Is it fair to compare Led Zeppelin to the Beatles?

I would put Zeppelin, The Stones and the Beatles as 1A, 1B, and 1C as the greatest three bands of all time. In no particular order.

What the hell, and while we're at it, let's compare Grand Funk to Rufus. I'm throwing these 2 acts out in particular, because I remember a certain day at my grandma's house, I saw them both on broadcast TV.

Yeah, add Pink Floyd to that list. The Brits just did it better.

Paul McCartney said that the Stones were sort of a blues cover band. There is some truth to that and the fact that Led Zep are sort of a blues cover band too. That doesn't mean that they weren't great on their own. Beatles and LZ were just very different and don't make for good comparisons.

The Beatles always sounded like The Beatles. Zeppelin could be Black Dog, Thank You or Kashmir...they were all over the map. Both stretched their sound, but I don't know of many rock bands that went to all the places Zeppelin did.

No. Led Zeppelin was much better than the Beatles.

Zeppelin never passed up an old dead blues man that they could rip off.
I'd compare them to Milli Vanilli before the Beatles.

Some spicy takes up in here.
I think The Beatles are the better, more influential band, but Led Zeppelin is obviously great too.

Have you ever listened to the White album? If you want a band to go in multiple directions this is for you. So many types of music at one time!

The Beatles had a sense of humor
But humorless pomposity is also popular, as Zep proves

Many times. It's a great piece of work, but the Beatles almost always sound the same to me. Sgt. Pepper sort of stretched it a bit, but there's just something too familiar about every bit of their sound.

People normally answer this question with prejudice towards the music they like the best. This would be Led Zeppelin for me. But, a truly objective ranking would have the Beatles so far ahead of everyone else, it would not be close, based on the prodigious output of fantastic songs and the amount of great musicians that cover their songs to this day.

Really? What a frickin idiot. Milli vanilli? You must be be a lil troll.

No, there was no Yoko Ono factor with Zeppelin.

Well, she hardly disqualifies the greatness of their output regardless of whatever part she played in their breakup. They seemed to be on that path anyway. I think she showed up during the White Album, so Abbey Road and Let It Be came afterwards. Those were amazing records.

All Beatles songs sound the same?
That's a new one
