Both songs are memorable to me, i like much the first part of 2112, but the last part not much.
Achilles for me, great fond memories of that song.  |

Interesting the results, even if Rush is wining by a good margin, still Zep has received 13 votes.

I only really like very early Led Zeppelin. Don't really go for any later stuff at all.
I love most of Rush.
2112 is one of my favourite Rush albums, and the title track is absolutely outstanding.
No surprise then that Rush win by several parsecs.

^I consider Presence to be different, I divide Zep in 2 eras(or maybe 3). The 1st era has Zep's I, II and III, which this is my fave era, with a more heavy blues oriented. While the 2nd era starts to develop in a more hard rock sound, which from Zep's isn't my fave.

It can't be Page's and Plant's favourite Zepp album with no reason...

is it their favourite album?  I think it's easily their weakest, except for Achilles and Nobody's fault but mine, the other songs don't do much for me. I even prefer In through the out door.

I'll vote Zep, but Presence in its time was a huge disappointment for me. I had hoped for better from them, but it was not to be.

"2112" in my opinion is one of the Rush tracks I truly enjoy, containing the use of reocurring themes and interesting lyrics based on one of my favorite books. "Achilles Last Stand" was a dissapointment to me, because I assumed because it was a long song it must have been good, but it didn't prove to be much more than a long song.
I don't expect Achilles to stand a chance.

As much as I love Zeppelin I had to vote for Rush this time. Achilles last stand is great but not as much as 2112 in my opinion. The only criticism I would do to 2112 is Geddy's voice wich gets annoying at some points, although I got used to it by now, but I still prefer his later voice. Even thoug Plant sings very high too, his voice rarely gets annoying.
