Pink Floyd, and it's not even close. JMO. There's something about psychadelic space blues. Floyd is my favorite band of all time, and I think that Led Zeppelin is slightly over-appreciated.

I don't agree with you but this is a much better argument than Billy C.

I listen to both bands and Floyd definitely has it's place in the canon of music history, deservedly so, but I believe Zeppelin is one of the top bands of all time.

I couldn't even tell you anything Led Zepplin sings besides Stair Way to Heaven. Overrated one hit wonders. They are decent though.

I wouldn't even include that in my top 10 list of Led Zeppelin songs. Listen more before you throw out dumb comments.

One thing I really appreciate about Floyd is that they used classical methodology in creating their albums. They would introduce melodies and themes early in the album and reintroduce them at later points. Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals, and The Wall are amazing works of art. To me, Floyd is the best combination of art and entertainment in rock history, and that's why I love them.

Pink Floyd does nothing for me. Not a fan

Led Zepplin, on the other hand, is phenomenal. I bet their concerts were bad ass

Floyd for me, but if you think Zep is overrated...Well, there are those that still think the Holocaust didn't happen.

Zep's "Mothership" greatest hits album is a great place to educate yourself on the exploits of Robert Plant & co. Best performance I've ever seen is a Dazed and Confused jam between Ben Harper and John Paul Jones at Bonnaroo a few years back.

I wish Plant and LZ would headline 'Roo one time before it's too late....Epic doesn't even begin to describe what that show would be.

It's hard to compare Floyd and Zep, though. They're totally different.

Have you listened to "How the West Was Won"? Got that for my dad for Christmas one year. If being there was even half as awesome as it sounds, then I'm not sure I could handle awesome of that magnitude.

Pink Floyd is for folks dropping acid and looking at the pretty lights.

I tend to flatter myself and say I like them because I'm a deep thinker. Never dropped acid.

What Your Favorite Classic Rock Band Says About You:

Led Zeppelin: The first three things you smoked were banana peels, catnip, and poppies, in that order.

Pink Floyd: Your garage is full of failed versions of your stereo/barbecue hybrid.

nbaker, thanks for the link. That list is the funniest thing I have read all day.

The Black Sabbath one was especially funny:

Your greatest joy is painting in unventilated rooms.

I know, it's great, huh? Some of my favorites:

The Doors: You have been bitten by an animal while trying to get it stoned.

The Beatles: You can do exactly 1.5 pull-ups.

The Eagles: You can only reach orgasm while listening to talk radio.

Rush: You carry a small flashlight everywhere, and use it at least three times a day.

Foreigner: You have a severely wrinkled Jane Fonda poster under your bed.

Styx: You have a severely wrinkled Foreigner poster under your bed.

Ted Nugent: Your hair has at some point been caught in a ceiling fan, boat propeller, or lathe.

Santana: You have had an hours-long conversation with someone before realizing it was just a pile of clothes.

Lynyrd Skynyrd: You somehow have both long hair and a sunburned scalp.

They are known for more than one song I guess but they are seriously way overrated. Pretty much one hit wonders besides people that just love them.

They are just the architects of rock, nothing more.

You can't be this stupid, so I'm assuming you're just that attention deprived to say something so moronic.

Floyd lost their main song writer and creative force two times, and still had huge success.

Zepplin lost their drummer and couldn't go on. The argument can easily be made Bonham was irreplaceable I guess.
