A few notes:
1.I know, there are 3 compilations. These are artists where I feel they never released a definitive desert island from start to finish record, but did release a large handful of some of the greatest songs ever written.
2.Yeah, I put LZIII. Stairway is better than anything on III. Kashmir and In The Light from 'Physical Graffiti' are better than anything on III. And so on. But I think III is more consistently good than any other LZ record.
3.I wanted to include a Nirvana record and/or an old-school Metallica record, but in both cases, I couldn't settle on one without missing songs from another of that band's records. I'm weird like that.
