Legoman,
Are you the guy who wrote that "eight foot boners" comment about Genesis fans in one of your album reviews? |
Hahhaa. I think that was about Yes fans... I seem to
remember. Eh. I hardly remember exactly why I said it
anymore. Hahaha. I guess it is all that Pink Floyd being my
favorite and doing drugs buisness.

My vote is for the All Mighty Zep!
I would take Wish you were here over any Zep album, but I'd take any Zep album over the rest of Floyd's catalog.

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.

i disagree. Led zeppelin progressed from album to album. Led zeppelin I was bluesy- then they went to more hard rock in Led Zeppelin II -then they went folky in Led zeppelin III and so on and so forth. i do however like Pink floyd more though. I agree that pink floyd progressed more then Led zeppelin. But zeppelin defenatly did progress. I love them both but floyd gets my vote.

You fools. Why compare these bands? They sound very different. The
glory of these two bands is that they're the two best from the 70s and yet
you can love them both unconditionally because they're so different.
PA forumers throw around the phrase 'too different to compare' a lot, but
this time it is appropriate. If you prefer one of them fine, but they can't
possibly be juxaposed in a hope to determine a better.

Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd may sound completely different, but Zeppelin is just more fun to listen to, no matter the mood or setting. I suppose there would be some situations in which you'd rather be listening to PF, but... for the most part, I know I'd rather be listening to Black Dog or Rock n Roll or the Immigrant song... or anything else by Zep I suppose... its all really good! Ha, I usually get annoyed that people go on and on about how influencial they are and how original their music is... and they did do a fair amount of 'ripping off' other artists... but I just like the way Zeppelin does it!
Ah I love watching the live DVDs too... forget what theyre called... anyone know what Im talkin about? That DVD set with the rock formation on the front.... and.. the thingy...
Well whatever, all I know is, if I ever manage to get myself a car, I'm gonna be the only guy drivin down the road blastin 'Rock n Roll' outta my speakers instead of some giant mess of crap by 50 cent... or Lloyd Banks... or 'The Game' or some other filthy rich idiot who got shot in his pinky finger and some other non-vital body part and owns a multi million dollar record empire for that reason alone...

Wow this is hard! -- Both are incredibley talented and original and crucial to the evolution of music.
I think it comes down to what I'm in the mood to listen to more, and that would probably be LED ZEPPELIN. I think they satisfy a wider range of styles and moods than Floyd. Zeppelin can have so straight up rockers, long bluesy jams, and even some progressive trips (i.e. No Quarter). I feel like I listened to Floyd more when I'm chilled out or in a prog mood (which is alot tho).
Even tho it's impossible for me to decide, I'm gonna throw my vote to Led Zeppelin.

Individually, every member of Zep is a better musician than any member
of Floyd. Also, their songs are better and more diverse.
Pink Floyd is THE over-rated prog band. Led Zeppelin wrote what
is widely excepted as the greatest rock song ever. With Floyd,
it's the same droning, depressing song over and over again. I
really don't see any complexity in any of their music...sure, they do
concept albums, but it's like the same song for 50 minutes! They
ought to change it up a little (The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway, Tales
From Topographic Oceans, etc...).

Seriously, I love Pink Floyd but Led Zep, as an "overall" band is
far more interesting. Pink Floyd obviously completely kicks their ass
on prog level.

Floyd & Zep cant really be compared. Floyd are pure prog and Zep are just superb rock with occasional prog leanings. Both are 'awsome' bands in their own right IMO.
When Zep do prog out (Rain Song, No Quater, Achilles Last Stand etc) they are mindblowing!
Sorry, but I cant vote for one over the other..

There is NO COMPARISON between Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd. I'm a
HUGE Floyd fan and I can still say Zeppelin wins all day long and for
every reason. Pink Floyd's songwriting isn't more creative or
complex than Led Zeppelin, it's actually more simplistic.
Page vs. Gilmour: PAGE's classic riffs and awesome solos CANNOT BE
TOUCHED BY Gilmour, the emotion in his solos are much more moving and
ooze with feeling. Page is the most soulful guitarist ever and
although Gilmour is great too he doesn't come close.
Plant vs. Waters and Gimour: this is an area that is comparable in
quality although not substantially. Pink Floyd has some GREAT
vocals like 'Echoes' but Robert Plant is much more energetic,
passionate, moving, and soulful.
Jon Paul Jones vs. Roger Waters: Jon Paul Jones is one of the best
bassists ever, his bass lines are so active and add so much to the
music. I don't think I've ever heard any bass playing even worth
mentioning from Waters.
Jon Paul Jones vs. Richard Wright Jon Paul Jones is a BETTER
keyboard and piano player than Wright, just listen to the extended
piano solo in the bootleg DESTROYER and you will agree. He is
also a better songwriter than Richard Wright
John Bonham vs. Nick Mason: Best rock and roll drummer of all time compared to one of the worst.
Led Zeppelin's music is actually more creative and diverse than Pink
Floyd's music in my opinion. They had moving soulful blues songs
like Ten Years Gone. Pseudo-metal in Achilles Last Stand.
Progressive rock with No Quarter and Carouselambra, and moving
love songs like Babe I'm Gonna Leave you, and Since i've been loving
you. I don't think it's possible to be moved by a Pink Floyd song
but Led Zeppelin is SOO MOVING and their music is much more effective
in conveying emotions, which is what rock is ALL ABOUT! In
general each Led Zeppelin song conveys a completely different sound and
Pink Floyd's sound is mostly homogeous.
