First album for me.
 

I can’t even imagine listening to this album for the first time and getting blown away. “Dazzed and Confused” just stunned me. 
“Kashmir” is one of my favs although it’s from Physical Graffiti. 
 

For those of you that mentioned Allison Steele,  "The Night Bird" I believe it was WNEW FM 107.9? in NY. She came on around 11PM and was the absolute best!!! No jumping from genre to genre, No sudden turns. She led you through a nightly form of bliss. How she was able to captivate you was amazing. She would take you through a journey (w/o drugs, I'm sure many were!) that only she could do. 

The people that had listened to her know what I'm taking about!!!!

Led Zep . . . The GOAT!  Every album is great but my personal favorites are IV (of Course), II and Physical Graffiti.  However, I have listened to them so many times, that I now prefer to listen to the widely available and excellent bootlegs that capture the essence of the band live, raw and mind blowing! 1971-9-29 Osaka and 1975 Tarant County Texas  are two excellent boots, as are the LA 1977 shows, Particularly Listen To This Eddie!  Growing up with Led Zep in the 1970’s and knowing what the recording technology was at that time, what people have been able to do with those original tapes using current mixing and mastering software on a laptop are simply amazing!

For Studio albums it has to be Physical Graffiti, but for live performance it's Celebration Day even tho it was Jason not John on Drums.
