Actually thinking about it, this is a great place to start with The Who...

Freaks my nut out to this day that they put Boris The Spider on there.

Well we know where Roger stands on the bean issue.

 

Not on a fry up.

Not so much Zeppelin but fucking love this version with Page and Plant

 

Guess it doesn't have the power of the original line up even if there are about a 100 backing musician's helping out

 

 

 I know they sound different but who had the idea first of showing off the hair and chest..... Page ....

 

 

Or Daltrey??

 

Gotta throw Paul Rodgers into the mix as well for that.

Incidentally, with Free and Bad Company, he’s had more chart success than Zep.

 

personally, I think Rodgers had a better voice than either Daltry or Plant. Subjective though ey?

[Juniper]

Both bands are completely different in every single element.

[Stickman]

Without The Who you wouldn't have heard of Led Zeppelin ....

 

Well you would have heard of them they'd have just been called something different

I think due to the smashing of the guitar and drums this lead to The Oo being banned by the Beeb for a few years

I really can't believe this was posed as a serious question. 

 

Not even in Zeppelin's stratosphere.

The singers are completely different, the guitarists is, as is the bassist and drummer.

 

Both made different music so I don’t see the comparison to which one is better.

 

Both good and unique in their own way.

I get people would love Zeppelin more than The Who , fuck I love Zeppelin but to come out with comments like this or not even in the same league really is totally ridiculous and shows a total lack of musical knowledge .

The Who were one of the greatest and arguably the most influential band this country has ever produced from punk to heavy metal they have been a major influence on bands ranging from The Pistols to The Clash through to Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Weller, Johnny Marr and Oasis.

Throw in a shit load of classics which when you consider they only released nine studio albums the last two or three of which were shite then it's pretty impressive....(Oh and the best live LP ever)  

The sad thing is The Orrible Oo are more appreciated in the States than over here....Although looking at the kip of the people in this country I think that's a badge of honour.

I seem to recall almost all of the grunge / Sub Pop bands referencing Led Zeppelin as their main influence, and I always thought Zeppelin were widely credited for "inventing" heavy metal?

Led Zep were a major influence on Heavy Metal but it shouldn't be overlooked how Live at Leeds was as well

The Marshall stack was invented at the request of Pete Townshend. Changed rock music forever.
