DAVIDALLEN Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Hello Led Zep People, I wanted to start a section that had everyones opinion of the best Led Zeppelin photos ever. I think this one is, but the group shot at the plane is great. I wish I was there! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Deborah J Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Great shot^^ I love the photos from James Fortune, Robert M. Knight, Mark Bowman, Neal Preston, Bob Gruen...just to name a few. I agree with you as this is one of my favorite ones of them not on stage and all four together. I will post the link only:-). Great thread! http://www.bobgruen.com/files/ledzep/r052.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SteveAJones Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Well, I believe by definition the best photograph of Led Zeppelin would have to be one that depicts all four members, onstage or offstage. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SummerOfMySmiles Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 (edited) I agree, the famous Starship shot(s) would be like the quintessential magnitude of the band. BUT... Led Zeppelin's best picture has got to be playing music - what they best did. Led Zeppelin's grandiloquence comes through my bet for Best LZ Pic: (Photo Credit: Michael Putland) Edited June 3, 2014 by SummerOfMySmiles Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Really like the one you picked Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DAVIDALLEN Posted June 3, 2014 Author Share Posted June 3, 2014 Hello All, How about this put together group shot? Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SummerOfMySmiles Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 David, that's a collage right? Cool one, but I actually like the original picture better! Looks a bit odd: Jonesy, Page and Plant giving it all and Bonzo just overlooking haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ListenToThis Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Steve is right on this, any "greatest" photo must contain prominent and clear views of each individual member. The idea that a photo of just Page and Plant could be the best ever is ridiculous. While a good concept, this type of thread has been attempted before and always quickly dissolves into opinions and hyperbole. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
