The only thing I like on "Presence" is "Achilles Last Stand" and "nobody's Fault But Mine", and I love Zep. I just found the album to be weak in the musical sense. It did not have as many hooks as the others, and just was not as strong.

In Guitar World, Jimmy Page says "Presence" was his Favourite album because it was done under "near impossible terms". ( Because of Robert's leg being broken and he being in a wheelchair )

Just as a side note, I am seeing Micheal White and The White when they come to Ottawa in April. They are playing Zep 2 and Presence, along with other Zep hits. I beleive they are the only Zep cover band that is somewhat "endorsed" by Jimmy himself.
