I wish there was a Both Equally option, but I have a Whole Lotta Love for Led Zeppelin, so Led Zeppelin it is. Smile

Pre-2010 though, I definitely would've voted for Black Sabbath, mainly because I had no Led Zeppelin albums back then, but now have nearly all of them, apart from the last two albums, which went in one door and out through the other. Coda. Wink

I was only 3 in 73 so I had no idea at the time. These days I probably gravitate more towards Black Sabbath so they get my vote.

Surprised I hadn't voted in this before, love Zep but Sabbath are winning this, that run of albums from debut to Sabotage is sublime.

I guess I enjoy them equally much, just in different ways, as they're different.

Neither band were ever a favorite of mine, but Zep always had my respect and admiration. 

The best Led Zeppelin album I ever heard was Heart's debut album, Dreamboat Annie; the best Sabbath song, "Smoke on the Water" (the two bands, Sabbath and Deep Purple, were synonymous to me.) Just not my cup of Boone's Farm....

I think the only albums I've ever owned by any of these four bands are Dreamboat Annie and Houses of the Holy. (Despite this last statement, I qualify myself to participate in this poll and discussion because I've probably heard all of them: my brother was a big fan of all of them.)

I like a lot of bands that people say sound similar to Led Zep, such as Rush and The Tea Party (to name just two), but I have never got on with Led Zep. Sabbath, on the other hand, I love. I should qualify that. I love the first six albums. I don’t like any of what followed anywhere near as much, though there is still plenty to enjoy. But even with that qualification, I still love Sabbath more than Zep by an almost infinitesimal amount.

Zeppelin. I love Sabbath, but they are very one dimensional in comparison.

For me, one led to the other.....I had a couple of Zep records as a tot and wanted to hear more like it, which led me to the Sabs, among a slew of others.  Is it bad form to leave the party with other than the one that brought you?
I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there.....

If you only consider Black Sabbath's Ozzy era, then I just can't vote.  Also since LZ is not currently active and hasn't been for quite a while, then I can only consider the Ozzy era albums (but don't forget 13).   Anyway, I love both bands equally and immensely.

Do it and my vote will definitely shift from Sabbath to LZ.  I don't think anything Sabbath did post '73 (Sabotage+ including the Dio albums which I can't stand) come close to Physical Graffiti Wink

Let's move on, I gave up on this idea. 

I haven't LOL

I stopped being interested in Black Sabbath after Never Say Die. This was because my interests shifted away from heavy metal / hard rock and towards progressive rock. Indeed, it was only fairly recently that I first listened to Heaven And Hell. It reminded me strongly of Rainbow. Although I love Rainbow Rising, it just wasn't Black Sabbath IMO.
