All are great albums. 1. Physical Graffiti 2. Quadrophenia 3. The Wall ------------- The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty" |

All three are significantly flawed albums in my book. Never liked the Wall. Graffiti is Zep's best album by far but that's like saying measles is better than leprosy so it's Quadrophenia for me. -------------

Quadrophenia, no contest The Wall is quite good too, but it requires a bigger immersion into the music. As for Graffiti, it's just a collection of leftovers and scraping the bottom of drawers, and nothing good, outside of Kashmir and In The Light. I don't even understand what PG is doing in this list, as it's not even a concept album: it would've been much better to have placed The Lamb or the awful TFTO instead. |

Three brilliant albums. I'll go for Quadrophenia. ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

| Graffiti, the only Zeppelin album that I own. Bought it for In The Light. Kashmir is probably the most annoying rock song ever to be etched into vinyl. Makes my ears hurt. |

1- Quad 2- PG 3- The Wall ------------- Two random guys agreed to shake hands. Just Because. They felt like it, you know. It was an agreement of sorts...a random agreement. |

Poor old Graffiti. It's an album experience not just a collection of songs. Things like Boogie With Stu add to the character of the album. They vary the pace and give this Masterwork the colour and depth it deserves. Coda went from a good album to, now, a fascinating view with the expanded version. Bit much stretching it out over 3 CDs as each one is still the same length as the original album. Just for the um, record Quadrophenia and The Wall are also masterpieces. Wouldn't be without any of them. |

I'm with you, man. Kashmir is almost unbearable. I hate it when bands grab a three minute piece and stretch it like bubblegum.

Quadrophenia, followed pretty closely by Physical Graffiti and way, way back there, if you look with a telescope, is The Wall. ------------- PROGMATIC |

Quadrophenia... ------------- He neither drank, smoked, nor rode a bicycle. Living frugally, saving his money, he died early, surrounded by greedy relatives. It was a great lesson to me -- John Barrymore |

| Three great albums. Quadrophenia takes my vote, but by a very narrow margin. |

Physical Graffiti. The only Led Zep album I listen to on a regular basis. ------------- A GREAT YEAR FOR PROG!!! |

| I dig all three despite some songs I don't care for...I'll go with The Wall by a nose. Granted, the whole "poor pitiful me even though I'm a rich rockstar" story can be grating, but songs like "Goodbye Blue Sky" and "Hey You" are just too good. |

Quadrophenia is generally awful. The Wall has one great song (Comfortably Numb) and the rest ranges from mediocre to bilge. Physical Graffiti has some filler but some really spectacular stuff. I think Kashmir is brilliant, btw.

Zeppelin, followed by the Who. Half of The Wall is brilliant, the other half? Not so much. ------------- ...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology... |

Never could get into The Who. Heard most of their output, only Entwistle impressed me sometimes. I'm over Zepp. They're alright, overrated in my books. Every album, like most of Queen's output (for example) has something to offer. The Wall is something truly revelatory and nostalgic for me. I clicked with it at the tender age of 13 !! I know it's not full-blown Prog as we know it, but I still enjoy spinning it once in a while. That's my vote. |

I love Kashmir as well. The length doesn't worry me. Still award this poll to The Who.

| While Quadrophenia, and Tommy before it, early on defined the idea of a rock opera, I think The Wall mastered it. A really unique and important musical and lyrical statement. |

| I really also love the Wall, but Quadrophenia is the last Who album where are their great energy. Both are really pessimistic albums, but specially in the Quadrophenia-album there are some hope (the movie ends bad way). And about Physical I think it should have been one album as they were originally making it. |
