Aye, fair enough. I've always thought the three songs that opened PG were about as good as it gets.

 

Looks like it's going out anyway, as expected.

Oh yeah, it kicks into stride with In My Time of Dying for sure. 

Tracks 3-13 are great though. If it was those ten tracks it would be up there with the first four albums in terms of songs.

In My Time of Dying is my favourite Zeppelin song and I'll be sad to see it go out.

Hunky Dory and Revolver for me

 

Can never been able to listen to Physical Graffiti all the way through.
 

It’s just the same tempo way too many times.
 

Custard Pie and The Rover are awful openers. Proper bland, middle of the road Zeppelin to kick off an album.

 

For example, the open riffs to Sick Again sounds like it’s about to come blasting out the gates, then, hello, there’s that similar tempo again soon.  

 

For me, it has some absolute classics but reduce that down from 15 tracks to 8 or 9 or even ten and it’s right up there.

 

Plus I can’t stand how it’s mixed. The worst sounding zeppelin album with less thump and too much compression. 

 

Would love to buzz of it as lots of people seem to but too much fillers, for me. 

Truck down. 

Yeah it's very heavy on the drumming.

Tempted to vote for all four here. Went for Revolver and Hunky Dory as I have listened to them most, but really wanted to vote for Physical Graffiti which is a cracking album and Blondie was the sound of growing up for me.

As soon as I saw the draw I thought it was a toss up between this one and one more as the toughest group. 

 

In-fact next tournament can be best group from the best album tournament fuck it.

Parallel Lines is my desert island disc.

[ZonkoVille77]

Revolver and Hunky Dory. 

PG is just brilliant but I listen to the 2 above more often.

You are such a tease!

Another Bowie album that I don’t get. Were teeny bobbers still following him it at this point too? Total meh.

 

Perfect soundtrack for a walk home from the boozer steamin’

This rarely gets a mention but on some days it might be Zeppelin's best song...

I feel the same about Hunky Dory. Bowie is obviously fantastic and it’s a good album but not one I default to if I’m in the mood for some of his tunes. I know many rate it as his finest, but I’m not one of them.
