blues band.

...from "Custard Pie" to "Sick Again", the whole thing just fucking rocks.

The Rain Song and Over The Hills and Far away are their best works. Add in D'yer Maker and The Ocean. It was their transition album from Folk Rock to Rock and it had some of their most inspired work.

Houses of the Holy is my favourite Zep album too.

Over The Hills and Far Away

and this one:

This album is always close by me, (cough choke) FORTY EIGHT years later. I rest my case!!

a/k/a "Zoso". But II and III are wonderful, too. By the time Physical Graffiti came out, I was not into their music anymore.

Lately I've found myself playing Presence a lot.

Hated it when it came out (during High School) but today it is one of the few LZ records I still listen to.

Physical Graffiti is a close second tho

No question.

The first time I saw them, they opened with "Immigrant Song"... what a great song to open with!

I'll never forget first hearing no. 4 and it still gets me to this day
