I was inspired by someone doing this on Facebook, so I thought I'd bring the fun here.

@Sonic Temple -- I figured you might like to do this as well!

Anyhow, Day 1 -- Led Zeppelin IV vs Black Sabbath's Paranoid -- what's your preference?


I've always been more into Zeppelin than Black Sabbath, but I am giving this one to the Sab Four. Paranoid gets my vote.

I like your methodology here!


Black Dog vs War Pigs -War Pigs
Rock and Roll vs Paranoid - Paranoid
The Battle of Evermore vs Planet Caravan - TIE!
Stairway to Heaven vs Iron Man - TIE!
Misty Mountain Hop vs Electric Funeral - Misty Mountain Hop
Four Sticks vs Hand of Doom - Hand of Doom
Going to California vs Rat Salad - Going to California
When the Levee Breaks vs Fairies Wear Boots - When the Levee Breaks

3 - 3 - 2

I'm still giving the edge to Paranoid because I really like Black Dog, but I love War Pigs. Overall, a very close call.

How about Paranoid vs. Zeppelin 2 vs. Machine Head(or Made in Japan)?
All pretty heavy albums.

Musically it's a tie, lyrically it's no contest...Black Sabbath by a mile.

Robert Plant never got beyond what he didn't rip off from Tolkein and the rest was sex fluff.

Another reason why music has declined, no one plays the electric harpsichord.

Now you see, I would rank Physical Graffiti ahead of LZ4...I'd also have Houses of the Holy and LZ2 over LZ4.
