Default Band Face Off - Round 2

Well, Springsteen and Petty met each other in the ring, and while Bruce looked like he could sustain quite a few punches, skinny-boy Tom left The Boss bruised and bloody with 29 glorious votes to Springsteen's not too shabby show of 17.

So Round 1 to Petty, and his Heartbreakers of course, although the vote is still open!

Onto Round 2.

Both of these ear-deafening British rock legends have amps that go up to 11, but which will you choose?

Oh and don't forget to defend your choice.

Default Round 2: Led Zeppelin

Because Roger Daltry and Pete Townshend are both super creepy.

Hey this brings up something I heard awhile back. I had heard that The Who and Led Zepplin didnt like each other that much, especially Pete Townsend and Jimmy Page. Is there any trugh to this?

The Who. Never got into Led Zeppelin very much, though I do like quite a few songs. I personally love Roger Daltrey's voice; their early albums are almost flawless and obviously had a great deal of influence on punk, musically and thematically.

Oh my, make it difficult for a displaced rock chick why dontcha? Ok....Led Zep it is. Only cos my local biker bar always plays "Rock and Roll" real loud, real late and I tend to start the dancing. I'm tempted to go back and vote again to cancel my vote out tho. I swear I was born to late.........

Led Zep, hands down. The songwriting, vocals and musicianship appeal to me more than The Who and that's saying something. I like The Who but there will never, ever be anopther Led Zep.

Let me name drop here and say, I was talking to The Who's manager last week and he told me he also used to manage Jimmy Page. In fact he was interrupted half way through by a phone call from the man himself! The Who's manager and Jimmy are still good friends at the very least
Didn't Page play guitar on "I Can't Explain"?

This one isn't even close. I've never really liked The Who.

I picked LZ, but only because I like Tina Turner's version of Whole Lotta Love, and Stevie's rendition of Rock & Roll. I really don't like either of these bands. Although, Tina did a fine version of Acid Queen. Hmm...
