led zeppelin have THE best covers of any band i know.

for me, it's a tie between IV ( mysterious ), PG ( how many hours did i sit on my bedroom floor looking at all the little pics ? ), III ( far out and groovy, baby ), and ITTOD ( what a great marketing idea! )

i love this band ..... :)

That is not Plants kids on the cover of the Holy LP.

I always liked zeppelin four's cover best. Kept it simple

and great insert with Stairways lyrics. It was a great

response from Page with no title on the original cover per critics

knocking the name and the 3rd LPs cover. Page had said

we can sell are music with no need to have a title on the LP

The first album cover set the right tone, iconic - hard to beat. (My vinyl P.G. cover is my favorite though). Interestingly didn't JP say they hated the Zep III cover (the graphics, not the wheel), that it was too flower-girly or something like that, but they didn't see the final version until too late...(?)

Anyway, half seriously, here is my favorite (from the Empiress Valley Snowblind Vancouver release). Sorry Jimmy:

What is that?

You mean the Snowlind covers? From the Empress Valley bootleg of the Vancouver March '75 shows. Whatever one's moral feelings about bootleggers, they do come up with some awesome covers sometimes :)
