As I was a blues fan in the late 1960’s, I loved Zepplin’s first album, and none since.

You must have heard, “In My Time of Dying,” from “Physical Graffiti.” I don’t know what the original sounds like, but Zep’s version rocks harder than anything else they ever did, including the first album. It’s punishing and hypnotic.
Zepplin’s version of Travelin Riverside blues would please you then.
it was recorded early around time of LZII I think
but released much later on Coda...again guessing
I liked their stuff through Houses of the Holy and unlike many i actually like LZIII a lot
there are nuggets here and there after HOTH but those first 5 really shine’
I can say that about many bands really...Black Sabbath comes to mind
Lynyrd Skynyrd another..
Pink Floyd on the other hand...while yes the early LSD addled stuff was interesting their best output to me was Water-Gilmour in mid years of the band in total
Fleetwood Mac another mid years ..between early super bluesy year and those when Lindsey Buckingman who i like don’t get me wrong..took over
Fleetwood mac...the Kirwin-Spencer years when Christine Mcveigh had more voice yet also includes later Peter Green in stride before the LSD Munich thing in 70 but before Buckingham mac
