They're bands who encompass slightly different spectrums of rock, in my opinion, and it's hard to compare. It really comes down to personal taste, I guess. Zep was more rockin', but Floyd pushed the envelope more. If you want to compare Gilmour and Page, that's one thing. But as far as the bands go, they're both awesome in my book. I mean, how can one compare Dark Side of the Moon with Led Zepplin IV? It's hard. And of course their live shows were different as well, with Zep being more of an intense, energetic stage production, and Floyd being more of a mellow, almost psychedelic band. Not quite apple and oranges, but almost.

true true
so which ones black

>>Which color is better, Red or Black?

Black. Always a good choice. It's like nighttime without the stars.

Actually if you're talking visual spectrum, it's white that contains all colors.

And really, it's about reflection. Black reflects no colors, white reflects all. Black absorbs all colors, white absorbs none. One could say that an object that absorbs all colors actually contains them, while an object that reflects all colors actually contains no color at all. A red object, since it reflects only red light, could be said to actually contain all colors except red.

It's kind of a grey area .

[MadAudio]

the colors, the colors....

[alpenglowRG11]

confusing but ok whatever

I don't know what cranched is but it's a great word.

Both of these bands are kind of missing links, spanning the end of the marijuanicus era and the beginning of the cocainerous period. Their power faded as new species such as Eagles, Ratts, Scorpions, and Bunnymen rose to dominance.
Somewhere along the line evolution went wrong, and we now have Brittanicus Spearicles and Backstreet Boyasuarus roaming free!

All we know of these ancient days we have learned from fossil records, found and carefully excavated by caring paleomusicologists.

Zep rules!
So does Floyd.

[Be Loveless]

Floyd
I just can't stand Robert Plants voice. I really want to like Led Zepplin but then tha dude starts schreeching.
Floyd went to a lot of cool places with thier music, not thier biggest fan but my group does a rendition of "Cymbaline" off of More.

"I don't know what cranched is but it's a great word."

To really know what it means, you need to read the short story "Scanners Live in Vain" by Cordwainer Smith. If you like good sci-fi, you will grok it.

Paleomusicologist! ROFL!

Thanks for the tip. I love sci-fi. Just finished a re-read of "The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress" and am now revisiting Peter Hamilton's Reality Dysfunction series. Not as themey as Heinlein but rocking good.
Favorite sci-fi movie- "Galaxy Quest"

I'm thinking I like Green best.

[stonepiano]

Also, I will tell you the Doors are way overrated, except for Ray Manzarek.

[Cyrokk]

Purely opinion, but from my perspective, Zeppelin had far more consistently good albums than Floyd. Floyd had DSOTM, Wish You Were Here, and The Wall. I can't listen to any other Floyd album all the way through. Zep OTOH, was damn near consistent from start to finish, with the exception of "Hats Off to Roy Harper" and Bob's worst vocal song ever, "In The Evening".

And you want to talk about annoying vocals, Roger Waters is horrid during the operatic fourth side of The Wall.

Is this a very subtle vote for the Floyd?

'. . . btw, which one is Pink?'

If so, very cool. If not, never mind!

[MK-Ultra]

I liked Floyd until Waters got all depressingly self-indulgent. Whenever I listen to Zep, I remember Plant's 'DOES ANYBODY REMEMBER LAUGHTER?' line from TSRTS version of StH. Then, the hair on the back of neck goes up, I shiver, cringe, and begin to retch.

When I listen to Floyd these days, it's generally pre-Dark Side of the Moon stuff.

I hardly listen to Zep now. I was more impressed with Page when I was 18 than I am now.

[andyhix]

For great Floyd albums, don't overlook Animals.

[MK-Ultra]

It has it's moments, but it is just too misanthropic, even for me. The music is ok, I just find the lyrical themes oppressive. Dogs is just too long, and depressing to boot; I'd think my fave is Sheep. Still, it will always connect me back to when I was 17, which is when it came out.

[PushtoVent]

Double points on the Animals plug there, and my vote would have to go to Pink Floyd as well. All in all on a strictly musical level they just move me more. That's all there is to it. Ok ok, I hate Robert Plant too, but usually he's easy to overlook. And besides, pink IS red, with just a touch of every other color too. So, in that sense, Floyd wins as well.
