But now that I think better, everything can be compared!!! but this is the result.

 I like both bands, but zeppelin has more than 10 years of advantage and Importance.

Let's see, I own six or seven Led Zep CD's & zero IM CD's.

Looks like Led Zeppelin wins - again.

This is very easy to choose, really.
One of the hundreds of reason is that without Led Zep, a band like Iron Maiden would not have existed. Period.

    I'll go with the weak one here... I don't like Zepp's bluesy-style, neither do I Plant's vocals....I prefer The Maiden.

Really difficult to choose between the two for several reasons.

1. The bands are from different generations.

2. It's unfair to compare one classic band that quit making music 25 years ago to one who is still    recording and touring.

3. It's hare to compare two bands with such different sounds. Led Zeppelin is blues/rock and Iron Maiden is metal/rock.

And I could go on and on and on.

Bruce Dickinson and Steve Harris are better musicians. Jimmy Page is the better guitar player. And Led Zeppelin is more "progressive" than Iron Maiden. I also have to take into account which band changed the music scene more. Had Iron Maiden started in the 60's then they might have made more of an impact socially. If you listen to mainstream radio chances are you will hear Led Zeppelin but you WON'T hear Iron Maiden. Stairway to Heaven is a classic song. Houses of the Holy is one of my all time favorite albums. But Iron Maiden has several classic albums as well.

This is like comparing apples to oranges. Both are great. But I guess I can choose only one.

In the end I have to choose Led Zeppelin.

A couple of years ago i'd even vote for Maiden, but now... no way. Led Zeppelin is great, Iron Maiden is... boring! Tongue

Typical young boy observation. One thing is to like Maiden more than Zep; another is to confess ignorance about Zep and, in the same sentence, make a wanna-be sarcastic comment.
 
BTW, this comment teachs a lot about some overrated groups in this site (I'm talking about the prog metal outfits).
 
Like both and have all their albums, but of course Zep is invencible in this dispute.
Bach, Ma, Bros, Déia, Dante.

I vote for LED ZEPPELI because, at the end, is Prog.

The IRON MAIDEN is only a overrated but really magic NWOBHM star band.

Oh my God, Led Zeppelin, of course...Zeppelin style has influenced an infinity of bands later on; they mixed so many genres and styles. Iron Maiden is simply a metal band.

Iron Maiden has been my favorite band for many years. Led Zeppelin is OK, but I'm not a huge fan. They have some good songs, but nothing too special. Iron Maiden has done some of the greatest songs ever, for example Seventh Son of a Seventh Son and Alexander the Great.

^^ dear me, if ever there was an Apples & Pears thread, this has to be it... why don't you throw in Abba for a broader comparison??
 
I like both... but different moods...

Sorry for the Irons, but Bruce could never sing "Since I've been loving you"...
