I choose LZ... their 5 first albums are pioneers in heavy metal...
I also like Maiden but... if i compare or if you make me choose between them and Zep, DP or Sabbath... the options are logical...

Easy, Led Zeppelin by a very large margin. Iron Maiden are pretty good, but they don't interest me the least.

lLet's face the facts: both are fantastic bands, but Zeppelin is better. They were one of the greatest rock bands of all time, and Maiden is only one of the greatest heavy metal bands of all time.

this is exactly what i was afraid of... sure, both bands are great but what are they doing here and why are they taking time from us while we could search and find out about tons of other prog bands their existence we ignore?

Really...!!! How can you compare such two different styles of rock?? Comparing Iron Maiden with Led Zeppelin is like comparing "chalk with cheese" !!

Maybe rephrase it to "Which band would you choose if one had to die..."

This is ridiculous! I have nothing against Iron Maiden, own quite a numer of IM-albums, but nevertheless... Led Zeppelin, full stop!

My thoughts exactly. I don't dislike Iron maiden and even went to see them in 1980 but there is just no comparison. Led Zeppelin win hands down for creativity, ability and innovation.

Zeppelin -- don't think I've even ever heard an IM song.
(I just know that they are a major metal band -- but I haven't cared for metal since around age twelve - thirteen, when I started getting into prog.)
What used to be called "hard rock" I can handle, and enjoy, and I don't mind encountering some "metallic" flavours in prog (Rush, Steve Morse, Steve Unruh, even IQ, etc) -- but flat-out metal just doesn't turn my crank. I find it to be too emotionally uni-dimensional, "cartoonish," or something.
There's lots of beauty along with all the power and testosterone, in LZ. No animated, murderous, bloody skeletons on their album covers, either. 
Surely these bands are from two different genres of rock?

Led Zeppelin by MILES  ... Iron Maiden is a band that has never 'clicked' on me despite I made the effort so many times ...

Is there really any competition?
Zep owns Iron Maiden by a long shot.

funny poll, no similaritiers between the two.
musically Led seppelin is the better party, songwise Iron Maiden where better, but overall quality will always be in favour of Led. But i'm still inclined to vote for Iron Maiden, such beauty in their songs.
so I vote for Iron Maiden, does that make me a bad person.

They can't be compared!! come on!! what were you thinking about? may be that you are a real Fan of Maiden just to campare them with Zeppelin, but Zeppelin is part of the History of the begining of Rock, Hard Rock and Heavy Metal, besides they are the Base of many other bands that appeared after. I like maiden as well, but they are more important in Heavy Metal since 80's only.
