I honestly haven't heard enough Rush yet to make the call, but I will say this:
 
2112 and Zoso are both very good records, but I find myself skipping tracks more on the LZ4 record than on 2112. Same thing with the "Presence" record. Great couple of songs, but the rest sound like filler to my ears.
 
Based on that, I have to admit that Rush seems to have more quality, whileLed seems to be mopre about quantity.
 
But since neither band is near the top of my list, what do I know? Embarrassed

Zeppelin for me,didn't have a bad album in their discography where Rush certainly have.I really like Rush but i seem to think that most people are voting just cuz they think Zeppelin are overrated.Its not gonna be my most popular theory.

I've been lucky to see both Zeppelin w/Bonham and Rush. Both technically excellent bands but I have to go with Zeppelin.

Zepplin is basic, like Floyd Crims Yes Genesis

I like Rush, but they got no place near Zep.

Well it's a prog site so it shouldn't surprise you at all. A decent prog band vs. the greatest band of all time. Rolling Stones  for me.

That would be tough for me too. However, this is Rush. No-brainer.

Rush wins this for me, as they still produce quality material (yes, I like Snakes and Arrows very much).

That doesn't mean Led Zeppelin is not awesome, though. :)

I'm really surprised at Rush's popularity in a forum like this.  They're a vaery talented band but it seems like some folks have them in their top 3 of all time.  I voted Zep who I think are quite good but somewhat overrated.  I like to make mix/greatest hits CDs and I'd say that if you limit it to one CD per band (say, 60-75 mintes), Led Zep stacks up against anyone.  But man, they sure put out a lot of noisy, repetitive dreck. 

Rush? I only really like 2 of their songs (Subdivisions & Fly By Night).  They have lots that aren't bad but for me they're barely prog and their best songs are nowhere near as good as Zep or many other bands.  As a Canadian however,  I'm still kind of pleased at their popularity.

I vote Rush. I have seen both live more than once and have all both band's recordings. Zeppelin was brilliant for their first 5 years then they were pretty much done. You could hear Page going downhill with his drug problem starting with Houses Of The Holy, and Physical Graffiti was disappointing and uneven. Although Rush owes a lot to Zeppelin, they were (are) more consistent, professional, and innovative.

This is disturbing! The band that started as a Zeppelin-lite, is beating the knights of rock rock rock?  

I'm not a big fan of some of Zep's output (like II, and IV for the most part), but damn if I, III, Phys, Houses, Presence aren't great albums.  The only Rush album I could maybe put on par with Zep is 2112.  At least in terms of something interesting, and worth many repeated listens.

Don't really listen to Led Zep anymore, and the few times I've tried to listen to them in recent times, it just hasn't interested me anymore to be honest.

I can listen to Rush, and feel genuinely excited by it and don't feel the need to turn it off halfway through a song.
