Presence by a mile. It has weak songs, but it has a couple killer tunes that rank among Zeps best. ITTOD is a total sellout.

Still... that puts you in the minority.

So I am like, the only one who thinks Nobody's Fault But Mine sucks but Tea for One is the best track on Presence after Achilles? Good to know.

I agree that they are the two weakest Zeppelin albums, but I still think they're both very good, even more so if you're able to disregard their previous work.

But I think Presence especially doesn't get enough credit. Achilles Last Stand is a top 10 Zeppelin song I think, and there are a couple other immensely underrated Page riffs here (Royal Orleans, Hots On For Nowhere). And obviously Nobody's Fault But Mine is a classic as well. It was actually in my top 100 for a while. So yeah I prefer Presence.

Both are good albums. They aren't Led Zeoppelin IV, but why would you want them to be? The band was changing and evolving, but they were still very good.

Presence has "Nobody's Fault But Mine", which I think stands up against any of their earlier work. And In Through The Out Door has "I'm Gonna Crawl", which may be the best Robert Plant performance in the entire catalog.

They are good albums but weak compared to other Zepp stuff.

They both kind of suck overall, but In through the Out Door's got some great songs. As for Presence, Achilles' Last Stand is great, but there's really nothing else it's got going for it. So I've gotta go with IttOD.

I love it, Hot Dog is nice too, but on Presence I like the opener and the closer also so I can't decide.

Against my better judgement, Fool In the Rain is one of my favorite Zep songs, also I love South Bound Saurez and All My Love, so I'm inclined to go with ITTOD

Some good moments on both, but I'm tempted to say they both suck overall.

I didn't want to do it, but I can't stop my hand from typing it. Sorry, Jason!

Anyway, I've heard plenty from both albums (Not the whole thing, missing two or three from each). IMO, ITTOD is better. What do you think? I thought the two ex-Coda Zep albums pitted against each other would be interesting.
