Voted initialy for The Who Sell Out. Two great songs as (live!) decor aswell
1969 (audio only, because I cant find Youtube clip with a footage from the time, or even close, when the Zep debut was released!)
1968

Any reason why these two albums? ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Snow_Dog" rel="nofollow">

Those were released almost in the same year, both great, both made by English bands who are in PA' Proto Prog Prog Related section, that's all.
PS BTW, I get an idea to post a few Zep vs Who albums polls because I saw many polls Who vs Zep as the bands polls, I never saw the albums battle

Almost in the same year? Like one was 1967 and the other 1867?  ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Snow_Dog" rel="nofollow">

If it were the bands, The Who every time. But Led Zep I is still an utter classic, whilst Sell Out wasn't that at the time of release.

Zep in this case.
The Who have the odd great album eg Who's Next and some very average ones, Face Dances.... |

Led Zeppelin's 60s era is golden, Who's 60s era not so much although still decent and with the ocassional stunner.
However, when it comes to the 70s The Who beats Zeppelin in almost every case for me.

The first Led Zeppelin album is in my top 70. The Who Sell Out is in my top 50. ------------- "History of Rock Written by the Losers." |

The Who all the way. The Who Sell Out is an amazing conceptual record, full of originality. That cannot be said about the Zep. Led Zeppelin I is plagued with plagiarism.

Honestly, I've never been too crazy about either band's late 60s output (with the exception of The Who's "Tommy"), but Led Zep I is a much heavier and solid record, especially for a debut. -------------

While I voted for LZ this time because this album was one of the best of all time and my personal favorite of all of their albums and The Who Sell Out is not so much, there are other Who albums I put above all of Zep's such as Who's Next and Quadraphenia. The song writing depth on those two is tremendous. -------------

The fact it is a debut album doesn't mean anything when is common knowledge that about 70% of that album was not written by the band. ------------- "Wear the grudge like a crown of negativity.
