Easily Queen II!

Without even knowing it at the time, Queen II probably turned out to be the first `proper' prog album I ever heard. `Orge Battle', `March Of The Black Queen', floored me! I'd never heard anything like it!! :)

So that album is very special to me still (even though I don't listen to Queen a lot these days).

Queen II. Probably the most underrated album of all time. Pink Floyd's Animals is a close second.

I don't listen to goddamn radio so I don't got that sort of 'overplayed' bias. To me, Led Zeppelin has never been overplayed. Why? Because I've never given 'em a chance to be over-heard. (not overhead, mind you). 

So coming at it without that bias, I put them both on the same level. I hate parts of both and really enjoy parts of both. I really enjoy Queen's singing and diversity. I really enjoy Led Zeppelin's heavy guitar aspect. I really hate it any time Led Zeppelin 'branched out' or 'went prog'. I really hate when Queen 'went opera' and their entire guitar tone pisses me off on poorer days.

So I put 'em both on the same level and put Night at the Opera on the same level as IV. Queen II? I put that on the same level as Led Zeppelin I (one step lower than Night and IV). So tharrr.

LZ IV Is really great, but REALLY overrated. I listen to March of The Black Queen way more than Stairway to yadda yadda. Maybe my opinion would be different if i didn't hear the entire LZ4 on the radio every single day.So Q2 for me.
Nothing to say here. Nothing at all. Nothing is easy.

Can anyone see no why i'm telling over and over again the fact that IV is overrated????????????????

I'm a huge Queen fan and have all their early albums, and while Queen II is a great album, I still can't take it over Led Zep IV which is at a level fit for the gods of rock that even Queen could not reach with a stairway to heaven.

Any album that includes Black Dog, Misty Mountain Hop and When the Levee Breaks is the winner.
It's funny how the colors of the real world only seem really real when you viddy them on the screen.
