 Topic: Pink Floyd vs. Led Zeppelin
Posted: October 27 2005 at 18:46 |
|
Now... this poll may be a little bias due to this being a PROG forum
and all but... some people have some terrible misconceptions. Zeppelin
has nothing on Pink Floyd. Buttt... I wanted to see what you all
thought.
And, I am aware that this poll probably exists somewhere on these forums but I am new so...

Pink Floyd doesn't have a virtuoso for a drummer. Otherwise I enjoy Pink Floyd. Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd are both in my top ten or so favorite bands, so I can't vote accurately. Favorites depend on my mood and why I'm listening to music at any given time, interesting poll question though. 
Undecided.

Legoman,
Are you the guy who wrote that "eight foot boners" comment about Genesis fans in one of your album reviews?

Zep is alright but, they are more of a dullard rock band. They had their moments, they had a great drummer, but they were trapped in their music. Pink Floyd was constantly progressing throughout the 60's and 70's.

Zep. JohnSnow: Zeppelin wasn't trapped in their music at all. they changed a
lot from album to album later on in their career. Hence, the latter days.

Same here, except replace Zep with Floyd. =P

Pink Floyd has better compositions and with that I'm going to say PF.

Pink Floyds well playing together fit better than Zepplin (not saying
personality wise) theyre just more... equal qith eachother for lack of
a better word.

Maybe it's just my ears, but after Wish you were here, Floyd never really got out of the style they had done with that album and Dark Side.

I agree, don't consider myself a fan of either, see Zeppelin as the better band though.

I was about to write a text with more than a few arguments. But...why bother?¡. Let´s just compare both bands´ most representative and best songs:
Stairway to heaven, Kashmir, No quarter.............mmhh, yeah, that´s it.
Vs
Set the controls to the heart of the sun, Let there be more light, Atom Heart mother, Echoes, Money, Any colour you like, Shine, wish you were here, Dogs, Comfortably numb, Run like hell, In the flesh, HIgh hopes.
Pink Floyd beats Zeppelin also in creativity and feeling.
