I'm gonna take Zeppelin but it's close. The Stones may not have as flashy playing ability but damn they have some good tunes. And they're still making music 300 years later! I don't feel the Zeppelin Sabbath matchup is better. Sabbath were metal pioneers but their catalog isn't very diverse.

A.) Yep. All the truely huge Zep fans know Jimmy PaIge did the singing.
B.) Ian Stewart (played with both zep and the stones... Sandy Denny.... Zep brought people in as well, although not to the same extent.
C.) I pick Zeppelin, because i like them better... but get your facts straight people.
XDD yeesh, I must've been drunk Robert Plant is the lead singer!
I used to think that Zeppelin was better, but I find the older I get, the more I prefer The Stones. Robert Plant's shitty fucking lyrics and "Oh Babys" are sounding pretty cringe worthy to me these days. Zeppelin are better virtuoso players than the Stones but The Stones are better songwriters than Zeppelin. I always thought when Guns N' Roses came out with "Appetite For Destruction" it was the perfect mix of The Stones and Zeppelin.
Ok...shitty songwriting? Do you even understand what their songs are about?
Rolling Stones are the best Rock band, period. Zepplin might have become that, however, they weren't around long to. As far as innovative gies, maybe the Stones weren't as innovative as Zepplin, give you that, but just pure raw, rock n' roll, it's hard to beat them. Richards wrote some killer riffs in his day. I do think these 2 bands are the best to come out, way better than the Beatles.
In my humble opinion,the Stones are classic Rock N Roll, Zep is more hard rock. As a whole, I'll take Zep by a curly. The tougher question is: Richards vs Paige......that is a tough one for me.

It took them 4 decades to create a catolog that would compete with the handful of years Zep were together!
I'll take Zeppelin by a mile. But this isn't a fair fight, for me, because I think the Stones are fucking godawful. This could pretty much be ______ vs Stones, and I'd probably end up picking ________ 8 out of 10 times.

Many people are going on about how innovative Zeppelin were and they were virtuosos but didn't they blatantly steal other people's material and call it their own without giving proper credit? That being said I still like Zeppelin but they are being giving far too much credit over the Stones.
The Stones, for me, is where it's at! When I first listened to Sticky Fingers, it changed my life and made me a fan for life. Some people say they haven't made a decent album in years but their latest one, A Bigger Bang is pretty damn good. With the Stones it was never about playing as many notes as perfectly as possible. It was about writing great songs and wringing as much emotion out of fewer notes.
well, i like Led Zeppelin wayyyyy better but why not compare Black Sabbath vs Led Zeppelin? that's a far greater battle.
Easily choose Zeppelin over Stones. Only songs by the Stones I ever liked were Gimme Shelter and Sympathy for the Devil. Making someone choose between Zeppelin and Sabbath is just inhuman and unkind. Nevertheless, I will give Sabbath a slight edge. In many ways, I always thought Tony Iommi was a better guitarist than Jimmy Page (Ducking quickly!). Also, all of Sabbath's music was original. Page ripped off a lot blues tunes (standing behind wall waiting for flaming arrows). He did transform a lot of those songs into pretty amazing pieces.

I said Zeppelin songs have shitty lyrics. I'm a big Zeppelin fan but Robert Plant's lyrics are utter shit for the most part. Mick and Keith kick Plants ass when it comes to writing lyrics.

Yes, but most of that is the VERY early zeppelin stuff... Dazed, Parts of whole lotta love, and the blues covers like i cant quit you baby and you shook me... much of the rest of their most diverse songs...Levee, SIBLY, IMTOD, Rain Song, Stairway, Achilles, Thats the way, In the Evening, etc are not ripped off...
Saying zeppelin ripped off songs is kinda cliche at this point... they were young kids and on their first album they did some stealing of barely known songs (for which they apologized later on)... but the bulk of their career was creating a large diverse catalog of self-penned songs.

Not sure Page was that much of a kid, experience-wise. He'd been London's most sought-after session guitarist, since about 1964. He'd even recorded muzak sessions! He knew everyone's chops, backwards. After duelling with Jeff Beck, he was a bit of a veteran by 1968, with a working insider's knowledge of various forms of music, from the blues to British folk ( a la Davy Graham and Bert Jansch).

The Stones are Bugs Bunny when he is himself, and Zep is Bugs Bunny when he is girl bunny......I HAVEN'T A CLUE WHAT THE I MEAN, BUT IT IS AS INCOHERENT AS YOUR quoteD STATEMENT!!!!

Well Keith won the drug/alcohol war over Bonham. So Stones by a nose.
Plus Mick's Rooster is the greatest rock and roll strut of all time.
Seriously though, I've always liked the Stones catalogue more than Zepp's.
