^ Not true Sabbath had a lot of subtle moments, beautiful stuff. But Zep had much more acoustic songs and sound.

zep for me; they were crude most of the time, but could be subtle too. Sabbath and subtle dont go.

Black Sabbath gives me goose bumps like only few bands/artists does, i adore just about everything they did in the 70's, and i might be the only one here that thinks their last couple of albums (in the 70's) are brilliant. Cool

Sabbath. They had a jazz influence which gives them that cool swing. Zeppelin seem a bit rock n roll influenced which makes them less of a prog band. I also prefer Ozzy's voice over Plant and Iommi's guitar over Page. Zeps sound more outdated to me

Hi everybody!

My vote goes to Led Zeppelin, cause they
show a broader range of styles.

Funny, it's kind of the reverse for me.  Like "Stairway to Heaven"...I never saw why that song was so great.  Kashmir is amazing, though.

I love Sabbath's Doom Metal elements.  Their title track is just legendary, and every bit as effective, I think, as when it debuted.

Black Sabbath for me. They were much more varied than people might think: Heavy "Hendrix-like" blues --> Black Sabbath. Heavy Metal --> Paranoid, Master Of Reality, Vol. 4. Hard Rock with Prog- and Art-Rock Elements --> Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, Sabotage, Technical Ecstasy, and finally.... total crap --> Never Say Die hahaha!!

what makes you think they would've made bad albums? As solo artists, all three remaining members did good albums and the collaboration Page & Plant was great. Based on this idea, i think they would not have messed things up, had Bonzo not died and had they made music together. My opinion.
Some solo albums by Robert Plant from 80´s are certainly weak - e.g. Shaken´n´ Stirred. Or, for sure, In Through The Out Door is controversial.
 
Goodness knows, how would be look their collective production in 80´s...Confused

Black Sabbath all the way, and I won't even play the cards that some Beatles fans use by saying that Sabbath invented hard rock and all the sub-genres that followed. 

P.S. Zeppelin never released a bad album, are you sure of that?Geek
