Who is better: Pink Floyd or Led Zeppelin?

[D]

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?

[TAP]

zep.

[GNRreunioneventually]

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

[Genesis]

Led Zep.

[mrlee]

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.

[bazgnr]

Zeppelin.

[Jim]

The Floyd!, all the way.

Which albums did you pick up D?

[novemberparadise23]

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 

[GNRreunioneventually]

Stairway to Heaven > Wish you were here


Led Zeppelin IV > Dark side of the moon

[Thorned Rose]

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

[BlowUpYourVideo]

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

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

[Dr. Blutarsky]

Tough call, but Zep IMO.

[DeN]

floyd

[norway]

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

[axlrosegnr]

The mighty Led Zep

[bazgnr]

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.

[Jim]

... 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.
