ive seen zep and ive seen floyd(without waters)

never forget it.
zepp? 75? never think about it

even though i havent heard everything pf has done they dont have robert plant singing. i dont care how tight your pants are or how high you can sing. i went through a phase of thinking zeppelin was the greatest rock band ever. but that was when i started to learn to play guitar. there is more to music then skill, there is also feeling. zeppelin has so little of that in my opinion. zeppelin is cock-rock. floyds music has something more then just high pitch singing and showy guitar solos. i put zeppelin in the same boat as van halen.
Yeah this was the same for me when i started drumming, i listened to alot of VH when i was 12- 14, then i thought how fuckin stupid it was. It had no feeling except "Let's party and look at girls" so i haven't listened to them in forever.
Anyway i'd choose Pink Floyd

Even though I prefer the Floyds I have to say that I prefer Led Zep to Pink Floyd (without Roger Waters) for the studio albums.
The concepts created mostly by Waters in Pink Floyd were incredible..
You just have to watch Live At Pompeii or to listen to Careful with that axe Eugene. They have something you won't find anywhere else. They involved classical themes into rock music.
A big respect for both bands though.
-"it's times like these you have to ask yourself, "what would mike mccready do"
Pink Floyd. Dogs is the greatest 17 minutes of music ever made.
hit the nail on the head...David Gilmour's guitar work on that song is simply amazing!
He's my favorite guitarist...he's just so much more melodic with his solos than say, Page, or Clapton. He know's when not to play a note, to give space...most guitar players (famous ones included) don't get that.
If it's rock'n' roll then for sure it hasto be Zepp! Floydd are fine, but more like some sort of art school/travelling muso band. As for the dissing of Robert Plant, well! You can piss off! Percy Plant is the most charasmatic frontman ever to saunter on to a stage, he isn't cliched-he set the standard by which the cliche runs-he is an innovator!. Even now, he continues to make new, relavant, good music-he doesn't hide away from his past completely, but he sure as hell does not rely on it to sell even 1 cd, or gig ticket-unlike Mr Waters et al. Those first 4 Zepplin albums must be in the top 20 of all time-fantastic stuff!
No. No Ditto! Zeppelin is not an interesting band. Zeppelin is can of cock. Pink Floyd is sort of okay. But it's not compelling.
Different strokes, mkay? Because I have really wierd musical taste. My friends like to show off "cool 70's bands, listen listen listen" and I find a lot of bland bland bland non-compelling rock bands. The point being, I get sick of classic rock after a while.
Believe me, I'm not here to hate on any bands just for shock value. If I wanted that, I would say Pearl Jam sucks.

Out of curiosity, who DO you find interesting?
Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V
Don't really like to have to choose between them because both have made important and relevant contributions to music and world psyche.
Love rocking out to Zep. Some days it's the perfect soundtrack.
But I'd have to say that Pink Floyd does maybe edge a little bit further forward as the front runner for me.
Probably my whole family being obsessed with them contributes to that.
But I have to wonder what my life would have been like if I'd never seen The Wall, if "fishbowl" was never written, and if the song that perfectly encapsulates my life to date, unComfortably Numb, had never been penned. Well, doesn't bare thinking about really.

You might want to work on your definition of mediocre. I'd hate to see the bands you think are bad.

See These Bones
Zeppelin's not the same since Bonham left the band, either!
Sorry, sick joke but I couldn't help myself.

My Reasons :
- Echoes
- Live at Pompeii
- Dogs
- Dark side of the moon
And the Waters and Gilmour solo albums are amazing too !
And all my respect for Zeppelin too -\m/ \m/-

I'd say Floyd but only by a head.
*~You're IT Bert!~*
Hold on to the thread
The currents will shift
Pick a genre.
I can't stand these need to be stoned to enjoy PF comments, if you don't get the brilliance of DSOM, echoes & WYWH without a spliff then I pity you.
I admit it was different the 1st time I tried it but Floyd stand up with drugs or not.
pf it´s just good for the vibe of their music,just that...
