Queen II VS Led Zeppelin IV

Lizzy wrote: Queen II by a landslide. It's something like... cake or death? Seriously, I'm looking at the LZ IV CD as I type, and there's no way anything could make me take it out of the shelf and actually  play it. I do appreciate Led Zep's master musicianship, don't get me wrong - all right I'm not exactly a fan of Percy's vocals, but I just cannot get into them. Queen II on the other hand, is not only the crown jewel of possiby the best band ever, but a true masterpiece of prog, because that's what we're discussing here.

Agreed completely except for the bold part.

Zep IV, by far...

Zoso vs. A Night at the Opera would have been more interesting. fourth release from each group...both with that pretty huge song

I am a huge Queen fan and like virtually everything they've made (including the Flash Gordon album); Queen II would be an obvious choice here, were it not, that I am not familiar with Led Zeppelin

Untitled is so overated like all zeppelin

I am with you, I LOVE Queen 2!  Queen and Genesis are my all time favorite bands, depending on when you ask me I'll either tell you that Queen is my favorite band, or Genesis is my fave.  Right now it's Queen!  Anyway, I am a HUGE Queen fan and a causal fan and great admirer of Led Zep.  I greatly appreciate what Zep did as a band and I would say that overall they were a better band than Queen.  The older that I get the deeper my appreciation of Robert Plant's vocals, in Zep, grows.  They were all amazing musicians.  After the Beatles I would list Zep as the greatest rock band ever.  That being said Queen appeals to me so much more and deeper than Zep.  Queen 2 is my second favorite Queen cd, after Sheer Heart Attack.  Is it a better cd than Zep 4?  Probably not, but it speaks to me on so many different levels. As good Zep 4 may be I prefer Houses of The Holy, but that's a whole other poll! 

I'd rather suck a shotgun shell than pick. Mainly because I openly dislike Queen, and I openly despise Zep. Well, Queen pisses me off less than Zep, so I'll vote Queen II.

Wait, no, I'll vote for IV, for the sake of being postmodern.

just imagine it WITHOUT stairway..it would be an alnum worse than LZII and it wouldn't be that popular..so..yes it is overrated..

Queen II by miles away!! Personally, my favourite LZ album is III.

2 great albums, probobly the best by each band, it's hard to vote but i think IV have been a bit more important for my musical jerney. Its allso intresting that both albums was the first i bough by each band maybe thats why i like em so much. But overal i like Zeppelin much more then Queen, so that may allso be a reason to vote for em.
