Texas King Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 (edited) What you will say on this one?I think Led Zeppelin is a superior band, Rush can come close to them, but they can never surpass them. I think these 4 LZ albums: Led Zeppelin I, II, IV and Physical Graffiti beat any Rush 70's or 80's album.

Lorraine Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 (edited) Led Zep didn't last very long. Was it twelve years? Rush lasted forty years. Some here will say this isn't a fair poll. Me, I couldn't put them in the same category. Led Zep were giants. Too big to personalize. Rush stands alone and has a way of capturing your heart. I agree with you though that Rush cannot surpass LZ. Edited November 18, 2016 by Lorraine 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ancient Ways Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 I can't pick in a poll like this. I love rush more than any other band but I can't deny th greatness of zep. It's not their fault they only lasted until 1980. Had bonham lived who knows how long they may have gone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djflex Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Rush by a landslide! I dont even listen to zep really 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Rush by a light year. Led Zep was great but they weren't around long enough. Rush wins by sheer volume of awesome music. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Union 5-3992 Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 I would pick Rush even if we put only their 70's music against each other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Led Zeppelin never did anything that can come close to the intensity of Cygnus X1 But had they had more time, I'm sure Jimmy Page would have eventually stolen it Rush 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigbobby10 Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 I think Led Zeppelins debut album is one of the best albums of all time, I can't say that for any others really (maybe IV?). Rush has a lot of better albums in my opinion and lasted a lot longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluefox4000 Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 (edited) It's really tough.......only in the sense that i don't listen to much of either anymore. though i do have houses of the Holy spinning now. but if i have to choose and i'm going to listen to one..........Rush. more music way more diverse a band. Zeppelin has about 2 albums i just love. and would take anywhere with me rush has about 8. not close reallly. and not fair. Zep burned out as a band pretty fast. and couldn't be helped cause........Bonham Mick Edited November 19, 2016 by bluefox4000 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's it. I actually agree with your list with one possible exception. Kashmir is not thought well of on TRF by many, but I love it. I'm just trying to figure out if I love it more than The Weapon. Edit: Make that two exceptions. I think PeW is a better album than LZIV. Edited November 19, 2016 by Lorraine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one thinks their music is better than their idols. I love Signals. Took me a lot of years, and if you'd asked me in the late 80s which I had preferred I might have slightly edged towards PG.
