I grew up with the Zeppelin album so I have to vote there. Didn't discover Genesis' classic albums until later love both though! ------------- Prog On! |

| Led Zep. Fell in love with The Battle of Evermore the first time I heard it when I was 16. |

Epping Forest is the more complex tune by far, but that does not mean it is a better one. I went with Evermore. ------------- The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty" |

Led Zeppelin >>>>>>Genesis
Because LZ never fell into Pop Music. Besides, just "Battle of Epping Forest" is one of the weakest songs of Gabriel's era in Genesis... ------------- A Elbereth Gilthoniel silivren penna míriel o menel aglar elenath!

That's a silly comment - Battle of Epping Forest is many things, but pop it ain't  I also voted for Zep in this one, but only because I think it's a far better piece of music. ------------- Enhance your life.

Epping Forest is one of my favourite Genesis songs of all time. I don't know why it gets bashed so much. Half the stuff on the Lamb could'nt even compare to Epping Forest.

I like them both but don't love either. I won't vote. ------------- A TVR is not a car. It's a way of life. |

Led Zep for me! The Battle of Evermore is a beautiful track, while Epping IMHO is the one stinker on SEBTP. ------------- A GREAT YEAR FOR PROG!!! |

Battle of Evermore by a long chalk, although Epping Forest has benefited considerably from digital remastering so that I now find it more or less listenable. ------------- 'Like so many of you I've got my doubts about how much to contribute to the already rich among us...'

^ Like we need to be constantly reminded Genesis' pop years  I vote for the forest. Although Evermore is one of the better LZ tracks that doesn't get overplayed to death on the radio. -------------

| Love Epping Forest---it's bashed as being disjointed, but it's no more or less disjointed than the beloved Thick as a Brick IMO---- |

Epping isn't a good song at all. Too long and the melody annoys me. SEBTP is an OK album, but that song I always skip. Zep for me. ------------- There be dragons |
