"Rock and Roll" is my favorite track from this one.

I LIKE this album a lot...but, I won't say "love." Physical Graffiti, Houses of the Holy, Led Zeppelin II, Led Zeppelin I, and Led Zeppelin III are all much more adored, by me, than this one. Heck, I'll even throw CODA up there on my list of favorite Zep albums before this one makes an appearance.

It's not even the "overplayed" factor, for me. I just have never had the same affection for this album as I've had for all of those other Led Zeppelin offerings I just mentioned.

The last 2 1/2 minutes of Stairway is the most powerful moment in music I've ever heard. But really this entire album is about perfect to me start to finish. No weak moment as far as I'm concerned. #2 on my list.

Led Zeppelin I has always been my favorite. This has always come second or third.

I've always thought this was by far the best Led Zeppelin album and one of the best albums of all time. And while I still stand behind that, I think I enjoy the album less each time I listen to it. I think that the guitar solos and riffs (not here but in general) don't have the same importance to me as they use to have, so I don't really enjoy some of the music that is based mostly on them the way I used to (and classic rock falls into that category). So while I still recognise these songs as being at least "very good", it just doesn't feels the same

However there are still three songs that I still find absolutely perfect:
- Stairway to Heaven - great structure, and the guitar solo actually is fantastic (not just for being technically complex either)
- Going to California - really fine acoustic song, brings what they did on LZ III to another level
- When the Levee Breaks - OK now this is just an exceptional riff and an album closer.

The best justification for the theft of blues by the white man ever made.

I've always considered this to be just a "very good" album. Nothing more, nothing less. While "Stairway to Heaven" is certainly a masterpiece, "Dazed and Confused" trumps it in every way, as does the Led Zeppelin debut in general by a long shot.
