ClashWho Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 I’ll take Townsend over Page, but I think Plant edges out Daltrey...and Boham might have Mooney best (real close though). No real thoughts on John v John, just than John also played the keys so that’s cool. Entwistle played all the brass parts on Who albums, from "Circles" on the USA version of My Generation to "One At a Time" on It's Hard and everything in between. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 I recently listened to some Who and was amazed by the greatness. I don't know why they left me cold before. I am sure in time they could become a bigger deal for me, but Led Zeppelin, for all their apparent faults, are just magic for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluefox4000 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Zeppelin. i respect the Who greatly........no denying their greatness or legend status. but i just prefer Zep. Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fridge Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Could never really work up a lot of enthusiasm for Zep, and their chaotic, random live performances could be awful. I always found the Who to be more structured, concise and far better storytellers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClashWho Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 I agree with you about Robert edging out Roger. Roger's voice can grate after a bit. It can be rough. Plant can get really obnoxiously whiney. He ruins stuff like "The Song Remains the Same." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluefox4000 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 i will say though. i always found the who better live. Zep got SOOOO over indulgent. with plant having a moan duel with Page's guitar. Mick 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 (edited) I agree with you about Robert edging out Roger. Roger's voice can grate after a bit. It can be rough. Plant can get really obnoxiously whiney. He ruins stuff like "The Song Remains the Same."His voice is annoying after awhile too. But it's more soothing than Roger's. Not everyone can sound like Greg Lake. Edited March 13, 2019 by Lorraine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He ruins stuff like "The Song Remains the Same."That album is problematic that way. They actually sped up the vocal tracks to get those notes, to the detriment of the songs, I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tangy Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Zeppelin are a top 5 band for me and probably the "coolest" band ever at their height. The whole package. Looks, talent,plentiful drugs and excellent timing.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek19 Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 I've voted for both because it's hard to choose between one over the other one. During an important time in the music industry, they both were around, and made an influential impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjbear05 Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 The Who, but not by much. Both great bands. I regret that I never saw Zep live and The Who only once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
