    There are decent tunes on In Through the Out Door, but I just don't care for the keyboard centric nature of the album. Jimmy's guitar is basically a complimentary instrument as opposed to the driving force. I wouldn't say I hate this album, but it ranks toward the bottom of the Led albums for me.

    Wearing and Tearing was recorded during that period and showed that they still had guitar-based fight left in them, so I wish there could have been more songs like that on the album, including that song!

      This wasn't awful.



      Sweet tap dancing baby Jesus, I just admitted to liking two Bon Fucking Jovi tracks.

            I actually like parts of St. Anger. I have to be in the mood for it, but it's not the write-off people dismiss it as.....

                I always loved Presence. Haven't listened to it in years...hmmm...haven't done acid in years either. The two went together well.

                  Surprised Black Sabbath Born Again was not on there.


                  Edit...personally I really like it...but it took years to appreciate it.

                    I think it's a fantastic album. A lot of Sabbath fans do.

                      In Through The Back Door was a major disappointment. Presence was Zep's hardest album. Their second best IMO. Physical Graffiti #1.
                      If you've never heard the other albums how can you say ITTOD is their second best?

                        In Through The Screen Door sucked completely in so many ways. Page and Bonham were somewhere between Venus and Pluto with their (respective) heroin and drinking, thus uninvolved. As a result, Plant and Jones turned them into a horrible version of the Moody Blues.

                        Funny that Page (years later) would complain about the album as being "soft" when he had little to contribute in the first place.

                        Presence still is the tightest ever effort, even above Physical Graffiti, which was made up from a few new tracks yet mostly rejected cuts from years past.

                        Yet taken together, they will blow your earphones off.

                          Physical came out when I was 15, Presence 16. I've had multiple copies of both on every format I've dappled in. Album, 8 track, casette, cd. I can remember jamming to In My Time Of Dying cruising down the freeway in this beat to shit 67 Chevy at high volume with the front end shaking like it was jamming along when I was 15. I can remember hauling ass away from a gas station jamming to Houses Of The Holy at high volume with a free tank of gas. I can remember the church calling my parents house asking me to turn down my stereo until services were over jamming to Nobody's Fault but Mine. The church was at least a 1/4 mile away but there was nothing in between but alfalfa. I can remember my buddy flicking me shit because he could hear me jamming Kashmir on my car stereo a block away from his house on the way over one day im my mid 30s. Songs from those albums would be a major part of the soundtrack to my youth.

                            Presence is a killer album. Out Door not so much. A few good tunes. This extra stuff on Coda should be interesting.

                              When I said that i know about the other albums, i was referring to this list, not the Zeppelin catalog.

                              As far as the Zeppelin catalog is concerned, i have overdosed on it. i cannot listen to it anymore.

                              Houses of the Holy is their best album followed by In through the out door and Presence is last.

                              Something about it make me not want to hear it anymore.


                              BTW, Half of Sabbath's Born again is excellent. Love Ian Gilllan.

                                Wow. To each his own, I guess. Personally, I love Presence, although sometimes admittedly more for the performances than the material itself depending on the song.

                                I'd partially agree with your take on Born Again, and for myself amend it to including the entire album. I dig the Born Again effort. Always have.
