i’ll take the original crisp recording, no remasters, no changes to the old school stereo mix with the clearly separate channels please.

I prefer their more expansive, weirder stuff. Not necessarily Presence, but some of the tunes on Led Zeppelin III, definitely Houses of the Holy and Physical Graffiti (“In the Light” is a vastly superior stoner anthem to “Stairway”).
Anyway... Their first album was one of the first records I ever purchased with my own money, but I don’t really “feel” it. I prefer the BBC sessions versions of the blues tracks.
Whatshisname... some rock guy... ah...Cameron Crowe! Yes! He once said he preferred them to the Beatles and that they were a logical extension of the Beatles’ four-personalities archetype. I couldn’t disagree more. They’re a one-personality kind of band. But still thumped when it counted
