| Difficult question, I know. But for some reason, I've always favoured Presence to the others. I know people rave about IV and Physical Graffiti as probably musically the best albums, but I can't help but feel this is way up there, if not their best imo. Just the circumstances surrounding recording (Plant's injury, etc.) and they came out with a 7 track guitar album more than anything....no bullshitting around with acoustic and stuff like that, just some great lengthy guitar classics. Given, Tea for One is very similar to (and just as good as) Since I've Been, but they are some absolute killers on this album that sometimes to largely unoticed. Achillies Last Stand is beyond brilliant, and it really doesn't take a step down at all. Your personal favourites? |

| Led Zeppelin III is my 2nd favorite of all time. I love the Folk Rock tracks of this album, Tangerine (probably my no.1 Zep song), That's The Way, Bron-Y-Aur Stomp, Friends, and Gallows Pole. Zeppelin's Blues side is also shown in a couple of tracks on this album, Hats Off to (Roy) Harper and Since I've Been Loving You. And the great hard rock sounds of Immigrant Song and Celebration Day. Really it shows what Led Zeppelin are all about the Folk, the Hard Rock and the Blues. Such a diverse band but they cover all three genres so well. |

| Houses? I would have to rate that as far and away my least favourite. Don't really know why, I mean it's in no way bad, but none of the songs except No Quarter and The Ocean really grab me. |

| As for Houses of the Holy, I reckon it has a lot more quality tracks than just The Ocean and No Quarter, what about Dancing Days, D'yer Mak'er and The Rain Song, all 3 are awesome tracks. |

| That's Why it's my favourite Hendo. Not just to mention Something Different but i love the Song Remains The Same. I could never Understand how Dancing Days Missed out on the Remasters in the early 90's. |

| As For The Tool Cover I always struggle the First time i listen to a cover of A band I like And have heard At least 1000 times. Different When a Band I like does a cover of something else though "Live & Let Die" For Example but The Tool Cover Is Very Good with their own Distinct Style To it. Listening to it right Now Very Good Listening. |

| Their first album is by far my favourite, also the first album of theirs I bought. Favourite tracks- Babe, I'm gonna leave you (favourite Led Zep track of all); Good Times Bad Times, Dazed and Confused (these last two definitely up their as well). |
