    Which is better?

    Led Zeppelin

    vs.

    Pink Floyd


    I'm torn between the two.

    No question Floyd all the way............A few years ago the wife bought me the complete cd set of every song Floyd came out with....Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!

    I like Zep much better personally...

    I can't get into Floyd, but I love Zeppelin.

    I think that it depends on the mood. Both are good, but lately, Floyd's deep philosophical meaning behind their songs and albums, and the stories and messages behind them have drawn me closer to liking them.

    This is a tough choice, but I'm voting Zeppelin, only because I've been a fan of them for longer.

    Top 5 Songs:

    Zep - Ramble On, Stairway, Going to California, Over the Hills and Far Away, (Maybe) Immigrant song

    Zeppelin for me though I do like Pink Floyd and watching Dark Side of the Rainbow is insane....

    Floyd: Brain Damage, Comfortably Numb, Wish You Were Here, Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Money

    Tough choice. Both bands took rock to a new, more cerebral level.

    I have to give the nod to Zeppelin, but Pink Floyd is a close second.

    Zep is better but Floyd is very good!

    Here is my imitation of an A-hole:

    "WHAT? Are you insane? Clearly Led Zep is better on this Internetz poll! What are you smokin'? Don't you know that whatever I say is correct?"

    Seriously, I value everyone's opinion even though I may disagree. I just wanted to point out how ridiculous some freehuddlers are with their "facts"...which, in truth are only opinions.

    I think Floyd is deeper in their philosophical meanings, however Zeppelin had stories to their songs as well.

    Floyd's concept albums, as a whole, were probably better, since they stuck to a basic "story line." Zep had better rockers.

    Thank you

    Pink Floyd without a doubt.

    Come in here, dear boy, have a cigar.
    You're gonna go far, fly high,
    You're never gonna die, you're gonna make it if you try;they're gonna love you.

    Tough choice for me, but I had to go with Zeppelin.
  • gerb131
    Led for the head, although Floyd is pretty good too.
  • Teabagger
    Pink Floyd by a huge margin.
    Not tough for me at all.

    For BRF's benefit let me try this again; in my opinion no contest Floyd! :D

    I'm more a blues guy, so Zep. But, Floyd is in my top 5.
