Led Zeppelin IV or Moving Pictures?

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.

Led Zep

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).

not even close - the mighty Led Zeppelin
