Led Zeppelin vs Pink Floyd

[treeduck]

Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd seem to be the most popular bands on TRF as well as RUSH, but which is the most popular of the two? Which of them would you rather listen to?

[bluefox4000]

Floyd. i have a very love/hate Relationship with Zep.

 

Mick

[Na na na]

Zeppelin

[Mithrandir]

Zep by quite a bit.

 

Floyd is phenomenal and among the all time great rock bands, but Zep is on another level.

[ReRushed]

Led Zeppelin

[Nova Carmina]

Zep by quite a bit.

Yeah, what he said.

Floyd

This is hard. Zeppelin don’t have a record I love as much as Animals or Dark Side Of The Moon, but Floyd don’t have anything else I’ve heard to compare to Zoso, Physical Graffiti, and Zep II. I think generally I prefer Zeppelin but Floyd always have the potential to win me over on any given release.

[Babycat]

Led Zeppelin.

Not voting. Both bands too close to my heart.

That's right, Surfer wins.

 

That is, Floyd. You know what I'm saying.

 

[tangy]

Zeppelin for me.

 

Love both like most of you.

 

I vote for zep because of their impossible to describe misty vibe and they knew when to call it quits.

 

all zep rips up to and including coda. after the wall , i passed on floyd myself.

I love both bands. Impossible to choose. I flipped a coin. Floyd won.

 

For what it's worth, my "top tier" favorite bands are: Rush, King Crimson, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Yes, Porcupine Tree, Tool

 

(with Zappa, The Who, Kings X, Genesis, Opeth, Chili Peppers, Van Halen, Grateful Dead, Alice in Chains, Jethro Tull, and Peter Gabriel rounding out tier 2)

Floyd is great, but I prefer Zeppelin, because their music is much more rocking.

zep are just better songwriters

[chemistry1973]

Floyd.

 

I love Zep, but they get over their heads a few times. Sometimes it sounds like the song is too difficult for them to play. And Plant can’t turn the hollerin’ off. The band was incredible though.

 

Floyd struggle in the rhythm department. Mason just wasn’t that spectacular, but he fit in that band perfectly. Floyd felt no need to blast through anything. Laid back and solid. Great lyrics, and Gilmour/Waters was absolutely genius when in sync.

[JARG]

Floyd by far.

Right on the money! :clap:

 

Two interesting, powerhouse, godlike bands whose abilities are out of this world.

I went with Zeppelin I just prefer their music. I'm not that big on Pink Floyd really.

[treeduck]

I've always had an issue with Pink Floyd's vocals and vocal melodies in that there isn't much melody. They kind of remind me of Dire Straits, talking instead of singing for a lot of the time.

Floyd have very slow songs harmonically speaking. Even when the pulse is quicker the chords won’t change any faster than normal. I think Floyd aren’t guilty of talking in songs so much as just singing very slow and atmospheric melodies.

Too slow.
