5:15 is one of the best rock songs ever, but for albums, I have to go with Houses.
More heavy prog, please!

Quadrophenia is superior in every way.  I can't believe this is even a question.  I don't own Houses, and except for the Rain Song, I thought it was one of their weaker efforts.  I own Quadrophenia on vinyl and CD. 

The score in my book:

Houses - the Rain Song.

Quadrophenia - The Real Me, I'm One, Bellboy, 5:15, Doctor Jimmy, Love Reign O'er Me...

Seriously?

One more vote for the Quad. 

Overall I highly prefer Zeppelin to the Who, but it's my favorite Who album vs one of my least favorite Zeppelin albums.

My serious was serious.  Deadly serious.  I would never dare joke about anything as important as the comparison of two rock albums.

I tend to agree with your assessment. Zeppelin IV and Physical Graffiti dwarf Houses of the Holy.

for me it as to be HOUSES, as of the two albums it was the first I`d heard by Zeppelin. it was closely followed by Quad...

It's a great perfomance, but Mr Townshend is a slightly better songwriter.

Went with Quadrophenia because as a whole it's a better effort with a larger number of good tracks and it has a decent concept to it.....but I do think that Song Remains , No Quarter, and Rain Song are some of the best tracks Zep ever wrote.

Quadrophenia
never been the biggest fan of either band but The Who made 3 albums I enjoy listening to (Quad , Who's Next and The Who By Numbers). With Led Zep, I just like some tracks here and there

broke the tie voting for Houses of the Holy (the best Zep album for me); Quadrophenia is great too, though (HOWEVER, i'm getting controversial for the fact that i actually prefer Tommy over this..... and of course Who's Next over both of them.......f**k)
