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.

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

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 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.

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
