The Who or Zeppelin?

Intergalacti...	Date: March 5, 2005 @ 3:03 PM Two of the biggest bands of their time. They each contributed a huge amount to the growth and expanding R'n'B/rock genre. Who do you prefer? Personally I prefer the Who. I'm not tryin to cause a great riff between the site just wonderin who people like?
pog	Date: March 5, 2005 @ 3:06 PM The who were pretty amazing, but my cards are on Led Zep
sinai	Date: March 5, 2005 @ 3:07 PM ladies and gentlemen...the "Showing Your Age" thread
Droquen	Date: March 5, 2005 @ 3:55 PM ZEPPELIN RULES And are therefore better than The Who
Cryxan	Date: March 5, 2005 @ 4:15 PM My vote goes to The Who. LOL sinai!
Intergalacti...	Date: March 6, 2005 @ 5:09 AM Showin our age? I'm 16
BlackMage	Date: March 6, 2005 @ 5:43 AM Sinai I can't really say. Only heard one song from Zep and not one from The Who.
Intergalacti...	Date: March 6, 2005 @ 3:16 PM Well you've missed out on something both major ass awesomely awesome bands
Distilled1	Date: March 6, 2005 @ 5:11 PM Zepplin, the who was more mod in IMHO I love both but Zepplin really was the hammer of the Gods
wailingmiserere	Date: March 9, 2005 @ 1:55 PM Got to be Zeppelin I think... a bit more experimental in their songwriting approach, with one of the greatest guitarists and THE sexiest frontman in the history of music.
kingo	Date: March 9, 2005 @ 1:58 PM How has anyone anywhere not heard a song by The Who? Cripes.

leplume	Date: March 9, 2005 @ 8:01 PM Being ancient....I love the Who...oy, I think my pacemaker is missing a beat....
hueseph	Date: March 10, 2005 @ 3:55 AM If you're talking strictly influence, I have to go with Zeppelin. I love the who but Zeppelin just crossed so many genres and really introduced delta blues into Rock and Roll. Even moreso than Cream I'd say. The Who had a tendancy to work around theme. Tommy! is amazing. Two of the greates bassists in Rock. Two of the greatest guitarists of rock. Two of the greatest alchoholics....I mean drummers in rock. Maybe I should say THE two greatest drummers in Rock.
MindSculpture	Date: March 10, 2005 @ 7:46 AM Zep - no contest
Bhairava	Date: March 10, 2005 @ 12:39 PM Led Zep no doubt. They were so incredible. I didn't think one band could have so many amazing songs. I would put most of the genious of the band down to Jimmy though. They were all great musicians of course and all great in their own right and it probably wouldn't work with any other people. Band chemistry is a complex thing. The who also had a big effect too though I wouldn't say as much as Zep.
Angerball	Date: March 10, 2005 @ 4:40 PM Led Zeppelin
gothian	Date: March 10, 2005 @ 5:07 PM THE WHO !!!!!
Cowboy666	Date: March 10, 2005 @ 5:19 PM Led Who?
Intergalacti...	Date: March 11, 2005 @ 7:17 PM Everyones heard a Who song even if they don't know who they are, I mean the more commercial songs like My generation, everyone knows the words simply because its such an anthem to any age group. And Cowboy are you serious about that Led Who thing
BOWILLIE	Date: March 11, 2005 @ 8:55 PM led zep without a question..being as zep had more popular exsposure. all zep albums where multi platinum(at that time gold) and had massive cult following..i could only really remember a couple of who hit releases being...my generation...meaty beaty big and bouncy and the pinballwizard thing...tommy....
kyodylee	Date: March 11, 2005 @ 9:51 PM Oh Wow This thread just got me listening to some of my favorite Who songs ... (in no particular order) ... I'm the Face I Can't Explain Slip Kid Baba O'Riley Borris the Spider The Real Me I Don't Mind Bargain Squeeze Box Love Ain't for Keeping Substitute My Wife Music Must Change The Song is Over Pictures of Lily My Generation Getting in Tune Love, Reign O'er Me Magic Bus I Can See for Miles Pinball Wizard Guitar and Pen Going Mobile The Seeker Please, Please, Please Behind Blue Eyes Who Are You Won't Get Fooled Again Join Together Young Man Blues You Better You Bet Long Live Rock Put the Money Down Overture from Tommy Tommy Can You Hear Me But having just said that and as much as I The Who .... album for album, song for song, it's Led Zep all the way. Zep's albums are timeless. The Who ... well, they have their brillant moments, but their albums are filled with clunkers too. Except for "Who's Next" ... a masterpiece that should be in everyone's collection.
Cowboy666	Date: March 11, 2005 @ 10:07 PM ok~lets break this down. Series 1)Led-----as in "Zeppelin". Series 2) Who-----as in "The". oh well, can't always be funny. Here are a couple more Who “hits” if commercialism is what this is based on. Can't Explain Substitute Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere Baba O'Reilly Behind Blue Eyes Real Good Lookin' Boy Who Are You? Love, Reign O'er Me Eminence Front You Better You Bet The Kids Are Alright My Generation Won't Get Fooled Again Pinball Wizard We're Not Gonna Take It See Me/Feel Me Not to mention Boris the spider! lol! Both were great bands! Why compare? How’s this for a forum: Right hand or left hand?
Cowboy666	Date: March 11, 2005 @ 10:10 PM Look....lol kyodylee beat me to it!
kyodylee	Date: March 11, 2005 @ 10:22 PM Oh I forgot about Eminence Front, it! But wasn't that a Pete Townsend solo thing that later Tho Who included?
Woof	Date: March 12, 2005 @ 4:36 AM Personally, my vote goes to Winger Seriously, though... if I had to choose between The Who and Zep, I'd say Zep, 'cause their songwriting was more consistent. The Who always used to throw in these bridges and/or breaks, and I'd go "Wait... what'd they do that for?" It was like a lot of 'em seemed to be from a completely different song altogether... Zep's songs seemed better constructed. Actually, though... the core of renaissance in the '60's was the Beatles/Hendrix influence. As tired as folks might be of hearing that, those were the folks who set the standard. The rule, by which most other efforts were measured.
tsand19151	Date: March 12, 2005 @ 8:12 AM zep for me. Pete Townshend never touched me like Page did. Page just had so much more imagination to me....
BOWILLIE	Date: March 12, 2005 @ 11:05 AM all these who songs and no one mentioned red rubber ball....
Intergalacti...	Date: March 12, 2005 @ 2:07 PM Or 5.15!! I don't think any songs The Who did was bad, in their entire career they did nothing wrong. Even when they did an album after Keith's death although nothing was really up to the original line-ups st6andard it wasnt bad at all. I think they're pushing it a bit now, they have two people left and they call themselves The Who. Thats not kosher really but songwriting I personally think Townshend was up there with Dylan and Hendrix. He wasn't the best guitarist but thats all they really needed for the Who. John Entwistle was a soloist really and so was Keith, they needed one member to just stand there and play all the route chords. Well he ddn't really stand there did he but ya know what I mean.
BOWILLIE	Date: March 12, 2005 @ 2:37 PM i tried to incorporate my generation into our songlist one time they looked at me like i was crazy....the drummer could'nt get close to moons style of it...he defined the who...although his solo album did suck a tad...
Intergalacti...	Date: March 12, 2005 @ 7:37 PM Basically together they were the perfect band in my opinion. They're like Queen the band wouldnt hav survived, or even made it if one member was replaced by someone else.
Cowboy666	Date: March 12, 2005 @ 9:40 PM I agree with me. "Both were great bands!" Which would you choose. Right hand or left hand?
kingo	Date: March 12, 2005 @ 9:42 PM The Who didn't do Red Rubber Ball, that was halaka.
Thaspian	Date: March 13, 2005 @ 12:17 AM I never liked The Who too much, and Led Zeppelin's overplaying/oversinging gets to me sometimes. I'd say neither, but I choose Zeppelin because I do like very much some of their songs.
mos	Date: March 20, 2005 @ 3:27 PM I prefer Led Zep
kpavank	Date: March 21, 2005 @ 11:38 PM zepppppleeeeoo
noimportantone	Date: April 4, 2005 @ 5:29 PM ZOSO~!
Hatsy	Date: April 4, 2005 @ 8:00 PM It'd have to be Led Zep but only by a whisker Love em both...
noimportantone	Date: April 5, 2005 @ 10:43 AM I'm sorry but I do not feel like you do...
noimportantone	Date: April 5, 2005 @ 10:47 AM I have pieces to the guitar broken on stage in Chalmette, La from Pete Townshend's guitar. My mom gave them to me. But I still think Led Zep is better....
