I'm fairly burned out on Zeppelin, but still enjoy covers and live tracks.

Can't say which studio album is worse, but I HIGHLY recommend the 4 CD audio version of their live release "Led Zeppelin DVD" which are various picks from shows from '69-'79. (I assume the tracks are cleaned and redubbed and they sure sound awesome.)

I mentioned, I listen to Zep live and cover stuff because I'm somewhat burned out on the originals. Two MUST HAVE Zep cover albums IMHO -
