    Music just doesn't get any better than "Sympathy For The Devil" and "Give Me Shelter". Plus The Stones did record my favorite album of all time, "Sticky Fingers".

    the Stones were way better songwriters. Songwriting, in my opinion, does much more to make music affective than virtuoso musicianship. For example, Umphrey's McGee puts on a good live show, and are incredible musicians, but none of their songs can move me like, In Hiding, for example. I like them alot, but would never place them on Pearl Jam's level. Pearl Jam are not virtuosos, but they are incredible song writers. Same with the Stones. Zeppelin could shred the Stones under the table, but Zeppelin never wrote anything as gorgeous as "Wild Horses." Besides, as much as I like Zeppelin, they did rip alot of people off...

    Wild Horses is good, but...

    The Rain Song is pretty fucking gorgeous if you ask me.

    Quoted for truth!

    Wild Horses is one of the most beautiful songs ever written and I would take it over anything in the Led Zeppelin catalog.

    Once again, The Rain Song.

    Underrated fucking tune. Beautiful. Incredible.

    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.

    The stones did have some great material and produced some good albums. There is filler on some . "you gotta move" I would class as filler on Sticky fingers.

    "Their Satanic Majesties Request" was a major letdown for me.

    Having not grown up in 60's I always wondered how intense it must have felt to have heard "Dazed and Confused" for the first time.

    I would give it to Zeppelin but I have only up to Physical graffiti in their catolgue

    In My Humble Opinion it's not even close...

    Zeppelin by a country mile!!!

    The Stones. I've never known big love for Zep, off this board.

    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?

    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.

    Since the Stones wrote their own music, I'll give them the lead :)

    It took them 4 decades to create a catolog that would compete with the handful of years Zep were together!

    I'd say Led Zep but that's probably becuase I enjoy hard rock more than classic rock, if these bands can even be defined by those terms.

    Can't beat Sympathy for the Devil though.
