Though undeniably classic, in retrospect Zoso is probably the band's least interesting work; it is simplistic, a kneejerk overreaction to Zep III's disappointing sales, overplayed by every rock radio station and teenager in the world, and material far better live than in studio. Whereas MP is almost forty years later still fresh and exciting. Moving Pictures. ------------- "Too often we enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought." -- John F. Kennedy |

Led Zepp IV has some great songs (especially When The Levee Breaks), but Moving Pictures is on the next level up. ------------- A TVR is not a car. It's a way of life. |

Moving Pictures, easily. Led Zeppelin IV is a bit overrated, IMHO. ------------- https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_ipg=50&_sop=1&_rdc=1&_ssn=musicosm" rel="nofollow - eBay |

Basically yea.....I prolly went half dozen years without spinning IV, for good reason. Moving Pitchers though has been spun easily once a month since release, for good reason. -------------

IV is pretty commercial. Only really strong track is 4 sticks. Moving pictures wins ------------- All I like is prog related bands beginning late 60's/early 70's. Their music from 1968 - 83 has the composition and sound which will never be beaten. Perfect blend of jazz, classical, folk and rock. |

| Led Zeppelin IV isn't my favorite album of Zepp ( Led Zeppelin II) , nor Moving Pictures is my best RUSH album ( A Farewell To Kings) but... Rush wins ! |

This one is like apples and oranges for me - these albums are not trying to do the same thing, so there is little basis for comparison. Led Zeppelin IV is a pastoral, spiritual hippie-rock album, and Moving Pictures is aiming at a kind of futuristic science-fiction kind of atmosphere. Both albums have amazing compositions and playing, but I cannot see them competing for anything. ------------- sad creature nailed upon the coloured door of time |

Moving Pictures. Led Zep IV is fine, but not even Zeps best album. Far from it. I prefer II, III, Houses of the Holy and Presence. ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

This. MP is #2 of Rush's twin peaks in chronological order, LZIV is pretty good, but not on par with LZIII or HotH. -------------

I mean you gotta consider the ten-year time frame that bridges them, and the environment both were released into. One revolutionized one decade, the other another. As for which holds up better in modern day? I'd say Moving Pictures. IV has some extremely cringeworthy cheese like 'The Battle of Evermore', but I'd say in conscience that Moving Pictures has for the most part no faults. ------------- http://fryingpanmedia.com |

My vote goes for Zep hands down. I always thought MP was really overrated and just not that great of an album, especially when compared to the likes of 2112 and Hemispheres. ------------- The most dangerous man in America. |

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. ------------- https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_ipg=50&_sop=1&_rdc=1&_ssn=musicosm" rel="nofollow - eBay |

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. |

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). ------------- Just a fanboy passin' through. |

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. ------------- "Too often we enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought." -- John F.

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.

^ Worst album? Not by a long shot. I reckon overall it's far superior to Houses in consistency & production, outdoes Coda for material, and for my taste makes Zep IV sound like a college party. ------------- "Too often we enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought." -- John F.

I don't think Zeppelin have a 'worst' album really, all excellent in my book incl. Out Door (an highly entertaining and amusing listen). I believe that IV is their strongest effort however. ------------- |

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).
