The easiest album to choose favourites from, for me it must be two songs since they kind of belongs to each other.

Everyone knows what i talking about. The Song Remains The Same och Rain Song. The later one has always through the years holds a top 5 zep songs of all time, only Tea for One that can match that.

I think the whole album is fantastic.....It's also the first one I bought the week it was released...and the first one to have the orange and green label as opposed to the first four that had the plum and purple label.

Over the Hills for me.  It has everything.  Folk acoustic, hard rock, great melody and vocals, lyrics, perfection.  For TSRTS and NQ, I prefer the live versions so much more.  I don't really like the processed vocals in the studio version of either track.  I see how it adds to the effect in NQ, but it does nothing but detract from TSRTS in my view.

The Ocean.

I couldn't remember if I posted in this thread or not, and it turns out I did. However, in the past 13 years, my opinion has changed. While I loved The Ocean (and still do), No Quarter has overtaken it, and by a large margin. Runner-up would be The Ocean, followed by The Rain Song.
