Default Led Zeppelin vs. Pink Floyd

Let's choose the best band among these two. I'd go with Led Zeppelin.

Pink Floyd is much more pleasing to my ears. I never got the hype for Led Zeppelin.

FLOYD...... was an orchestra...ZEP had some great guitar ...that's it...hated those semi-metal screamers that sounded like old witches on meth..

Pink Floyd is much better, and they didn't steal music (legal technicality) from other artists...
If Zeppelin would have given credit to the artists whose work they sampled (technically stole), I wouldn't think they are complete asshats...

Same here!

I've never been a big Zeppelin fan, although I had a couple of their albums when I was in high school - kind of required listening back in '71 and '72.

To me, there is just no contest; it's Floyd, hand's down.

Love me some Floyd!

Everyone in music steals something from another. For instance, Fat Old Sun does remind me of The Beatles. No wonder I liked the song.
