I have a ton of faves- here's mine by album:

I Babe I'm Gonna Leave You

II Thank You

III That's the Way

IV Battle of Evermore & Going to California

Houses of the Holy: The Rain Song

Physical Graffiti: Ten Years Gone & Kashmir

Presence: Nobody's Fault But Mine

Fool In the Rain is their last good song.

 

Fool In the Rain is on their last album, so that would make sense.  Unless we're counting the Coda odds and sods release.

As much as I love Led Zeppelin and the untitled fourth album, Led Zeppelin II really was the superior studio album IMO.  But this debate has been hotly contested for decades.  (Edit: I misread.  Apparently we agree on the studio merits of Ramble On and Livin’ Lovin’ Maid.)

But what has not been hotly contested for decades is that neither is the greatest studio album of all time, an honor that goes to Who’s Next by The Who, and this fact has been proven time and time again by science…

As you may know, Who's Next was originally intended to be another of Pete's big concept albums called Lifehouse, but Pete eventually gave up on the concept.  I'm a slightly bigger fan of Quadrophenia, but Who's Next is definitely one of the best rock albums made.

Physical Graffiti doesnt get the credit it deserves.

Machine Head -- now there's an all-time rocker overplayed so much in the day (at parties, not radio) that all songs are still memorable half a century later...

... except maybe "Pictures of Home" -- play it! Only 7 songs on the album!

The Who was my favorite band from my late teens until maybe my mid 40's. I still love 'em.

BTW, the "moon" from my username comes from Kieth.

Quadrophenia is stunning. 

Who's Next is the most popular and worthy of a ton of praise.

Live at Leeds is one of the best live rock albums of all time.

One of the best bassist tracks ever is on Eminence Front. Pete's guitar gets most of the raves, and that's understandable, but to me, Moon's rumbling, often off-beat style carried the band. I used to say he played "lead drums." The Who was really 3 musicians all thinking they were on lead. Poor Daltrey had no chance, but he did his best to steal the show.

In Through The Out Door was the title of that last album, which did have Fool in the Rain.

It also has a fun and very non-Zeppelin-esque song called Hot Dog.

That album did show it was time to end it all.

Two of my favorite LZ songs, Dazed and Confused and Kashmir,

Kasmir is one of my favorite.  Boogie with Stu gets almost no air time, and is a great tune.

Btw, I love Dylan.

Greatest lyricist of all-time, and it is not particularly close.  Modern Times is one of the great albums ever, and was written while he was probably collecting SS.

Leonard Cohen was also a great lyricist and created excellent melodies.

Instead of 10 make it 12. I can't leave out Beachboys' Pet Sounds and Hendrix's Are You Experienced.

I saw them at the Meadowlands in maybe 1988.  It was Aerosmith, Deep Purple, and Guns & Roses.  Funny part is I went with my little brother, and Aerosmith was the headliner, but neither of us had an interest in them.  I was there for Deep Purple, and my brother thought they were flawless.  And he was there for GNR, who I was impressed with.

I think we left in the middle of Aerosmith's second song, and were absolutely the only people walking through the parking lot.  And I like Aerosmith, but Deep Purple and GNR were so great, and you can only absorb so much music at once.

I had never heard of him until the very underrated Pump Up the Volume came out.  I still have Everybody Knows burned into my memory cells.  After I checked him out, I stumbled onto Hallelujah, sung by Jennifer Nettles.  I don't recommend anyone blowing out their ears drums, but I like to listen to her version at a pretty decibel.

Speaking of Jennifers, Famous Blue Raincoat by Jennifer Warnes is an excellent album of her covering Cohen songs. Many consider it the best cover album ever.

No, it was an anniversary date with my wife.  It was a tripleheader - Jefferson Starship, Kansas and Deep Purple.  Turned out to be a great night of music.  These old geezers can still play.  Purple's keyboard player, Don Airey, was especially amazing.

Great stuff, you just have been a hippie LOL.  I love the Kinks as well.  Ray Davies is a phenomenal lyric writer.
