I don't know Presence enough to rate it. Achilles is fucking epic.. but besides that I never listen to it.
That's kinda how I feel about Presence as well. It has Achilles... which is an awesome song and then some other songs that I never really feel like listening to.
If I had to, I'd probably rank them thusly:
Houses I just really love the vibe on this album. It certainly helps that it is also, front to back packed with great songs. Out of all the Zeppelin albums, I find Houses of the Holy to be the most listenable. I can listen to it again and again and not really get tired of it.
IV Almost perfect. Some of the songs might be a little overplayed, but it also has the excellent and semi-underrated "Going To California" and "When the Levee Breaks."
IIJust front to back rock and roll heaven. The heights on IV are higher but there's absolutely nothing bad on this album.
PGA little scattershot, but with some great gems. Probably didn't need to be a double album.
IA great, bluesy debut but just doesn't excite me as much as some of their other albums.
Door Definitely a giant, blazing sign broadcasting a band on its way to certain implosion. Still, they managed to craft an album with some fantastic songs even if the whole package was maybe not the best note to end on.
IIIA couple of good songs, mostly meh. Not a bad album, but so completely overshadowed by everything else. Maybe it deserves more credit for being slightly more experimental than II and IV, but I think that only really matters if the songs are great or even just good. To me, they aren't.
PresenceIt has "Achilles Last Stand," which is an awesome song. The rest are just kind of unmemorable. Not much more I can say about this than that.
