When it comes to Zep these days, I prefer to listen to Jimmy's acoustic playing.

Though I just learned 'Misty Mountain Hop.'

Hard to answer. It depends on the day. It flip flops. I listen to the Abbey Road CD a lot. But I tend to listen/watch more of Led Zeppelin at YouTube, especially anything from The Song Remains The Same.

The title of Midnight Oil's song The Power And The Passion fits Led Zeppelin more than the Beatles, IMHO at least.

Today, Led Zeppelin is my answer. Yesterday too. Tomorrow Never Knows. Your Mother Should Know.

The second half of this song sounds like it to me but the song is a few years late?

For overall songwriting variety and influence, The Beatles. I prefer listening to Zep though.

"Does anybody remember laughter" "PUSH! PUSH!"

Enough said.

Like most guitarists, I got tired of requests for Stairway. So, a long while ago, another guitarist asked me if I knew it. I kept modulating the key a step up for every position in the run and he said:

"You know you're playing that wrong, don't you?"

This reminds me of a baby being delivered... and the mother.

All you need is love to get to the stairway to heaven.

Can't say who is the best, but they are both indispensable.

There's far too much more interesting music in the world for me to go out of my way to listen to either.

Kind of apples vs oranges comparison. I like certain things by both but I don't do a whole lot of revisiting the past, not to be *just* a snob. I saw LZ on the LZ II tour, they were great. I was 14 or like that though.

THAT SAID:

If you were ever expected to recreate the guitar solo on this, this is for you.

This is the second most important philosophical question of all time after "Which is better - a hedgehog or a bottle of creosote?".

If starving with only those those choices, baked hedgehog surprise may be the best on the menu, but nailing a hedgehog to a roof in the rainforest would not stop it rotting.

Although the original question seems a bit more sensible - I don't think it is by as much as people assume.

"What is better?" has already been pointed out as having no real definition. Apples and Oranges.

I am another who loves both, plus such disparate music as Holst, Ladytron, Ralph McTell, London Grammar, Echobelly, Evanescence and Bif Naked. To name a very few.

I just have a feel for some track or album at a particular time for some totally unconscious reason, which pretty much changes every time.

If in front of a firing squad at this moment right now today, if I had to answer to avoid being shot, I would say the passion and drive of Led Zeppelin would give them the edge over all the other winning qualities of the Beatles. BUT - In a minute's time???
