Sabbath on this one, especially since my favorite Sabbath album came out in 1973, so I'm biased.

Jethro Tull.
 And right you are, David, re the blues running through all of the veins, especially at that time.

Sabbath was blues based, but the heavy sound came out of the Schlager tradition.
Or wait, I think it worked the other way around.

Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not lessen all the glorious sunsets I observed before. It can be much like that with music for me -- immersed in experiencing the moment.

^ Sabbath not blues-based? Profoundly incorrect. Sabbath were steeped in blues, in some ways more than Zep who were so schooled in it that they were able to transcend it. Sabbath were, in a way, the ultimate heavy blues band. Everyone in that time were essentially a blues band except the most arty (like Genesis): Tull, Floyd, ELP, Jeff Beck, all owe everything to American Blues. |

The major difference between them is that LZ were just recycling the blues whereas BS were breaking new ground with a heavy sound that wasn't blues based.

I prefer Led Zeppelin.
Technically, for example in terms of singing and guitar virtuosity, Led Zeppelin surpass Black Sabbath. The most beautiful album, in my opinion, is Led Zeppelin I (full of cover, I know, full of blues but.... it was very inspired and well arranged... it was the primal scream). Then Led Zeppelin IV. Then, slightly lower, at a similar level, Led Zeppelin II, Paranoid, Master of Reality... then, slightly lower, Black Sabbath. Ps I like Masters of Reality (1988) too!

Sabbath every time. I know it's semi-heretical, but I never really dug Zep.

I was a little toddler then, but had I known both, I think I would have been a little more into Sabbath.

Rewind the clock to 1973. Ozzy hadn't descended into a drink & drug disaster yet...Page & Plant were still a tight songwriting team before the death of Plant's son...both bands were filling stadiums and riding the peak of their popularity...both bands just released what could be argued as the most proggy album in their history. Someone asks which of these 2 bands you like better and based only on the albums released so far your answer is? Black Sabbath s/t Paranoid Masters of Reality Vol IV Sabbath Bloody Sabbath Led Zeppelin s/t LZ II LZ III LZ IV Houses of the Holy I would've put this in 'Prog Polls' but since both bands are in PA as 'prog related' I thought this was the best forum...any mods feel free to move if prog polls is a better home
