It's sad. Almost all of my favorite music comes from across the Pond...

I knew that the credit for metal was from England. This is what happens when you live around Empires, Monarchies, Socialists, and Fascists. Sometimes at the same time too. I lean towards Floyd. Led is very close though.

Based on Live shows. Pink Floyd.
Based on the music itself. Pink Floyd
Based on influence on the future of music. Tie.

Which era of Floyd? You'd have to agree that the Syd and Gilmour eras are vastly different. And even the post Waters era is different than the Gilmour/Waters era.

I'll take floyd over Zep though for Shine On You Crazy Diamond alone.

Blame? I sense negative undertones as relates to the metal genre...

I will kill you without hesitation.

As far as the thread, my vote goes to Floyd, as I simply prefer prog-rock.

The music of the bands are so different that I can't compare the 2. I do prefer Floyd over Zeppelin most of the time but IMO that's like saying I prefer the Lynerd Skynerd over The Who. It's like comparing Granny Smith to Fuji apples. Same fruit, way different flavors.

Yeah, but its obviously granny smith.

VERY good post, and one that I considered making myself.

I like the Barrett-led Floyd hands down. No contest.

i tend to fall somwhere in the middle w/ floyd....my favorites albums tend to be after syd and before roger waters' ego took over (the wall, final cut)...i loved animals, meddle, atom heart mother....

zeppelin is also a band w/ some very distinct sections...the first few albums, very heavy blues, but towards the end w/ presence, in through the out door, etc, you almost have a band leaning towards progressive rock....

i don't know though, floyd's astronomy domine is one of my all-time favorites..

Bob Dole was kidding. Bob Dole used to enjoy metal, but pretty much lost interest when the speed metal craze took over. Bob Dole's taste these days can't really be nailed down to any specific genres, though. Bob Dole either likes something or he doesn't.

As far as Zep vs. PF...Bob Dole got tired of both quite awhile ago. (And that's not meant to discount their contribution to music or those that still listen to them.)

That's probably the best way to go about things, imo.

Variety is the way to go. It it is good then listen to it. If it is not good then do not listen.

What is your criteria for determining "better"?

What do you want to compare? "Achillies Last Stand" vs. "San Tropez"? Maybe "The Bridge" vs. "Echoes"?

Realistically, you could spend days comparing "Dazed and Confused" to "In the Evening" or "Astronomie Domine" to "Young Lust"....and still be no closer to an answer.

redfan · 01-16-2006, 08:42 AM

Apples 2 oranges. "Better"?

Gaz · 01-16-2006, 09:41 AM

I prefer Pink Floyd to Led Zeppelin.

I also like what I like. Some of it is rock, some is country, some is pop, some is new age, some is pretty eclectic [I am quite fond of an a capella rendition of Pachelbel’s Canon in D and a reggae version of "Dark Side of the Moon"]. In fact, rap/hip-hop is the only genre I simply cannot get into.
