although i love The Who.

Almost nothing beats Physical Graffiti, I, II and III and IV. That's just too much strength.

Led Zeppelin, no contest. The had the best living rock guitar player and Robert Plant's voice is way better than Roger Daltrey's for me.

And, Donovan's "Sunshine Superman" & "Season Of The Witch".

The big "yes, he did/no, he didn't" song about Jimmy Page was The Kinks "You Really Got Me" (not "I Can't Explain")..Jimmy says he came up with the riff & played guitar on it, Dave Davies says "no, f***ing way". That's where the big "bad vibes" is...not between Jimmy & the Who.

I voted for the Who...they've been around longer...plus, I'm only just now coming out the other side of my "I'm so sick of Led Zeppelin I could puke" phase.

Well, this one was easy!! The Who doesn't come close to Led Zeppelin. Not in their dreams IMO

Led Zeppelin. Never could get in to The Who. Slept for 2 hours in the San Diego Sports Arena (sometime in the 70's) waiting for Zeppelin to show up very late for their concert. It was worth the wait!

The Who. I love both bands, and I admit I have more Zep than Who, but I think The Who were more original throughout their career, relatively speaking. And, they invented the rock opera, which may actually hurt them.

That reminds me of one of the funniest comments I've ever heard. Once, Keith Richards said he couldn't imagine working with singer as flamboyant as Robert Plant. Ummm, Keith...

The Who. I've never really listened to LZ, though I am familiar with their work. But it was my dad that introduced me to The Who, since he's a fan. So, while growing up, I was always forced to listen to them. Not that it was a hardship.

you'll grow out of it - actually swing your guitar and break your hand Mr. Baba O'Reilly

Seriously, The Who are amongst the best of the best. I love all there stuff - Quadrophenia, Tommy, etc. - Hell, I even loved "Athena" and "Eminence Front" from Its Hard.

But, LZ is just a little better IMO - though in this class second is really first as well.

Tough one. Well, Led Zeppelin is one of my all time favorites...so I guess it isn't that hard. THey are, in my opinion, one of the best rock and roll bands ever.

Ditto. Never got into any of their music.

I'm not a fan of either one, but I dislike The Who whereas I'm mostly indifferent to Led Zep. Songs like "Squeezebox" and "Teenage Wasteland" just annoy the sh*t out of me. In fact the only Who song I've heard and actually enjoyed is "Behind Blue Eyes." There's at least a handfull of Zep songs that I like, "Kashmir" above all.
