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

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.

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...

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.

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
