I think Zep are unquestionably a greater band than Rush.

 

 

 

I question your use of "unquestionably".

Also, in what sense of "greater" do you mean? More popular? More widely recognized? Better music?

As a whole, a stronger catalog, and a more enduring legacy?

I was thinking a little wider around the hips...;)

Well Rush's debut was a Zep ripoff but after that they found their own sound.Zep were and still are one of faves but as Zep were descending (or going through the outdoor)Rush were ascending .Although I don't mind In Through The Outdoor it sounds stodgy next to Hemispheres which I bought at the same time. I'll never forget my late brother in laws face(a Zep fanatic) when he heard ATWAS saying it s**ts on The Song Remains The Same(now there's an idea for a thread/poll).Although some Rush fans will never get over Geddy finding synths and writing shorter pop toons I think Rush were technically better but lacked the mystique and power of Zep.Zep had a blonde demigod Viking frontman,Satan worshipping guitarist,hell raising powerhouse drummer and ,err,the quiet one. Rush had a big nose shrieking chipmunk playing widdly bass and likes baseball,a wisecracking guitarist who plays golf and flies planes and a reclusive drummer who reads and writes books.No contest ,Culture Club wins.

They're modestly better than Zep. If they weren't so modest about it people would question their Canadian heritage, :LOL:

I've taken flak for this but its been my honest opinion for many years and that is I don't mind the songwriting per se but many Led Zep songs are marred by poor/lackluster sounding production. So many of their most famous songs sound like they were recorded in someone's basement with a cheap condenser mic

And also the sloppyness of Page's guitar playing. Its like they would do one take only and say "f**k it, that's good enough". His solo at the end of Heartbreaker is the best example, those flubbed notes stick out like a sore thumb.
