Just listened Celebration Day. There are no songs from Outdoor, so I quess that tells what they´re thinking about it themselves. All My Love is a great song, I think they should have played that. To me Out door sounds as an album that´s made by dinosaur band, there are nothing left of that powersound of Zeppelin that still was in Presence. But of course everybody´s have right to like what they want. To me their greatest albums are IV and Houses Of Holy, really love also I-III.
Reason why I bought myself Out Door as vinyl, is that I found it with reasonable price in original covers (that original paper still in it).
you forgot about Physical Graffiti, ton a great stuff in there
Third side of Physical is as great as those earlier classic albums, but first album suffers to the lenght of songs (you know they were making only one album, but when they got too much songs to one album, they decided to make some songs longer which I think was mistake). Fourth side is also quite good.

A secret favorite album for a lot of old time fans. Other than the fact that it's a friggin great record, I think it's appreciated as a nice change of sound, so elegant and interested in the future of rock music.
ITTOD is probably the most under rated LZ album imo. Even Presence seems to get more respect. Of course I'm not counting the albums released after the band broke up(ie Coda). I personally like ITTOD because I think they really took chances on it and really pushed their boundaries and comfort zone. I don't think any other Zeppelin album does that as much as that one does. I'm not sure it's actually my personal favorite but it's special to me the same way "Tormato" is.
In ITTOD, specially the first side they were just so done. Second side has better songs, but still their playing is just a shadow of Presence. ITTOD is not underrated, it´s just is their worst album. Only one, who was in condition that time was John Paul Jones and you can hear it.

Any Zeppelin album > Any Rush album
(and I like Rush)
Diff'rent strokes. I can't even listen to the first three by LZ. If "Whole Lotta Love" was banned from the airwaves, the world would be a better place.
Zep Zep is hit and miss for me. I like Houses of the Holy, Physical Graffiti and the much maligned In Through the Out Door the most. Not generally being a hard rock guy, I actually tend to prefer Zep's softer songs, so even if it's schmaltzy I love "Thank You" off II, and I love "Tangerine" off III.
Anyway, I;m voting IV for "4 Sticks", love it:
Both of these albums have a lot of nostalgia value for me as they were two of my favourites when I was 15, 16, and I would give almost anything to be able to relive those days. The older I got the more I want to be a teen again (in fact I drift off to those days in my head far more than is healthy).

I've owned many Zepp albums over the years, I still hold onto Zepp III and Prescence, if only for their slow Blues comps. And compare Since I've Been Loving You to Moby Grape's 'Never'............ Tea For One is just PERFECT.
