Black Sabbath for me. They were much more varied than people might think: Heavy "Hendrix-like" blues --> Black Sabbath. Heavy Metal --> Paranoid, Master Of Reality, Vol. 4. Hard Rock with Prog- and Art-Rock Elements --> Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, Sabotage, Technical Ecstasy, and finally.... total crap --> Never Say Die hahaha!!

Funny, it's kind of the reverse for me. Like "Stairway to Heaven"...I never saw why that song was so great. Kashmir is amazing, though.
I love Sabbath's Doom Metal elements. Their title track is just legendary, and every bit as effective, I think, as when it debuted.

Hi everybody!
My vote goes to Led Zeppelin, cause they
show a broader range of styles.

Sabbath. They had a jazz influence which gives them that cool swing. Zeppelin seem a bit rock n roll influenced which makes them less of a prog band. I also prefer Ozzy's voice over Plant and Iommi's guitar over Page. Zeps sound more outdated to me

Black Sabbath gives me goose bumps like only few bands/artists does, i adore just about everything they did in the 70's, and i might be the only one here that thinks their last couple of albums (in the 70's) are brilliant.

zep for me; they were crude most of the time, but could be subtle too. Sabbath and subtle dont go.

^ Not true Sabbath had a lot of subtle moments, beautiful stuff. But Zep had much more acoustic songs and sound.

I cant believe that BS are not winning... I thought on this site people would appreciate the uniqueness of Never say die or Sabotage (LZ have never reached such high peaks IMO)

not an expert on Sabbath but I suspect this is meant to be ironic.
For me Sabbath were actually a more unique band much more in keeping with their origins (Birmingham/Industrial). Always considered Bill Ward a very underrated drummer.
Zep did what Floyd did to some extent - reinvent Blues and crack America big time. I always feel its a bit 'second hand' as a result. That said Zep developed some more interesting ideas as time went on than Sabbath who just got stuck in a rut and died a bit of a death (until the Ronnie James Dio era to be fair)
I went for the both option but neither threaten my top ten fave bands.

The Zeps have a lot in their arsenal: 'Dazed and Confused', 'Whole Lotta Love', 'The Immigrant Song', the stairs, my personal favorite - the album "Houses of the Holy", 'In My Time of Dying', 'Ten Years Gone', ... . What does Sabbath have? 'Iron Man'? 'Paranoid'? My ears say they are dead to me. Besides, I find Jimmy's riffs more melodic, more ... alive than Tony's.

I like LZ kind of. Not a big fan but they're decent.
Sabbath on the other hand is bloody great, so easy choice for me

I might even have thought differently about this poll had Sabbath Bloody Sabbath not come along. Sabbath changed with that album. Some hardcore Sabbath fans will tell you that's where you get off with Sabbath but that's actually where they became gritty, not just scary in a sort of amusing way. They carried on with this in Sabotage and regained that edge much later with Dio in Dehumanizer. For that reason, I always felt their music was more powerful to me than Led Zeppelin's. Or Deep Purple for that matter. It took Sabbath some time but they eventually went beyond just rocking out and tried to emulate The Who.

Tough one, but I think LZ was far more accomplished and certainly more varied in their approach. They have some awesome headbanging songs, but they also have some of the most beautiful acoustic tunes in the history of rock. I think it's that excellent juxtaposition of acoustic and electric that sets Zeppelin apart from the majority of rock bands.
That being said, I think Geezer Butler is a better bass player than John Paul Jones, and I like Bill Ward's drumming almost as much as John Bonham's (although the bone crunching play of Bonham is extraordinary).

Well I I can't believe how close it is, I was sure that Zeppelin would have around 80% of the votes. The live version of ''Since I've Been Loving You'' is one of the best thing I ever heard.
