8 albums with 69 original songs. 1 other song. 70 songs in total.

1969 Led Zeppelin (7)

Two excellent rock songs, "Dazed and Confused" (the best on the album) and "Good Times Bad Times", as well as an early heavy-metal tune, "Communication Breakdown". One uneven, but curious little tune, "Babe I'M Gonna Leave You". Three disappointing songs: "Your Time Is Gonna Come", "How Many More Times" and "Black Mountain Side". And two cover songs: "You Shook Me" and "I Can't Quit You Baby". 

1969 Led Zeppelin II (9)

All good songs: "Thank You" (probably the best, though many will disagree), "Whole Lotta Love" (most people would pick this one as the best), "Ramble On", "What Is and What Should Never Be", "Heartbreaker", "Moby Dick" (those drums!), "Living Loving Maid She's Just a Woman", "The Lemon Song" (those tempo changes!) and "Bring It On Home" (quite a surprise, it starts out all folksy and bluesy, and then erupts).

1970 Led Zeppelin III (8)

"Immigrant Song" is one of Led Zeppelin's greatest songs. Three other songs are quite good: "Tangerine", "Bron-Y-Aur Stomp" and "That's the Way". There are also four disappointments: "Friends", "Out on the Tiles", "Celebration Day" and "Since I've Been Loving You". "Gallows Pole" and "Hats Off to Roy Harper" are covers.

1971 Led Zeppelin IV (8)

Led Zeppelin's greatest album. The "Stairway To Heaven" album. One timeless masterpiece. Five outstanding classics: "Black Dog", "Rock And Roll", "Going To California", "The Battle Of Evermore" and "When The Levee Breaks". One fine tune, "Misty Mountain Hop". And only one weak song: "Four Sticks". 

1973 Houses Of The Holy (8)

 

An uneven album. Some songs are among Led Zeppelin's greatest: "D'yer Mak'er" (the album's highlight), "Over The Hills And Far Away", "The Song Remains the Same" and "Dancing Days". And some among their most forgettable ones: "The Rain Song", "No Quarter", "The Ocean" and "The Crunge".

1975 Physical Graffiti (15)

Led Zeppelin's only double album. But this double album isn't at all like The Beatles' "White Album" or Fleetwood Mac's "Tusk" (i.e. a perfect occasion to showcase the band's most eccentric songs). Here, it's basically... more of the same (except perhaps for "Down By The Seaside", very different from Led Zeppelin's other tunes). Some songs are very good, like "Kashmir" (definitely the best track on this album), "In The Light" and "Trampled Under Foot". Some very bad  ("Ten Years Gone", "In My Time of Dying", "Sick Again", "The Rover", "Custard Pie" and "The Wanton Song"). And a lot in between ("Bron-Yr-Aur", "Black Country Woman", "Night Flight", "Houses Of The Holy" and "Boogie With Stu"). 

1976 Presence (7)

Led Zeppelin's weakest album. Only two good songs: "Achilles Last Stand" (the album's high point) and "Tea For One". The rest is quite forgettable: "Nobody's Fault But Mine", "For Your Life", "Candy Store Rock", "Hots On For Nowhere" and "Royal Orleans". They all sound the same; it's not easy to distinguish one from another.

1979 In Through The Out Door (7)

A great comeback album. Six excellent songs: "All My Love" (the best among them), "Hot Dog", "In The Evening", "Fool In The Rain", "South Bound Saurez" and "I'M Gonna Crawl". And one average song, "Carouselambra".

Another song (1):

"Hey Hey What Can I Do" (1970)
