Or Captain Beyond's second, a bit more jazzy and also really good.
It was worth comparing the contemporary accomplishments of both the former Yardbirds' singers.

yeah.. but against LZ the more jazzy, and IMO simply not as good, second album would be out of place. We are talking hammer of the Gods kind of sh*t man.
Few albums compare to the best of LZ in kicking ass...n the realms of prog like the first Captain Beyond.

I know. I'm reasonably familiar with what became of the Yardbirds. For various reasons (promotion, backing) Armageddon and Captain Beyond, Andromeda and a few others are really this kind of footnote, second tier type band but they should not be forgotten. Which is roughly the point of these polls.

oh I know what the point is. One might hope that one in doing a poll like this, knowing most everyone knows Zep and perhaps some to many not knowing the Armageddon album, that they might be inspired to check out the group in order to cast an informed vote.. or perhaps to find something they haven't heard before.
It, and albums like it, are the pots of gold you find at the end of the prog rainbow once you finally get tired of listening to the same old sh*t of the prog masters and you explore deeper into wealth of the genre that never attained the same level of notoriety of fandom acclaim.

III has some amazing songs, one of the best Zeppelin albums. Immigrant Song, Tangerine, Friends, Celebration Day, Since I've Been Loving You, etc. Although it declines a bit in the end is a really great album.
