You're right..it IS difficult......but I'm leaning towards the Zep !....I just can not commit myself to a vote just yet !.......I need to see one of those ladies in a fair to read my tea leaves before I come to a decision!!

Its Zep for me.

I have all the Zep albums/cd's/remasters and yet nothing by the Who.

What actually is the question? Which is the better band? Which do I prefer? Which of them crucified Cliff Richard? Before I can vote, I need to know what I'm voting for.

All of the above. Kidding.
Which is the better band?

Better in what respect? Musical ability? Live performance? Song-writing?

the who (for me).. led-zep are a bit too prog-rock, the who were exciting, dynamic, (still) fresh-sounding, melodic

i`ve seen them around 7 or 8 times, twice when keith moon was drumming with them (however they were never the same once he died it took the energy and drive away)

Led Zepplin hands down for me, I do love the Who also just not quite as much.

guitarist - Jimmy Page
vocalist - equal
drummer - equal
bassist - John Entwhistle
song-writing - Pete Townsend
record production - Pete Townsend
live - equal

On paper, The Who should be better.

But it's not really fair to compare them anyway. The Who were a pop/rock band, Zep were a progrock band.

Then which genre do you like more?

That's another question I can't really answer. I like bands from both, and which I prefer depends largely on my mood at any given time.

One account of the band's naming, which has become almost legendary, has it that Keith Moon and John Entwistle suggested that a possible supergroup containing themselves, Jimmy Page, and Jeff Beck would go down like a lead zeppelin, a term Entwistle used to describe a bad gig. The group deliberately dropped the 'a' in Lead at the suggestion of their manager, Peter Grant, to prevent "thick Americans" from pronouncing it as "leed".

Ben - leave it. It is a cat fight amongst the women. You did nothing. As an adult male having tried it before - DO NOT, repeat DO NOT get between two women who are after each other. They will turn in unison, claw you to death, then go back to fighting amongst themselves.

Just stand clear as far away as possible.

As far as I know, I am the only woman involved in the fight and I wasn't even fighting, I was flouncing off. Turnipsock is not female and Ben is not female. Turnipsock is at present stealing my comments, embroidering them and then passing them off as his own. It is happening on Beaverland as well I note. Turnipsock, just because I am your fan club secretary doesn't mean you can use me so horribly, you cad you.

At least I don't set jaw traps and club Beavers to death for their fur to make a living - You must give me that much credit. Besides, If you weren't abused, you wouldn't feel as if this was really a home for you. Our families are where the most abuse comes from. So you see, I'm actually doing you a favor.
