I don't want this to sound persnickity by any means, so I'm sorry if this comes off that way, but I feel that who cares what they sound like between songs, isn't it the music we should be judging on, and not a personality contest? I don't know maybe its just me.

Anyway, I picked "How The West Was Won" because it keeps me interested throughout the whole album and has so much more variety, whether Jimmy Page is shredding his acoustic guitar in their countryesque jam Bron-Yr-Aur-Stomp, or Plant is wildly throwing out his passionate cries in the bluesy "Since I've Been Loving You".
