McSeven Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 So how do you group the era of Led Zeppelin by albums. For me its Led Zep 1 and 2. Then Zep 3/ZoSo/HOTH. Then PG/Presence and then ITTOD and I skip Coda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One could also divide them into Atlantc era albums and SwanSong era albums Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd also look at it this way. I-Physical Graffiti (so many different sounds, textures and vibes yet all very relative at the same time, also their most creative and energetic period). Then I'd piece Presence with ITTOD, which I consider their closing or their waning, I'd say this is because things become a bit more unfocused or less cohesive in terms of collective vision or effort. It doesn't mean they aren't good, they were just changing for various reasons that have been discussed. It seems that prior to this the band was all on the same page, I think that started to change (not dramatically) with presence, and then even more so in regards to ITTOD. It doesn't mean they didn't work well together, I think like I said some of them started to change in terms of vision and what they wanted their musical goals to be as artists due to various circumstances.

dandak Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 (edited) 1 to 4...the rise to the top PG and Presence....Zep at their peak HOTH and CODA...hard to place these. I love CODA and several HOTH cuts. But I consider them fillers (albiet fantastic ones) between the eras Purposely left off ITTOD....to me it was basically Plant/Jones getting 'artsy' and not Page/Plant/Jones/Bonham. I just dont like it. But, since it IS a Zep album lets just say if PG and Presence was the peak, and 1-4 the climb up, then ITTOD is their plunge from the top, with CODA as a finale showing us what they once were.
