Album Wars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stairway's a good old number alright, but it's one of those songs that i've just heard to many times and burnt out on. But the first time i ever listened to the song on cd it nearly sent tears to my eyes it was that good. Hope this doesn't spark a big 'Stairway To Heaven' debate...

Agreed. If there's got to be any debate about Stairway here then it should be something like whether the song Disposable Heroes is better

And Janszoon's vote should make it:

Mop - 5
IV - 7

same here. Take it to the Bridge!!! hehehe

and i also always really liked Misty Mountain Hop, then again i also really like Get on the Snake by Soundgarden (they're basically identical riffs).

as for LZ IV - i can't stand The Battle of Evermore, Going to California, and Stairway to Heaven. especially the first two, everything else is ace but damn near half the album makes me cringe.

edit: it's not a matter of whether or not Disposable Heroes is a better song than Stairway to Heaven but by how much it is.

Stairway is overplayed but still a great song. Going to California is actually one of my favorite Zep songs and I like Battle of Evermore too in all it's Tolkien nerdiness, granted Fairport Convention and Comus did that kinda thing better.

HOTH and IV are the two Zep albums I like from beginning to end.

IV > MoP

Zep's monster seller has a bit too much of the Fantasy going on, although "Black Dog" and "Four Sticks" seriously are solid Zeppelin. I was never really that much of a fan of Metallica, and while MoP did spark a better kind of Metal scene in The States after a too much Aqua Net was going around in The 80's, it still sounds a a bit too-forced and heavy handed.

Maybe it's me and those "Troubled Albums" that actually have some unique moments > just solid kicking out the jams, but ITTOD is not all that much of a mess to me, although "All My Love" is clearly a skip track and a half and "Hot Dog" is filler that's not even as amusing as "Boogie With Stu." Still, I may change my opinion as the Last-Year Yardbirds happenings used on the first album were the best ones and they sounded strong along with the solid jamming beyond those.

EDIT: There was a change in opinion...after some thinking. It makes my observation stronger.

Its actually a tribute song for Robert Plant`s son, its written with great feeling (obviously) and therefore a shame to just simply skip it.
