I just think for the talent they had in the band they could have been better. John Paul Jones is a fantastic arranger yet they hardly ever used him. They seemed to be more about macho posturing & muscle rather than invention and that my biggest problem with them.

Maybe in '73, '75, and '77, but they were all about the music from '68-'72. Best live band ever during that time period. I know I'm going out on a limb by saying that, but listen to 5 bootlegs each year from '69-'72 and tell me they weren't an incredible live band.
Anyways, are you saying Physical Graffiti is a leftovers album? Even if it is, it doesn't mean it may be their best album. Besides the big songs on there, I can't think of any weak songs it has (besides maybe Sick Again and Black Country Woman, both of which are great live).
And why weren't there any posts in this thread in over a year?
