Can anybody tell me why it is worth comparing these two in the first place? ------------- sad creature nailed upon the coloured door of time |

I initially read Armageddon S/T to mean the soundtrack to the Bruce Willis movie of the same name which featured a couple of Aerosmith songs. I've not actually heard the Armageddon s/t so can't vote, but I'd be surprised if my vote weren't for Zep III. -------------

Armageddon is a decent hard rock LP but we are talking about Zep 3 here.... ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone. Haquin |

I didn't vote because one more vote for LZ wouldn't matter now. Armageddon is a good album and I've had the vinyl version since it came out. The first three Zep albums have always been my favorites and of those, III is the best.

I haven't listened to Armageddon yet there's also a band called Armaggedon, they're British if my memory serves me and they released an album in 1970. Confusing (LOL) |

I never really liked Led Zeppelin, but I always did love Steamhammer and Armageddon. So, my choice is rather obvious. |

strange poll.. but this forum lives for them yeah man.. Armageddon is a good album... and that is about it.Now put Captain Beyond's debut, another seminal heavy prog album with that something special in it, against LZIII and it might get more interesting... ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

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. ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

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. ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

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. ------------- I shook my head and smiled a whisper knowing all about the place |
