Black Sabbath got more interesting as they went along, pretty much everything is classic but from Sabbath Bloody Sabbath they were much interesting. Songs like Iron Man and Paranoid are just one side of the band, like you can't define LZ with Comunication Breakdown and Black Dog it's just one side of them.

Oh come on man! I guess you are not familiar with Sabbath if you mentioned these songs.
And tonny's riffing are not alive? Oh Oh! |
Oh, I am familiar with those songs, and no matter how many times I hear them on the radio at my other job (those songs haven't got to the point of annoyance yet), they are just ... blah! I don't like Ozzy's voice, ... never liked it, and Tony does not sound as proficient as Jimmy. Of course one need not be really proficient; it's just that Tony ... I just think he can do better.

Led Zeppelin by a mile! Their music is much deeper and they are absolutely classy and mythic! I like Black Sabbath and I rescpect them but they aren't in the same league.

Led Zep for me also. Funny, my favorite single work by Black Sabbath remains the remarkable "Heaven and Hell!"
I play lots of BS and Led Zep on guitar & bass, and Led Zep shows more instrumental brilliance. However, I don't know what they put into Iommi's tea during the "Heaven & Hell" sessions, but that is some brilliant guitar work!! Coupled with RJD vocals, you have magic.
Not to slight the rest of the Sabbath catalog, I love every bit of it!

Well I I can't believe how close it is, I was sure that Zeppelin would have around 80% of the votes. The live version of ''Since I've Been Loving You'' is one of the best thing I ever heard.

Tough one, but I think LZ was far more accomplished and certainly more varied in their approach. They have some awesome headbanging songs, but they also have some of the most beautiful acoustic tunes in the history of rock. I think it's that excellent juxtaposition of acoustic and electric that sets Zeppelin apart from the majority of rock bands.
That being said, I think Geezer Butler is a better bass player than John Paul Jones, and I like Bill Ward's drumming almost as much as John Bonham's (although the bone crunching play of Bonham is extraordinary).

I might even have thought differently about this poll had Sabbath Bloody Sabbath not come along. Sabbath changed with that album. Some hardcore Sabbath fans will tell you that's where you get off with Sabbath but that's actually where they became gritty, not just scary in a sort of amusing way. They carried on with this in Sabotage and regained that edge much later with Dio in Dehumanizer. For that reason, I always felt their music was more powerful to me than Led Zeppelin's. Or Deep Purple for that matter. It took Sabbath some time but they eventually went beyond just rocking out and tried to emulate The Who.

I like LZ kind of. Not a big fan but they're decent.
Sabbath on the other hand is bloody great, so easy choice for me

The Zeps have a lot in their arsenal: 'Dazed and Confused', 'Whole Lotta Love', 'The Immigrant Song', the stairs, my personal favorite - the album "Houses of the Holy", 'In My Time of Dying', 'Ten Years Gone', ... . What does Sabbath have? 'Iron Man'? 'Paranoid'? My ears say they are dead to me. Besides, I find Jimmy's riffs more melodic, more ... alive than Tony's.

not an expert on Sabbath but I suspect this is meant to be ironic.
For me Sabbath were actually a more unique band much more in keeping with their origins (Birmingham/Industrial). Always considered Bill Ward a very underrated drummer.
Zep did what Floyd did to some extent - reinvent Blues and crack America big time. I always feel its a bit 'second hand' as a result. That said Zep developed some more interesting ideas as time went on than Sabbath who just got stuck in a rut and died a bit of a death (until the Ronnie James Dio era to be fair)
I went for the both option but neither threaten my top ten fave bands.
