Here Today... Gone To Hell!

I tried getting into Zep some months back and thought they were ok.

Bought 2 Pink Floyd albums last night and I am in love and inspired and seriously fucking moved beyond words.



so who ya got

zep or Floyd?

zep.

Pink Floyd is inconic in there poetry and good stoner music non the less HOWEVER i feel that Led Zeppelin has them beet by far


:peace:

Led Zep.

pink floyd have some great guitar solos.

but led zeppelin for me, they rock more and have more energy to there songs...i personally, can listen to that more often. i have to be in the right frame of mind for floyd.

Zeppelin.

The Floyd!, all the way.

Which albums did you pick up D?

Pink Floyd

Wish You Were Here, Dark Side OF The Moon, Animals, The Wall, Meddle, A Momentary Lapse of Reason                        All of there albums are brilliant in my opinion  : ok:

Stairway to Heaven > Wish you were here


Led Zeppelin IV > Dark side of the moon


:peace:

meh.

Never really liked either band a whole lot...

I got Dark Side of the moon (who in the hell doesn't) and echoes

Zep... they are cool

I haven't heard all their material, just the hits...

going from the hits, I like Floyd better

The Zeppelin for me.

I only know Floyd's more well-known songs (Comfortably Numb, See Emily Play, Money etc.) whereas I've got all of LZ's albums. Perhaps Pink Floyd are too sophisticated for someone like me ;D

However, I like The Nile Song by Floyd. It's on the album Music From The Film More and it's fairly heavy for them.

Also, Floyd have awesome album covers :D

Tough call, but Zep IMO.

floyd

Pink Floyd for me, but these are two very diferent bands. I admit Floyd has a lot more nonsense songs than Zep. :hihi:

The mighty Led Zep

Since it's like comparing apples and oranges, and it all comes down to opinion, it's not exactly a "fair" thread, but it is really kind of cool to see who everyone around here favors.  They both have a lot to offer...

so if there's one record i just have to check out from PF.. which is is the album? or you can say 2

I'd go with "The Wall," but I'm sure there are plenty of "Dark Side of the Moon" fans out there...

^ This guy is completely off the mark!

... At least as far as The Wall goes. Your biggest mistake would be to look at either of those two albums, with a view that they're the best that the band had to offer

(though I'm not necesarily saying that was not the case with the latter...).

My advice would be to look past those two albums to begin with. I guess it depends what Floyd you're after... If it's the trippy psychedelic rock along the lines of See Emily Play with Lucifer Sam and all the like, then your only choice is Piper at the Gates of Dawn. Err. A fantastic album!, but not necesarily a great Pink Floyd album.

... Well, it was. But, err, looking at the career as a whole, it wasn't. Though it remains one of my top five. Err.

I'm not sure actually.

... Wait!!, I just reread your question. I thought that it was one to start off with. Bollocks to this post then, maybe DSotM is the album that you have to hear.

Actually. Animals. Definitely, Animals.

... Which also means that I should apologise to bazgnr for saying he was off the mark, because I guess he wasn't that far off it after all. Despite the fact that The Wall < Wish You Were Here, Piper at the Gates of Dawn, Dark Side of the Moon, Animals... And so on. Plus, I just noticed the Gob and Franklin avatar!, nice work.

I didn't read the original question as to what was the *best* album, only a good one to start off with (if that makes sense).   Anyone more well-versed in Floyd than I am - and believe me, that wouldn't take much - would have a much better take on it.

And while I appreciate the A.D. nod, no apology necessary.    :beer:

Pink Floyd is the only band that can claim they recorded a perfect album.

With that said, I would take Zeppelin 9 times out of 10.

Love both bands.  :peace:

what album? :)

Are you serious?

are you being a dick?

That would be you if you didn't know what album he was talking about....

holy cow!


   I think this tough as hell to answer because both bands are very different. Depends what you like I guess. Zep was the ultimate "rock band" with rock stars as we see them today. The guys in Floyd were always more out of the spotlight and sort of more "artistic" I guess. Really hard to say who is better.

Their shows are so different. Floyd with their visual ideas. Zepplin with Bonzo/Moby Dick and jamming... you never heard of Floyd jamming 30 minutes of Have a Cigar...

I've seen Floyd (without Roger) and I guess no one has seen Zepplin with Bonzo on this web-site...

Who is better U2 vs Guns??? flame away but it's tough to say because they are so different.

Motley vs Guns, ok. You can try to compare (Guns win hands down) but you get my drift, they are somewhat similar.

Take both's most popular albums DSOTM or LZ IV or maybe The wall with Physical Grafitti (only because both are Dbl albums and released close to the end of both bands career). Tough Call...

How can you compare these 4 albums? That's why most top lists suck, it's fuckin' hard.

Pink Floyd just rock on a whole other level to Zeppelin who are also rock gods but its the Floyd for me

Zep
both are good

but zep is more universal and timeless. They don't sing about how the society at the time and place suck.

when I hear no quarter, I see a wet forest, dark night and a moon. their music is picturesque.

anyhoo nice to know d can dig a foreign band. :peace:

  I adore Led Zepp, but Pink Floyd are in a league of their own, nobody can touch them, NOBODY ! Not The Zep, not Guns N' Roses, not The Beatles.
   As far as hits go, Queen can offer some competiton, but listening to a Floyd album from start to finish is a surreal experience...

how would someone compare zep with floyd?  2 WAY different styles

Zeppelin takes it for me.  Like someone else said previously, you need to be in the right frame of mind for Pink Floyd.  Zep you can throw in at any time and rock the F out.  Sometimes Floyd will just put you to sleep.

I'm not the most appropriate person to give a serious opinion on that, as Pink Floyd is my favourite band ever, but as far as opinion goes I've never heard of a band that released 4 perfect albums in a row like that:

1973 - Dark Side of the Moon

1975 - Wish You Were Here

1977 - Animals

1979 - The Wall

Led Zep is excellent but Pink Floyd are on a league of their own. Nothing matches Pink Floyd and they did jam a lot back in the early days.

Zep all the way.  although Pink are good. 

P.S. Perfect album?! Please get real! No such thing in the pop world.

I got myself DSITM, TW and WYWH so i'm gonna try to get into pink floyd  :)

Buy Animals tomorrow, and forget about everything you've heard before!

Possibly the toughest question ever

Luckily they are so different from each other, that no one can really say for sure

I'd give a slight edge to Floyd myself - not a knock on Zep, but Floyd is just incredible in every aspect
