They weren't prog... they were sure as heck influenced by it but have NEVER seen a reference to Zeppelin being a prog group.  They were about selling albums, filling stadiums,  and getting rich... prog is about merging art and music. The closest Zeppelin got to art was writing the book on 1001 ways to defile a groupie (which is a art though hahahha) They did incorporate prog elements in their music... that's a long way from being a prog group.   Consider me a vorciforous opponent of Zeppelin getting in here.

I can't and won't choose between these two bands. They're equally incredible.

Nah... I wont give my opinion in this, there's no point in comparison, they are both 2 awesome bands and very, VERY different from each other, I love them both.

EDIT: I saw someone else already commented on what I was going to say.

FOCUS: I would say that overall, Zeppelin is better since they have had a greater influence on later bands over Floyd, and are generally well-received with most audiences.  I am not a fan of Floyd at all, but that has nothing to do with my outlook.

this poll doesnt belong on a prog forum cause everyone is naturally gonna pick floyd

i voted zepplin their lyrics arent as goods as floyds but gilmour has nothing on mr. page, and then when u add johnny boy on drums there is no comparison to me

dont get me wrong i love floyd to death but they dont match up to zep for me

and plus has anyone ever asked you if you've "gotten the floyd out?"

You cant compare a band totaly on musical talent.  If we did that Asia would be one of the best bands on the planet. 

true as a lobster in a pteredaktyl's underpants.

Led Zeppelin is the best "straight-forward" rock band, however I like my music to be a bit more complex. So PF gets my vote.

Pink Floyd, EASILY.  It's not like I don't like Led Zeppelin (I do), but Pink Floyd are much more interesting and they got me introduced to prog (along with many others), so I have to vote for them.

The Pink Floyd of course... Zeppelin are probably the masters of heavy rock,
but Jimmy Page is very overrated in my opinion.

I voted for Pink Floyd.  I used to love Zeppelin and I can remember biking up to the local, independent, record store to get each new release.  But over the course of time, Floyd has stood up better for me. That early Zeppelin stuff off the first several albums though, just can't be beat and I think when it comes to the 1970s you picked the two major acts. cha-ching, cha-ching.

Pink Floyd is head and shoulders above Zep.
 
I used to be a HUUUUUUGE Zep fan (when i first really got into music)
 
Looking at them now, Ive never heard a band that has such a huge difference between their great songs and bad songs, and nothing in between.
 
If I'm not listening to Zeps 20 best (and most popular/radioplayed songs).....Im not listening to Zep.
 
Pink Floyd by thisHug much....The musicianship in both are great though(zep moreso in fact.)
