To this day, the Stones (along with the Fab Four) have remained the most listenable band in the history of music; play them any time of day or night, and never get tired of them.
By contrast, the monolithic, bombastic pomp of Zep's music belongs way back when in a time warp when prog-rockers ruled the earth.
...which is what they really are.

i know the stones hated zep as evidenced by one of anita's interview's
but the reverse is not true
i just read an old[04] interview with pagey and he stated that he really dug the stones take on chicago blues...esp brian's playing
they both loved raw rugged blues
i mean how could keef not like something like "hats off to roy harper" or how many more times?

and kicked the Stones' butts at the box office from 71 thru to their break up.
Is this true?
Certainly not in 1972.

Zep's catalog got almost 7,000 spins on the US radio last week, while the Stones (with about 200 more songs) got 2,200.
Strange isn't it?
Zeppelin seems more listenable for the radio than the Stones.

Zppelin are bigger than the Stones now as they were then. And that is a fact.

ever see them live? some of their shows were incredibly boring - three of their songs lasted 20 minutes each- all self-indulgence.

I don't mind how big they were. I only know that Stones are better, sorry.

Dude, couldnt be more accurate. Totally agree. I love the Stones way more but the fact remains that Zep always resonates better with more people. They just have a diff mystique about them that keeps on and on. producing more fans all the time. Stones are for a select few nowadays it seems. Zep just constantly attracts new fans for some reason. maybe cuz they had a beginning and end within 12 years or so. just like the beatles. i think the stones even though doing what they love for so long should have stopped long ago. They are like the brett favre of music. dont know when to quit. and yes my fave band ever but shit man, UC was the last really "Stonesy" album anyway. They would be much more loved and appreciated and interesting if they had stopped long time ago. sounds shitty but its true. they would have become instant legends after UC and calling it quits. The world is weird

WRONG!....they stopped touring and stopped being a band because their drummer died....duh.
They have only played 5 times as Led Zeppelin since July 7, 1980 (date of their final show)....Live Aid, Jason Bonham's Wedding, Atlantic's 40th Anni, Rock And Roll Hall of Fame Induction ceremony & at Ahmet's Concert in 07 at the O2.
