Texas King Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 What you say on this clash? For me it's LZ I, and it's not even close at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluefox4000 Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 (edited) Zep Rush's always sounded like a cheap knock off. Mick Edited December 8, 2016 by bluefox4000 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbobby10 Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Led Zeppelin 1 to me was one of the best albums ever made, Rush's debut is mediocre, not bad, but not great 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carvan Alex Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Led Zeppelin I wins in this poll, period. Rush's debut album has become forgotten...and for good reason. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Led Zep I. I agree. No contest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Led Zep I for sure. No comparison between the two. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 RUSH for me. Zep's debut is a big yawner to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Funny how Rush's debut is criticized for showing the Zep influence, but Led Zep's debut is filled with outright theft Actually, not funny, esp to the struggling and unknown musicians Page stole from, uncredited until they won the lawsuits Be that as it may, the Rush debut is much more exciting and fun for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 (edited) I someone wants to post what they think is Rush ripping of Led Zeppelin, we'll compare the "rip of factor" to this As of 2016 it is now widely recognized that Holmes is the author of the song.... Page, while on tour with the Yardbirds in 1967, saw Holmes perform the song in Greenwich Village. Within months, he had adapted the song for that group, and later, for Led Zeppelin. Page claimed sole songwriting credit for the song when it appeared on Led Zeppelin's debut album. Holmes later sent Page a letter about the songwriting credits but received no reply.[14] In June 2010, Holmes filed a lawsuit against Jimmy Page for copyright infringement in United States District Court, claiming Page knowingly copied his work.[15] November 2012's release of Celebration Day (The Led Zeppelin Reunion Show at the O2) credits "Dazed and Confused" as written by Jimmy Page (inspired by Jake Holmes). On the CD and vinyl re-releases of the debut album in June 2014, the songwriting credits on the CD or vinyl state "Dazed and Confused"; Page – inspired by Jake Holmes. There are no songwriting credits on the vinyl sleeve or CD jewel case.[16] Edited December 8, 2016 by Lucas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Led Zeppelin is great. It sounds like a diverse and wonderful album. Yes, lots of influences. You can pinpoint tonnes of borrowed bits and pieces. But with Rush they don't sound inspired by lots of things. They sound like Led Zeppelin fan boys. Also...I absolutely adore LZ1. The debut Rush album is fun but it's like a high school drama team production of a stage play, not the real thing. And Led Zeppelin took their influences and made something truly incredible. Rush took one influence and made a Led Zeppelin tribute album. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Also had Led Zeppelin flopped no one would care that they "stole" stuff from other artists. But because they made it big everyone makes a stink about it. But it was a first time effort by a band that had less than two days to record and it is absolutely amazing! I have yet to hear a single song they allegedly ripped off that is better than the LZ song. You can't knock down LZ1 for being a knock off and then praise Rush for being underrated. If that debut Rush album was as big and popular as LZ1 the same rules would apply. Thankfully we got Fly By Night after Rush and things became way more interesting! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 (edited) Also LZ1 is one of the most thrilling albums of all time. I have been addicted to it recently and it's my number one LZ album. It's just a massive explosion of riffs and crazy energy and it's all shade of AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH YEAAAAAAAAH BOI! The debut Rush album is boring. And I found it boring before I even connected that sound to Led Zeppelin. If Led Zeppelin never existed and the debut Rush album took the place of LZ1, in all honesty I doubt it would have made much of an impact.

TheAccountant Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 I prefer the best song on Rush (Working Man) to anything on Led Zeppelin. After that however, Led Zeppelin 1 is consistently better than anything else on Rush. Voted for Led Zeppelin 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
