Where's GR at to tell all us Zeppelin voters why we're wrong?
Led Zeppelin by a large margin even though I like quite a bit of Deep Purple.

I enjoy them both. And again I don't see the point in comparing Zep and Purple. They're musically quite different.

This is a joke ... Deep Purple is without a doubt a great rockin' band
but Led Zeppelin are the masters of classic-rock. I don't think anyone
rocks as well as Led Zeppelin and their compositional skills and
virtuosism rivals the best prog bands (Yes, Genesis, Pink Floyd)

Led Zeppelin, of course.
By the way, how come they're not classified as prog related by this
site? When I read the description of the Prog Related category, I
wonder why Zep is nowhere near to be found in the list of prog related
artists. Their catalogue even encompasses a handful of songs which
could easily be classified as folk prog or art rock, not just prog
related.
Led Zeppelin didn't consider themselves a hard rock or heavy metal (yes, some call them that  )
band. They saw themselves as unique, and as I listen through their
albums, I'm bound to agree. There's no way Zep was too mainstream to be
included on this site in the prog related category. Either they need to
be inducted immediately, or the description of the prog related
category must be re-written.
Have a listen to them and think about. You will find it makes sense.

Deep Purple, even though I won all of Zeps and albums and most DP's 60s-70s output, Ian Gillan's voice is simply better than robert plant and has more emotion to it. Plant seems detached from the music and when he is emtional it becomes maudlin and uinspired

I voted Led Zep, although both bands are in the top 5 of my all time favorites.

Led Zeppelin without a doubt! They've been the most innovative rock band of their genre at the time... and you can actually hear they played with pleasure.
Deep Purple is also a great band but missed that special magic that Zep was adding with each surprising change of direction with every new album they'd released. I still don't get it why DP is in the Prog Archives and Zep is not

Zeppelin has not made a single bad song.
Purple was amazingly good at their peak 1970-1972 but then, they lost "it".

Has to be Led Zep - individually Purple have had some great performers but as a UNIT Zep win easily.

My head hurts trying to make a choice!
I will go with LZ only because I think they have had a more lasting influence on the world of rock music.
I listen to more LZ ... but I think I appreciate the music more when I crank up a bit of (pre-Burn) Purple. I'm a big fan of "Made In Japan".
