These are the only Zep albums I listen to anymore from start to finish.

Like Spenno said, they have a lot of killer songs, but a lot of filler as well. But I'll take anything from either of those albums pretty much any day of the week.

And When The Levee Breaks. God love me, that song a monster.

If there's so much filler I'd like to know which songs they are. I've been mistakenly rocking out to them all this time in error.

I know, I don't get the filler thing.

Filler is probably the wrong word. I don't think everything they wrote was a masterpiece. There's are plenty of songs that I continually skip; songs that I get bored with easily.

The extended version is better, and the context of the song makes it a lot better to me.

Having said that, the oft-overlooked "I'm Gonna Crawl" is infinitely better.

Yeah, All of My Love would be much better if it just dragged on longer.

Let's just agree to disagree, Buddy!

My favourite records are easily III and IV, those are both pretty strong throughout.

There's pretty much only two songs I really love on all of Physical Graffiti: Custard Pie and Trampled Underfoot. The rest, eh, I could take or leave.

But I would hardly call Ten Years Gone, Kashmir, In My Time of Dying (among others) as "Filler." If you said "Bron-Yr-Aur and Boogie With Stu sure feel like filler" i maybe could have bought it.

"Filler" = songs that don't pump my nads. I'm not calling them worthless throwaways, they're just not particularly for me.

I'm enjoying Skitch's increased OB participation, even if it's limited to this thread.

Man, I could talk about Led Zeppelin all day (although outside of the Celebration Day DVD, I cant remember the last time I actually put on Led Zeppelin.) But it's all been discussed to death, and frankly, there aren't a whole lot of new opinions on it.

And I stopped caring much about music at some point. I think it was when my favorite bands of my early 20's (311, Our Lady Peace, Pearl Jam) started to suck... and I realized I had 2 options- 1. Actively seek out new music and try and get involved, 2. Enjoy what I enjoy, and if something catches my ear, I'll give it a listen... Which is the route I chose. I have a soft spot for unabashed pop music. Ke$ha for example. You guys all like a lot more (and in most cases, better) music than I do, so I don't add much to OB.

I once got a black eye in a mosh pit at a 311 concert.

Squint extra hard and you might spot me.

I never liked 311, though.

Oh, I hear that. I've seen Korn.

(Granted, it was at a festival.)
