Led Zeppelin for me, they've never released a weak album, Black Sabbath did.

Led Zep for me, I saw them in 1979 just before the death of John Bonham at Knebworth. The guitarist in our band is also in a Black Sabbath tribute band so don't you guys tell him I voted for Zep! LOL

LZ were clearly the more talented musicians and had, marginally, the better singer (yeah, let me just say it that Plant's not all that he's cracked up to be, influential but in his own right a rather average singer) but Sabbath got more out of their talent.  The rambling, amorphous nature of many of LZ's songs is a sore point with me, I like rock music to be thoroughly composed and even where it has improvisations, to accommodate those appropriately rather than making the whole song a quasi-jam.  Ultimately, I feel LZ's enormous talent by itself does not make for as compelling a reason to listen to their work as Sabbath. So, I vote for Sabbath.

I started to listen to Led Zeppelin when I was 15 years-old. Both my mother and my father bought the Remasters anthology and I used to borrow it from times to times. In fact, I didn't have to buy the records, since my parents bought them!
Then, I discovered Black Sabbath nearly by myself (yet, my father had the Heavy Metal OST featuring "The Mob Rules" and two tracks from Sabotage on a tape).

I always listened to them (and Deep Purple! and BÖC! and Alice Cooper! and Mountain!) at the same rate, even if I feel closer to the topics of Sab'.
But I can't prefer one band to the other. And, more important, you have to keep at least ONE thing in mind: they are better than Rush.

Way better.

Although musically, Led Zep were far superior to Sabbath (which The Sabs themselves would acknowledge), i've always had more pleasure from Sabbath, so they get my vote.
