I listen to Led Zeppelin far less than I used to, but this album has never left my rotation. Never loses steam with the heavier tracks, but the best of Zeppelin's softer side is seen on Evermore and California. Bonham's drumming on Levee is immortal.

Top 3:
When the Levee Breaks
Rock and Roll
The Battle of Evermore

Worst:
Misty Mountain Hop

Slightly overrated in the sense that some people think it rivals Purple Rain (it doesn't). This album has an extremely wide diversity of sounds which inevitably leads to a couple misses, despite an overall high hit rate. But still, easily Prince's best and most memorable non-revolution work. One of the greatest 3 song runs to end an album ever.

Top 3:
Adore
It's gonna be a beautiful night
The cross

Worst:
If I was your girlfriend

Overshadowed by Purple Rain but absolutely worth a listen. Not perfect like it's predecessor but still incredibly enjoyable.

Top 3:
Raspberry Beret
Paisley Park
America

Worst:
Temptation

First listen-2020

Just endlessly recognizable, memorable and relisten-able. It's so nearly perfect. Absolute landmark album.

Top 3:
Purple Rain
Baby I'm a Star
Let's Go Crazy

Worst:
Darling Nikki
