dalsh327 Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Isn't it the other way around? What made Led Zep special was Page having all those hours producing and engineering, and figuring out how to work on a tight budget without sacrificing quality. They never really struggled to put songs together until "In Through the Out Door". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Lahey Posted November 3, 2012 Author Share Posted November 3, 2012 In Through the Out Door still had All My Love, Fool in the Rain and In The Evening on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moreblack Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 (edited) Deep Purple are better than both bands. Purple had good moments, but they put out more bad than good. Partly due to the constant lineup changes, not finding their identity right off the bat, meandering around in areas they shouldn't have tried, and members just plain not getting along. In Rock, Machine Head and Made In Japan are great, but everything else is very hit and miss. There's still some great moments in the other albums, but a lot of crap too.

Black Sabbath Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 I believe Sabbath was, and is, better.That said, Zeppelin is not my favorite band, but they are pretty solid and I enjoy a good handful of songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moreblack Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 I think Sabbath's limitations as musicians and writers grew to suffocating levels by the time they finished Vol. 4, from that point on it's pretty much freefall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MEXzilla Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 To me Plant had more Range than Ozzy; so LZ was/is better than BS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Lahey Posted November 3, 2012 Author Share Posted November 3, 2012 Everybody in Zeppelin was way more talented than their counterparts in Sabbath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 both bands are from the Birmingham area? we're out at similar time period. Zepp seem like far superior musicians but Sabbath seem to have have more influence, prob because how can you really be as good as Zepp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragnar Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 (edited) sabbath blows away zeppelin and im a big zeppelin fan.No love Sabbath but zepp was ten times better then Sabbath ever was and ever will beDeep Purple are better than both bands.Once again no Deep Purple MK II was close to zepp but not better Edited November 3, 2012 by Son of a Guns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash Diet Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 (edited) dunno, but this is killer technical ectasy and never say die those albums were horriblei relistened TE 2 weeks ago and i surprised: i like the album.... in the past i don't really likeand NSD is good tooLed Zep side: Presence wasn't a good album, only Achilles Last Stand is good and ITTOD is horrible, imo(ps: I fuckin' love Led Zeppelin, but Sabbath is my favorite)was way more talented than their counterparts in Sabbath. Plant-Ozzy: 1-0Page-Iommi: 0-1Jones-Geezer: 1-0Bonham-Ward: Bonham (even Ward said this, when they jammed together once in 1975)Despite this: Sabbath is my fav.

moreblack Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 (edited) I agree about Presence, it gets a bad rap, but anything following Physical Graffitti would suffer accordingly. However, once you listen with fresh ears, there's some gold in there. Even obscure tracks like Hots On For Nowhere and For Your Life have gotten some love in recent years.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2g-rz6s3Xw As for Iommi and Page, Bron Yr Aur>Fluff Edited November 3, 2012 by moreblack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zint Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Why does Led Zeppelin get compared to Black Sabbath? I love Sabbath, but Led Zeppelin was better in every way.Early 70's they both were the heaviest shit around..that's why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 The worst Purple album simply pisses on Zep. But then, I consider Queen and Lizzy to be better bands than Zep. Kiss also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moreblack Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 (edited) And none of that is quite believable. Slaves And Masters is better than nothing, neither is Come Taste The Band. Edited November 4, 2012 by moreblack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
