    Led Zeppelin I, II, III, Untitled, Houses, Physical, Presence

    That's the greatest 7 album run of any band. Ever.
    no in through?

    I like In Through..., but I don't think it stands up against the best of the Stones or Beatles, whereas those first seven are pretty flawless.

    3 of 7 songs are up there in the catalog  though imo.

    fool in the rain ranks pretty high for me. just a gorgeous solo
    In the Evening, Fool in the Rain and All My Love are superb, I'm Gonna Crawl just behind.

    The first music I ever heard / bought was  from the Beatles. The White Album is nothing short of Great.
    But Led Zeppelin has many more songs I don’t switch channels from when they come up on the radio. My true test

    Uh, hello? It's obviously Live and Let Die by Paul McCartney and Wings ;)

    Edit: I'd actually go with Goldfinger. Cornell's offering for Casino Royale is my modern day choice.

    Sorry fans, great as they are, unless somethings happens fast here it looks like..

    Variously credited to Mark Twain or Edward Abbey.

    That’s a good idea for a poll (or polls, as there are 25 songs). There’s a pretty solid Top 5 or 6, the rest would be straightforward picks.

    I'll take Zep's studio catalogue over The Beatles, but that's debatable.

    HOWEVER. Let's look at live performances. Led Zeppelin revolutionized concerts. Mick Jagger said something like "we used to play for 45 minutes then Zep happened and everything changed".

    Beatles? That oh so famous Shea Stadium show? Here's the setlist - 12 2-minute songs. And after 1966 they stopped touring altogether.

    These are really good points.  Zep live was out of this world.  Beatles were so original and unique. I think I said earlier that i feel like the are from two different universes.
