The Who vs Led Zeppelin

[Boss]

I never got into Led Zeppelin. Then I finally sat down and listened to How the West Was Won and it suddenly clicked. That album is unbelievable if you haven't heard it. Just pure freedom and energy. I never heard that energy on any of their studio records.

I really don't see how this is up for debate at all. 

 

Pete Townshend a fucking Paedo

Roger Daltrey a tory cunt

 

 

There is not one member of The Who where they are better than Zeppelin 

 

Robert Plant pisses all over Daltry

John Paul Jones better

Jimmy Page better

John Bonham better

 

It's not even close

Always thought Daltry’s vocals were fucking epic and still are now. I prefer his vocals to plant. Also that twirly thing with the mic gets added points.

I never knew anybody could be in with a fighting chance against Entwistle when it comes to bass playing? You honestly think there is a better bass player? 

I play a bit of geetar and Townshend rhythm has always floated my boat. Nobody better IMO *plays intro to the seeker*

Everybody would have Moon in their dream band line up, just for the craic alone. 

 

It’s a whitewash

Both great bands but Zeppelin where much cooler back in my day.

John paul Jones is a great multi-instrumentalist and arranger, but as a bass player not even close to John Entwistle.

Is there any chance we can start spelling 'Daltrey' properly in this thread?

John Entwistle had possibly the most rock n roll death of all time. John Paul Jones produced an album by The Mission.

His politics stink but if we're going to delve into all their personal lives we'll find out that they're all cunts in their own ways. Some of the stuff I've read about Bonham & Moon would make your toes curl, both horrible bastards at times unfortunately.

Keith Moon was not a happy man

Bonham all the way for me although I love them both.

 

[lifetime fan]

The Who. Obviously.

Moon for me. Basically because he didn't do Moby Dick and have my Led Zeppelin mates play it to me repeatedly as a 15 year old stoner.

Best clothes is The Who by a fucking mile by the way.

Skim-read this thread and discovered Alan Curbishley used to hang about with Keith Moon.

 

Impressive trivia but, to be honest, I think Pardew and Lou Reed’s lost year in Berlin was more iconic.

Pardew was only there after helping out on the sound desk for Raw Power.

Not sure Rog ever sang like this

I'm staggeringly ignorant about both bands and only know a couple of tracks. I reckon I'd dig both bands though, where should I start?

Difficult one but if we're talking albums I'd go with:-

 

Led Zeppelin IV

Who's Next or maybe a greatest hits
