If I was to set up ILM all over again, knowing what I do now, one of the things I'd do would be to have a one-act-one-thread policy: a single 'classic or dud' thread for every band, regardless of fame or length of service, with new users encouraged to join in the everlasting conversation.

Page should sit in with Metallica in a new band called "The Establishment".

"The legitimate part is where fans trade music, but once you start packaging it up and you do not know what you are getting, you are breaking the rules legally and morally.
"There are some of these recordings where it is just a whirring and you cannot hear the music.
"If you have something like this that appears legitimate then it is just not right."
this seems like a perfectly legit position to me
― Shakey Mo Collier, Thursday, 26 July 2007 18:33 (seventeen years ago) link
hey man, if someone wants to uncover one, I'd gladly buy a recording of Gonzaga '68 which didn't sound like whirring!

Why did II do so badly?
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 6 April 2009 20:17 (fifteen years ago) link
I would have expected II to get a whole lotta love but evidently it got trampled under foot.
― Euler, Monday, 6 April 2009 20:18 (fifteen years ago) link
16 people need trampled on ;)
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 6 April 2009 20:22 (fifteen years ago) link
man this is some bullshit, PG ain't even top 4 for me
― Shawty Lo Collier (some dude), Monday, 6 April 2009 20:23 (fifteen years ago) link
yup
― mark cl, Monday, 6 April 2009 20:23 (fifteen years ago) link
I think these days I would lean toward Physical Graffiti but I is my usual favorite, and it too got the shaft.
― Euler, Monday, 6 April 2009 20:25 (fifteen years ago) link
is this another UK vs US canon example like on the Sabbath thread?
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 6 April 2009 20:26 (fifteen years ago) link
The last time I was at Strictly Discs I found a used copy of the remastered In Through the Out Door and bought it. My least favorite clerk was like "Really? Out of all their albums?" I said "IT IS AWESOME." Just like that. He meekly replied "most people go for one of the others" and I raised myself to my full eight feet, unfurled my black leathery wings, and intoned ""I AM NOT MOST PEOPLE""
he got the hint i think

I kinda feel like CODA is my favorite.
― Fox Force Five Punchline (sexyDancer), Monday, 6 April 2009 20:28 (fifteen years ago) link
CODA is underappreciated
― now is the time to winterize your manscape (will), Monday, 6 April 2009 20:31 (fifteen years ago) link
i only got the complete works box set fairly recently so my opinion isn't fully formed but my rough pecking order is like:
Houses > IV > I > II > Presence > PF > Out Door > III
haven't really thought of where Coda would place, though. PF's got good stuff but the hitting percentage is way lower and i kinda feel like their songs are so epic in general that a double is just overkill.
― Shawty Lo Collier (some dude), Monday, 6 April 2009 20:36 (fifteen years ago) link
Presence > PG > Houses > IV > III > Out Door > I > II
some days I would switch III and IV
― WmC, Monday, 6 April 2009 20:40 (fifteen years ago) link
i think when i was 14-15 i played IV & Houses so many times it's hard to hear them now. and yeah, I turn the station when stariway comes on. but tbf i think i always did. wnet through a phase when i was partial to III, but I'm pretty sure I went with PG in this poll.
― now is the time to winterize your manscape (will), Monday, 6 April 2009 20:44 (fifteen years ago) link
the only ones i got bored with were I and III
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 6 April 2009 21:10 (fifteen years ago) link
III kills IV, I and II.
― Bill Magill, Monday, 6 April 2009 21:10 (fifteen years ago) link
hmmm
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 6 April 2009 21:25 (fifteen years ago) link
III is tops for me, followed by houses then IV.
― ian, Monday, 6 April 2009 21:27 (fifteen years ago) link
One of my early favourites I still listen to today....I used to vouch for I but now I'd go for Physical Graffiti or Houses.
― davek_00, Monday, 6 April 2009 22:03 (fifteen years ago) link
it's Houses > IV > III etc for me. still have a hard time figuring out The Crunge.
― sonderangerbot, Monday, 6 April 2009 22:06 (fifteen years ago) link
I bought PG recently, first ever LZ purchase.
Hmm, yeah. OK..
Don't think I'll go further to be honest.
― Mark G, Monday, 6 April 2009 22:27 (fifteen years ago) link
you are missing out
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 6 April 2009 22:46 (fifteen years ago) link
I'm all about III...I tend to like IV and Houses the most when they get closest to III's sound...
― jagged-electronically mäandernden underbody (Drugs A. Money), Monday, 6 April 2009 22:55 (fifteen years ago) link
III is also one of the reasons I voted for 70 on the 70-71-72 poll...
I also really like the first album...it seems the most Amon Dull II-acid-rock-ish of them all, thx to Dazed and Confused and How Many More Times...
― jagged-electronically mäandernden underbody (Drugs A. Money), Monday, 6 April 2009 22:57 (fifteen years ago) link
(though PG disc 2 could have it all over the first irt acid rock...been a long time since I gave it a spin)
― jagged-electronically mäandernden underbody (Drugs A. Money), Monday, 6 April 2009 22:59 (fifteen years ago) link
I must admit I tend to listen to disc 1 more
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 6 April 2009 23:40 (fifteen years ago) link
I liked "In my time", "Trampled", "Kasgmr" and "Boogie w/ Stu"
The rest passed without.
― Mark G, Monday, 6 April 2009 23:48 (fifteen years ago) link
I've been listening to PG for years and it just struck me today how fierce Page's guitar tone is on (the song) "Houses of the Holy." I want all guitar to sound like that all the time.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 6 April 2009 23:51 (fifteen years ago) link
i generally love the acoustic stuff on the other early albums, but for some reason III just leaves me cold.
― Shawty Lo Collier (some dude), Tuesday, 7 April 2009 00:44 (fifteen years ago) link
Physical Graffiti won, what else do you want? Justice was done. I would personally like to see Presence higher in the tally, but you can't have everything, I guess.
― To Float Away On A Lifelong Song (Bimble), Tuesday, 7 April 2009 02:23 (fifteen years ago) link
"Night Flight"

also "The Rover"
