Led Zeppelin vs. The Who

RMadd · 02-14-2005, 01:53 AM

alright, this is pretty straightforward, inspired by a couple "votes" for the latter band in the LZ/Beatles poll thread. who's better?

RMadd · 02-14-2005, 01:54 AM

For my vote, give me Led Zeppelin any day!

This is a bit tougher than zep and the beatles but zep still comes out on top. the who were brillant though as eddie vedder saids "pete you're still the best".

this one actually made me think
for like
two seconds
now, keeping mind the who are pretty damn cool, and pretty damned good, LZ owns just about everybody out there.

I'm probably the only person on the board who'll vote for The Who. Just grew up with them, listened to them much more than I did Zeppelin, so I've gotta go with Pete, Keith, Roger and John.

keith was just a crazy drummer hit those skins at a furious pace and he lived just as fast standing up. they're bringing out a new studio album....

The Who....hell yeah...it was a very tough one...but yeah.

The Who without a thought. Better lyrics, better drummer, better singer, better bassist, and, yes, better guitarist imo. I take nothing away from LZ though. I love Zep. I was listening to III and II a lot last week. Still, The Who I love.

I'll agree on lyrics and bassist, but dayum, I have to go with Plant on vocals, just by how his voice touched me. I don't know, he just does it for me more than Daltrey ever did. Guitarist is hard to pick, I admit, and I'd say they are pretty close. Zep's music just made me feel more than The Who's, but they are both kick-ass bands. I still love Zep more, though

Yeah, I mean Zep are great. But sometimes Plant's voice can get annoying. For example, in a live setting. Pete just speaks to me more with his lyrics and his guitar work/ability. They really get to me.

I think Plant is certainly a more influential vocalist although sometimes he can be annoying. Page is easily better than Townsend although Pete is a legend and he is hugely influential.

SmilinSkullRing · 02-24-2005, 04:40 PM

Page might be more influential but that doesn't mean a thing. Roger is just as good from a different perspective.

Page actually isn't easily better than Townshend.

I'm sure you know I meant to type Plant the first time and not Page.

Plant sings like a girl while being a man, so yeah, he's got more range. lol Townshend was probably the second biggest influence on Jimi Hendrix's guitar playing after Eric Clapton. Doesn't make him better than Page, but I thought I would throw that out there.

Townshend I think knows how to build up what he's doing more. Page is great, but I'll take Townshend anyday. He's got rhythm playing that can take on leading playing like no one else.

Definitely Zeppelin. Better Guitarist, best drummer of possibly EVER, better singer, and like I always say:

Who cares about the bass anyway?
