Heres a hard one.....Best Led Zeppelin Album and why?

PG and IV. Both great albums...it goes downhill from there for me, though I like all but Coda.
 
My problem with Zeppelin is that my favorite songs are spread out over several albums. Babe I'm Gonna Leave You (1st album), No Quarter (Houses Of The Holy), The Rover (Physical Graffiti), Achilles Last Stand (Presence), Immigrant Song (3rd album); so choosing a favorite album is difficult for me. But one does stand out more than the others and that's Physical Graffiti
.
I saw Plant/Page perform in 1994 and that concert reinforced the fact that Kashmir is one kick arse song. Throw in Trampled Under Foot and perhaps the best Led Zeppelin song ever recorded in The Rover and you've got a very good album there.
 
Houses of the Holy is a pretty incredible album, don't get me wrong. I like II though since it still retains most of their original sound, if you ask me.
 
Another vote for Physical Graffiti

PG is miy favorite. Others have mentioned great tracks like Kashmir, Down by the Seaside and Rover but I really enjoy In My Time of Dying and In The Light as well.

I noticed no one has voted for III or In Through the Out Door. They might get some votes if we are talking about coolest album jackets.

IV is best. Every song is good, and Stairway To Heaven is transcendent. I think this album would get more votes if Stairway hadn't been so popular with the rabble. That fact almost takes it "out of category" for sophisticates like us.
I do, of course, love every Zeppelin album. I especially like Fool in the Rain, Kasmir, The Ocean and every other song with that patented John Bonham drum pattern.
