    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.

    Ok...shitty songwriting? Do you even understand what their songs are about?

    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).

    I strongly agree with you. Led Zeppelin is a lot better than Rolling Stones.

    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.
