Led Zeppelin III
Led Zeppelin

"Finally, Some Good Fucking Food" Sure, I'm a drummer who was greatly influenced by Bonham, meaning I'm incredibly biased. But whatever, fuck the haters, this album is a masterpiece. Many fans were let down by the feeling that the complete album didn't match the sheer force/energy of the legendary opening track "Immigrant Song" - but I'd argue that's not what they were going for. III was LZ's attempt to push themselves as musicians and defy the press's belief that they were nothing but loud blues rockers. That resulted in the band experimenting with blues, metal, acoustic, and folk elements to create a truly unique euphony of sound. And if nothing else, the pushback the band got from this album ultimately pushed them to go balls-to-the-wall on IV, one of the greatest albums ever created. So there's that lol.
